Sveti Ivan Žabno Vacations from $1,020

Nice modern clean hotel with big rooms and bathrooms. Plenty of parking. Good staff and restaurant

Hotel Republika was a terrific option for my family. It is rare in a city to have a boutique hotel experience, complete with parking, that remains a short walk to the main attractions of the area. The space was large and well designed, and even had two bathrooms for a two-bedroom unit. Perfect combination of quiet/peaceful space to use as a home base, but close enough to walk to the heart of the city.

Fantastic place to stay lovely and clean, breakfast was plenty and the lunch menu was fantastic. Staff were perfect 👌

The host was very attentive to all of our needs from booking through checkout … great location with two great restaurants just below.

The good: Location is excellent, right near the city's main square and a short walk from many sights and fun areas of town. The hotel itself is really nice, rooms are clean and new and well designed, pool and gym are very cool. The not-so-good: Staff is generally pretty friendly, but can also be a little dismissive, which we've found to be more or less par for the course in Croatia. Rooftop was closed 'for the season' though there was no notice and all the other outdoor bars and restaurants in town were open. The bad: Try to ensure you have a room that is not facing the "courtyard", which is not a courtyard but a tiny parking lot with views of the next door building's HVAC. If you get one of the studios, which is kind of a mini-suite, then they all face the 'courtyard', so try to at least get one on a higher floor. Conclusion: You're in Zagreb to see the city, not the hotel, so the relatively minor inconveniences of the Zagreb Art'otel are not a big deal; the hotel is still very nice. Enjoy the city, sights, people, food, and have fun in Croatia!
