Overall, I found the hotel to be a bit of a mixed bag. While the location was convenient, being close to the bus station and city center, the room setup with support beams was uncomfortable and potentially hazardous. The service was a hit or miss with friendly and helpful staff but outdated decor. Dining offered a decent variety of options, and the facilities were satisfactory.

I had a comfortable stay at the hotel with a small issue related to the WIFI connection due to the position of my bed. The rooms, although on the small side, were luminous and well-equipped. However, my room was missing some basic bathroom accessories. The service was accommodating, and the staff made me feel welcomed.

The hotel is a gem, with rooms that are the most modern thing I have ever seen, clean, comfortable, and spacious, making for a quiet stay. The service is provided by special elderly, good-hearted Croatian gentlemen who are extremely helpful and nice. The location is superb, just a stone's throw away from the train station and the city center. The dining options are varied and very tasty. However, the room is a bit small, and the service can be unfriendly at times.

My stay at the hotel was a bit mixed. While the room I got was smaller than others, overall it felt like a lower-class arrangement with the dividing door that made it look like a prison. I wouldn't recommend it to those used to 3+ star hotels. On the bright side, the room was quite spacious and had all the necessary amenities typical in Europe.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. Although I was given a triple room instead of the superior queen I had reserved, the room turned out to be very small and lacked basic bathroom accessories. On top of that, the empty room bar was a letdown, contributing to a disappointing stay. However, the location was perfect for exploring Zagreb, being centrally located near the main train station and within walking distance of the city center. Despite the noise, the hotel's proximity to key attractions was a plus.
