Guest Ratings & Reviews
I had a lovely stay at this hotel, which boasted beautiful rooms and amazing service. The location was peaceful and surrounded by greenery, making it a nice getaway from the city bustle. The dining experience was decent, but I wish the breakfast had a wider variety. While some facilities were great, there were a couple of minor maintenance issues that held it back from being perfect.
I had a fantastic stay at this hotel! The location is wonderfully peaceful and close to the city center, making it easy to explore. The room was beautiful and came with a lovely terrace where I enjoyed a complimentary glass of wine upon arrival. The service was friendly, but sometimes a bit slow. The breakfast, while good, could use a bit more variety. Overall, it's great value for money with gorgeous rooms and a serene atmosphere.
I really enjoyed my stay at the hotel, which felt like a peaceful treehouse tucked away in lush greenery, making it feel like I was in the forest rather than a bustling capital city. The rooms were beautifully furnished and very clean, creating a comfortable atmosphere. The location was perfect for exploring Zagreb, being just a short walk from great restaurants and the lively Britanski trg market. On the downside, the dining options could stand to be improved, and while the staff was helpful, some areas could be more accessible for older guests due to the walking involved.
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel, which is nestled on a hill just outside the center of Zagreb. The room was spacious and even had a lovely terrace, perfect for enjoying the complimentary glass of wine upon arrival. The service was above average, with really friendly staff who went out of their way to help us. The location was nice but a bit away from the bustling downtown area, which requires a bit of a walk downhill. Overall, it was a great experience with good value for money, despite the minor drawbacks of being uphill and needing to navigate some stairs.
I really enjoyed my stay at this hotel. The rooms were spacious and very nicely decorated, and I loved having access to a small garden right outside. The staff was incredibly friendly and went above and beyond to make my birthday special. However, the location is a bit of a workout being uphill, which isn't ideal if you're planning to explore a lot. Overall, I felt it offered good value for money.

I had a pleasant stay at the hotel, which was in a great location close to downtown, making it easy to explore the sights and enjoy some lovely cafes.
