Summary of traveller reviews

HI Hostel Zagreb offers a fantastic central location, perfect for exploring the city. Guests frequently praise the friendly and helpful staff. However, many recent reviews highlight that the rooms can get very warm, especially in summer, due to a lack of air conditioning. The shared room key system is also a common point of concern for security and convenience.

Very basic but clean and functional. Friendly, helpful staff and great location for the city centre while still being close to buses and trains.

Positive aspects: great location, it has a really nice common area on the ground floor, the private room is simple but very confortable with two beds and a desk, toilets were very clean always. Didn't liked: there is no kitchen so its not possible to cook. Every time you need cutlery to eat something you have bought you need to ask the reception. Customer service was not amazing. Every time I asked them something I felt I was disturbing them.
