Centrally located…. great helpful staff. We were meant to arrive from Dubrovnik by a late evening flight that would get into Zagreb beyond the stipulated check in time. The staff offered to stay back and wait for us. Infact they had been tracking our flight and when we learnt that the flight was cancelled due to bad weather and we would not be able to arrive that day they proactively offered to change our booking without charging us. I sincerely appreciated their gesture - so warm and welcoming. The cancellation of the flight was no fault of theirs and this gesture was a very kind and thoughtful one that enhanced our overall experience. Thank you Dots team.

Breakfast of the champions, eggs and sausages( made on the spot),coffee,tea, sweets, everything you need to start a day. All of that for 20 euros and you are located in the city centre,can't beat it. Thank you guys.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

    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.

    The best hostel I’ve ever stayed in, much nicer than many of the budget hotels I’ve stayed in. The staff were so incredibly helpful, especially a young girl with blonde hair working Saturday 17th august day shift. Unfortunately we didn’t catch her name but she honestly made our trip in Zagreb, she gave recommendations and helped us with transport!
