Wonderful customer service from the whole team. Breakfast was delicious. Loved that our room was cleaned up daily. We loved it so much that on our way back home to NYC, we have a two day break, so we decided to book a room at Hotel Central.

Wonderful Stay

Very clean and comfortable. Easy walk to the main square and Zagrebs sites. Parking is literally across the street in front of the hotel if you need it. The breakfast buffet is amazing! Only drawback is the wifi isn’t good. Other than that, excellent hotel!

This is the perfect place to stay for easy access to the train station. It’s about a 20 minute walk though to the old town. The staff were helpful when needed and the room was clean and inviting.

Hotel is dated but the location makes up for this. It is directly across from the train station so if you have an early train departure, it works perfectly - especially with breakfast included. There is some noise from the trains in the evening but it didnt impact sleeping. Updating things like blow dryers would go a long way.

We would have given a higher rating if not for the noise. It is close to a train track. If you are not sensitive to noise then this hotel will work for you. It has its advantages like the buffet breakfast which is really great with a lot of selections. This hotel is also centrally located so transportation will not be a problem.
