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 :)

Zagreb is not a very safe feeling city for solo female travelers. I stayed in a mixed dorm and wish they had female dorms as there were many older men who stared at me… literally watched my every move as I packed to leave the next morning. Party centric so people came and went until 4am. Would recommend an all female hostel for this city or avoiding it if possible lol. Was generally clean in the rooms but felt like I was sleeping in a cardboard box. Light and chargers inside cot are a big plus!

pretty average place. everything seemed clean. my room was in the basement right next to a water pipe which you could hear running quite often. but its in a really good location, with a bar on site which is nice. but wasnt very social at all when i was there .

Great location! They didn’t input our reservation and there were no beds for us, but they upgraded us to a private room for the same price. Really helpful.
