Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    It was one of the best hostels I've ever stayed in. It's a clean hostel where you can stay safely. It's within walking distance of all the tourist attractions in the city center. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Iresha helped us with every problem, she's very patient and does her job very well. I've stayed in a hostel many times before. But I can say that this hostel is the best. Thank you very much.

    Great location, just few minutes walk to the old town and many attractions. A lot of good bars and restaurants around the hostel. The bunk bed is really good, it is normal stairs with hard surfaces under the mattress which feels very good.

    The best hostel I’ve ever stayed in, much nicer than many of the budget hotels I’ve stayed in. The staff were so incredibly helpful, especially a young girl with blonde hair working Saturday 17th august day shift. Unfortunately we didn’t catch her name but she honestly made our trip in Zagreb, she gave recommendations and helped us with transport!
