A fantastic stay in the heart of Zagreb. The main choice for us for this was location, and it cant really be beat. 2 minute walk to the main square, 1 minute walk to the main pick up point for a large number of daily tours, and 1 minute walk to the nearby tram stops. The hotel itself is fantastic too, with friendly staff and clean spaces. The room was a great size with modern features like a smart tv, button operated curtains and a large bathroom. The room was clean, decorated well and had everything you needed it in. The hotel also comes with a spa and pool area, which includes a sauna and steam room. The pool is heated, but was still a little bit chilly, and the steam room had a nice eucalyptus in the steam which made it feel much nicer. Overall if we were returning to Zagreb we would look to book this hotel again
