Good location but disappointing facilities and bedroom.
Pros:

Great location in the old town near the river. Breakfast was tasty and cooked well with some nice options. Staff were friendly. Air conditioning and shower worked well during our stay.

Cons:

The bedroom was musty and not well cleaned, including some rubbish left from previous guests. The furniture was shabby and stained, some bathroom tiles were cracked and some of our towels had large holes in them. There was a lot of noise from the street until about 2.30am each night. The glass door to the bathroom was annoying.

Pros:

The location is fantastic! It is about a 5-7min walk to the funicular to the castle, a minute walk to the riverside and 3min walk to the Dragon bridge and the church.
The staff were really friendly and helpful. The beds were comfortable and the aircon was a blessing (we were visiting during the countty's third heatwave).

Cons:

The hotel is in a pedestrian zone so you can't get the taxi to the hotel and need to walk in. But that's a minor downside that isn't an issue with the hotel itself.

Very disappointing sadly
Pros:

The location was great. Breakfast was nice. Massage was excellent

Cons:

Really disappointed by the room, which felt like a broom cupboard hastily turned into a bedroom. Tiny bathroom which flooded and you could barely turn around in and we are slim. Rubbish pillows. Bedside light that could only be turned off by getting out of bed. Towels not changed despite being used on floor for mopping up the shower flood. Dated and grubby looking carpet. The staff in the restaurant were not friendly and seemed inconvenienced by you asking for service. It did not feel like you were welcome to hang out there during the day for a drink. The only good thing about the hotel was the massage, and the reception staff were nice. The breakfast was good but we had to wait ages to get service and items we ordered did not appear.

Not good value for money. We’ve arrived in Zagreb, staying in a much cheaper hotel which is heads and shoulders above this one.

Toplocatie en originele hedendaagse inrichting in een historisch pand
Pros:

De locatie en de inrichting van de kamer. Het kleine zwembadje was leuk om verfrissing te zoeken.
Er was een probleem met het laken dat onmiddellijk werd opgelost.

Cons:

Er was een vervelende geur die uit het putje van de douche kwam. Was niet zeer aangenaam.
