About

In Stay Swanky you will be welcomed by a team of young travellers, meet locals in the adjoining bar and hang out with people from all over the world in our cool, quirkily decorated facilities. Dive into the perfect harmony of old and new Zagreb in the renovated 19th-century factory with eco-friendly facilities!

It took a small group of young travellers led by a visionary to turn this dry cleaning and fabric-dyeing factory from the late 19th century into a dream hostel - a destination within a destination.

Located on the doorstep of the old town Zagreb, Stay Swanky offers dorms, private rooms, studio apartments, sunny terraces, a common room with a fully equipped adjoining kitchen and a seasonal pool (opened from May until October) in the form of a green oasis just a few steps away from the bustling city centre.

When you arrive tired and hungry, be sure to visit SOI Fusion - the restaurant next door which was proclaimed the best new restaurant in Zagreb. Follow up this delicious meal with a drink from our very own The Swanky Bar - one of the most popular spots in Zagreb!

Includes everything you need for a memorable stay: free WiFi, linens and towels, lockers, ensured security and privacy in all the rooms and dorms, as well as AC and TV, and Netflix in our deluxe private rooms. Stay Swanky is a place to make fun and (in)appropriate memories to last you a lifetime :)

Bianca was the best!! I missed my train in the morning and she was so helpful and calm!! It was a bit noisy at night since we’re right on the street but the amenities were very nice. The staff were all super great!

Stayed with a friend in a four-bed dorm with bathroom which we had to ourselves, it was very quiet even in early July. The room was clean and had backpack-size lockers, individual outlets and lamps. The whole hostel was well-maintained and the staff was very helpful with our late arrival and storing luggage. Not the most social place as the common space is a small kitchen area with seating, plus the pool and public bar, but very convenient for sightseeing. Free welcome drink was nice!
