Literally 2 min walk from the central train station, you could see it when you came out the doors. Comfortable bed and Way above average breakfast buffet.
Hotel was fine, great location to the station. Room had everything we needed only downside was the noise from outside, even with the window closed you can hear the station announcement and traffic etc. breakfast was good, kept been refilled and tables cleared quickly.
Excellent location ! Very friendly staff ! Breakfast had a great choice and all in all a wonderful place to stay ! We spent four nights here and loved it !
Wonderful customer service from the whole team. Breakfast was delicious. Loved that our room was cleaned up daily. We loved it so much that on our way back home to NYC, we have a two day break, so we decided to book a room at Hotel Central.

The place is centrally located and a good value for the money. Rooms were clean and maintained well
This is the perfect place to stay for easy access to the train station. It’s about a 20 minute walk though to the old town. The staff were helpful when needed and the room was clean and inviting.
Very clean and comfortable. Easy walk to the main square and Zagrebs sites. Parking is literally across the street in front of the hotel if you need it. The breakfast buffet is amazing! Only drawback is the wifi isn’t good. Other than that, excellent hotel!
I recommend this hotel. Clean and straightforward. Ideal for exploring the lovely city of Zagreb as it is situated by the wonderful horseshoe. Book now.
Great location across road from train station, staff helpful and friendly. Large very clean room and so much choice for breakfast. We were catching early train so breakfast from 6am was brilliant
Absolutely enjoyed my stay. The hotel was around 15 to 20 mins walk to city, and was in a safe neighbourhood. Breakfast had a variety, and was comfortable. Will be back again.
