2-Star Hotels in Zagreb County, Croatia

A friend and I were passing through Zagreb and needed some basic accommodations to stay one night. We figured this hostel might be fine, with a private two bed room being a fairly affordable option. The staff was extremely friendly, and the amenities were good for what one would expect for a hostel. Only issue was that we could barely sleep due to the room being directly on a busy street, we couldn't close the windows due to the extreme heat and their was no AC provided in the room, only a tiny fan. Would recommend this place in a pinch, but if you have the budget definitely better to stay elsewhere.

The hostel is very clean and conveniently located, yes!  Would I return there? Not sure. This is due to lack of amenities that I have never seen missing from other hostels: - 1 bathroom per floor, the bathroom is shared between 3 rooms of 4; 12 people at 1 bathroom is a bad idea. - sockets, sockets, sockets. The beds does not have a socket, there are 2 of them randomly located in the room but other hostels I have been in had bed and own socket which should be standard. - no curtains for the beds, no privacy - no light in the bed, like a small lamp that everyone can use if others are sleeping. Clean hostel but the lack of these amenities is disappointing.

What began as a suspiciously underpriced, gorgeously designed, epicentrically located property with heart and smiles for days...turned into a psychotic, abusive nightmare, like something straight out of Rosemary’s Baby. Never in all my days, in all the hundreds of properties and thousands of nights in everything from backpacker hostels to five-star suites, have I been subjected not simply to bad service (fixable) but outright and unrepentant hostility, harassment and torment by the staff. Unbelievable. As the gentleman and professional many know me to be, I in good faith detailed the infractions, called for a GM meeting, recommended simple solutions, had multiple follow-up meetings, and presumed the offending micro-tyrants would be disciplined and neutralized. They weren’t. It only got worse. And worse still. Think, stalking, door slamming, man-handling my iPad (verboten), shorting guest change when paying by cash in the bar (witnessed multiple times), having aggressive security called for eating in an otherwise public area five minutes beyond a theretofore unknown “rule,” asking me repeated and pointedly “how long I would be staying...” you get the idea. So, in the end, I cancelled two weeks of reservations (which would have been expanded to 6+) and protested with my feet. I left. A day out and I STILL feel emotionally winded, unsure of what I just witnessed. All I know is that if my behavior to a client or guest even approached this, I’d be – and should be – terminated on the spot. This was not the decision of management. But maybe it’s me. Maybe this is Croatia’s version of adventure travel. Not enough to make me fall out of love with Zagreb...but close. Interesting world.

Located near to the town square with nearby tram stations to the inter city bus terminal. Hostel is clean and well maintained with clean bedsheets and towel. Room is spacious with adequate space and locker. Well equipped kitchen to prepare your meals and large common areas for relaxation. Arrived at the hotel on the 21st April 2025 at 6am and requested to store my luggage but was directed to store my luggage downstairs in the common area even though the luggage room was right behind her. However would highly recommend this hostel to fellow travellers.

It was a very enjoyable stay at a humorous hostel. Breakfast was also included and I was able to bake * and eat it. I was a little troubled because I wasn't aware of staying consecutive nights, but I was able to respond quickly. Thank you very much.

not too far from main train station, about 15mjn tram ride. the place itself is what u expect at this price, not too bad. the staff is very helpful, and open till 11pm i think, which is very helpful for if u are arriving late. i did a 1 night trip to neighbouring countries and they were helpful to keep the luggage until we came back. i recommend this place

Great surprise for us and very good value for money! Staff was super nice and helpful, took 5 mins to go through the map and recommended places to go. Room is compact but is everything you need - it looks so new and clean assuming it has just been renovated. Shower temperature was good for summer but might not be warm enough in winter if don’t turn on the heater. Very big desk if that’s useful for you. 15 mins walk from the train station and nearest shopping mall, and another 15 mins walk to reach city centre. Free parking in front of the hotel.

The first time I stayed in the Youth Hostel, it was much better than expected. People from all over the world were very friendly, and the labels written by everyone in the restaurant were also very interesting. You can rest assured to live in the Youth Hostel in the future!

I'm not a frequent hostel-goer, but my stay here was less than impressive despite the high praise it often receives. The 11-person dorm felt cramped, featuring creaky wooden beds placed too closely together. The bedding and air quality left much to be desired. On the plus side, the facilities were decent and relatively clean, including a bar area that seemed underutilized both by guests and outsiders. Considering the £20 per night price tag, there are plenty of other options in Zagreb that offer a better value for the same cost
