Reviews and Ratings
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 offers spacious and comfortable rooms, although some areas were a bit dirty. The service was exceptional, with a staff that was genuinely friendly and courteous. Its location near prominent tourist sights makes it a must-stop, especially during the winter season. The dining experience was fantastic, albeit a little expensive.
The hotel offers elegant and spacious rooms, which I liked a lot, but unfortunately faced a shabby looking, dirty, and noisy courtyard. The cleanliness was perfect.
The hotel still maintains its classic charm but needs some updating, with rooms showing signs of wear and minimal amenities. The service is top-notch, attentive, and proactive, though some facilities like the spa could use a makeover. The location is ideal for exploring the old city, but the dining experience, while varied, comes at a premium.

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.
