I had a pleasant stay at this hotel. The rooms were very comfortable and always clean, but I did notice they were a bit on the smaller side with no compensation for that. The service was extremely helpful, and the staff was friendly and kind. The location was ideal for visiting the city center, although there was no value for money in terms of storages. While the dining experience was diverse and outstanding, it was considered a bit pricey by some. Overall, a decent choice for a stay in Zagreb.

The hotel still maintains its classic charm but needs some updating, with rooms showing signs of wear and minimal amenities.

The hotel has a rich history, from the marble lobby to the dark wood rooms. The rooms are spacious, offering a king-size bed and a seating area with a sofa bed. The service was somewhat lacking, with rude receptionists but the location is convenient, situated between Paris and Istanbul. The dining experience fell short, as we were redirected and left without food, but the hotel stands next to the train station.

My stay at the hotel was just perfect. The room, a corner junior suite with plenty of light and overlooking the park, was beautiful and stylish with incredible smart technology, although it was not cleaned after the previous guest. The service was extremely accommodating and helpful, especially when they scheduled a last-minute hair appointment for me. The location is quite strategic in the city center, just a 5-minute walk to the shopping centers and the arts center building, although it put me in an awful situation. The dining experience at Zinfandel's restaurant was simply pure magic, with ample, delicious food. Overall, a delightful stay with a few inconveniences.

I had such a wonderful stay at this hotel! The rooms were beautiful and clean, with plenty of towels and amazing bathrobes. They were facing the interior yard, ensuring a peaceful and quiet atmosphere. The service was exceptional, with a friendly and welcoming staff who were always ready to help with old-world manners and attention to detail. The location was superb for my interests, being only a few minutes' walk to Ban Jelacic and within walking distance of many beautiful and historical sights in Zagreb. The dining experience was fantastic, offering a variety of delicious options, and the facilities were top-notch. However, the only downside was the confusion caused by poor handling and lack of communication at times.

My stay at the hotel was a great experience overall. The rooms were nice and spacious, with a decent size bathroom and separate shower complete with fancy L'occitane bath products, but I found the top floor room small and uncomfortable. The service was fantastic, with welcoming and friendly staff, though I wish there was a dedicated area to relax and enjoy a drink after a day of sightseeing. The location was ideal for exploring the beautiful and historical sights of Zagreb, especially during the winter season. The dining experience had its flaws, like unpreparedness during peak times, but the cured meats were a standout. Facilities were good, with various amenities available for convenience.
