Summary of traveller reviews

HI Hostel Zagreb offers a fantastic location, perfect for exploring the city. While many guests appreciate the friendly staff and good value, some recent reviews mention concerns about security due to a shared key system and a lack of air conditioning, making rooms uncomfortably hot in warmer months. The absence of a kitchen is also noted.

Locker keys have to be rented and there is one key shared between everyone in the room. Very inconvenient. There is no air-conditioning in the rooms. The bathrooms are claustrophobic and didn’t feel clean. The staff were really nice.
