Hotel Esplanade Zagreb
This is a historic building, that has been very well kept. Architectural beauty, that brings you back in time but lack some of the modern comfort and conveniences.

Best Western Premier Hotel Astoria
The breakfasts were excellent, such a wide variety available and staff were very attentive at clearing tables, topping up etc. Great hotel, with lovely atmosphere and so iconic of the 1930's. Would thoroughly recommend for a stay in Zagreb.

Zonar Zagreb by Maistra City Vibes
The breakfast buffet was the best I have ever had! Everything else was also outstanding and the only thing I missed was the opening of the roof top, maybe next time…

Hotel Dubrovnik
Bathroom was good size and very clean. Room is very tired looking, definitely needs carpets removed. Breakfast was decent, fruit selection was not the best though. Hotel is excellent location for exploring.
