Featuring free Wi-Fi access, Hostel Bureau offers dormitory rooms and private rooms in the centre of Zagreb, a 5-minute drive from the Zagreb Central Station. A games room with billiards and shared kitchen facilities are available.

Location, room size, facilities in room - had a table and small sofa, TV, satellite - shower had great pressure, private bathroom, bed was large and comfy. On the whole, we stayed in apartments for most of our trip as we like to cook and 75% of the apartments were just subpar. Zagreb was our last night as we were catching the Flixbus the next day. I thought I'd book us into this hostel to save a bit of money. Our stay was so much more pleasant and comfortable than at quite a few of the apartments we stayed at. Well done! We will be back for longer next time!

    It was one of the best hostels I've ever stayed in. It's a clean hostel where you can stay safely. It's within walking distance of all the tourist attractions in the city center. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Iresha helped us with every problem, she's very patient and does her job very well. I've stayed in a hostel many times before. But I can say that this hostel is the best. Thank you very much.
