Top Zagreb Hotel Reviews

Best Western Premier Hotel Astoria

Best Western Premier Hotel Astoria

8/10 Good
"This is my 4th or 5th stay in this hotel. I love it as it is really comfortable, clean and perfectly positioned to the train and bus stations, lower town and a beautiful upper town. I did request a twin room this time as travelling with my sister but the beds were joined into double bed and we had a double size sheet binding the beds together so we couldn't really separate them. The hotel serves really good breakfast and there was a really friendly young waiter ( I think his name was Luka ) compliments to him as he was really helpful and smiling at all times. However I did find that some Swedish tourists were quite rude and pushy during the breakfast. Still, I would happily stay here again as it is my favourite hotel in Zagreb."
