Just a hostel

A party hostel. It's your scene or it's not. But I should have read the reviews better and I wouldn't have gone there. Not super clean, but not dirty dirty either. Just very average hostel. Fine for young people

The Hostel is surprisingly really clean, it was my first time in a dormitory hostel so I didn’t know what to expect. The beds and sheets where comfortable and the shared bathrooms were clean, showers pretty spacious too! But the deal breaker is the staff, simply super friendly, available to help you in your issues, and the fact that they have these organized events to have fun with other people while roaming around pubs is what makes it also the perfect place to stay for a solo trip.

15 minute walk from the main square in Zagreb. Activities every day, so it is easy to meet people. I lucked out in staying in a quiet dorm, so while the hostel itself was active and social, I was still able to get good nights' sleep during my stay. AC available in the dorms, which I think is key during summer. Shared toilets and showers on every floor. I would also like to suggest Mama Veek's kitchen, about a minute walk from this hostel, which serves Nigerian food and is based purely on donation (no charge otherwise!!) I asked the lady why she does this and she replied that she wants to provide food to those who may not be able to afford it.

The location was convenient. The linens and pillows could have been cleaner. I was on a bottom bunk and the top bunk was so low that I couldn't even sit up in bed, which was pretty inconvenient.
