to get started.

There was a free family dinner the night we stayed. The staff was really nice. The hostel had a cool set up and layout that lent to meeting people.

I loved this hostel and would have extended my stay if I could have. The staff are really nice, and hang out with hostel guests in the common room when not working. The common room is the perfect place to meet chill travelers as they cook meals together in the full shared kitchen. This part is nothing fancy, think chill dorm vibes, but if you want to get a bit more upscale, the bar and restaurant on property for the bill. (Great prices there too.) This is the friendliest hostel I’ve stayed in. Can’t recommend it enough for young travelers looking for kindred spirits.

Very good location. Pool was nice on a hot day. Kitchen space was also very good. For such a busy hostel they kept it fairly clean.

Mary

Great location. This place definitely worth money that they charge. This hustle is more for younger people . My expectations were that I gonna get one bedroom apartment es it was advertising, instead we had one small room divided with half wall in the meddle of the room 😕

I stayed here with my husband and 7 yo son, we had a studio room - my husband thought it was like a shed, I thought it was cool and funky. The beds were comfy, it was surprisingly quiet at night, the pool was ace, the bar and general atmosphere was very cool (the Pinky Gin cocktail was awesome), they offer a free walking tour everyday at 11am which was good. Really made our stay in Zagreb memorable.

The hostel is one of the best ever I stayed. The team of Swanky Mint Hostel are very helpful and friendly. They have the bar and the open terrace which is amazing, with reasonable rates for the drinks. Also walking distance to everything. Check-in can be crowded as there are many people coming in but they handle it with best if their efforts. Thanks Sol and Joe for everything.

“Nice and social hostel but terrible room!”
- • Leisure trip
- • Solo traveler
- • Stayed 2 nights
- • Submitted from a mobile device
Unfortunately with a few of the facilities closed most of my review will be based on the room. I stayed in the Kraftraum room (to the left of reception) quite a small room with the triple bunks. The ventilation in this room is non existent, and the room with sometimes 9 people the smell was unbearable. The only window in the room opens onto the bars terrace where people are smoking and yelling all night. When the windows were open the room resembled a nightclub and smelt like an ashtray. After the music quiets down around 2, the breakfast staff have the music back on from early. The staff at the hostel are nice and helpful, however they knew of the ventilation issues but were still booking the room and offering earplugs to counter the noise. It would go close to the worst hostel I’ve stayed in for nights rest, maybe the other rooms are nice but avoid Kraftraum at all costs.
Social hostel located in the middle of town, although it was close the idea of a Private pool and nice bar at the hostel is nearly one of a kind.

The sleeping rooms are fine, but if you have a bad back or are sensitive to beds moving, the bunk beds can be a bit wobbly and have thin mattresses. This didn’t bother me, but is worth knowing.

Those humiliating wrist bands that many hostels make you wear. I had the room next to the courtyard area which was noisy at night with people hanging around chatting. It isa supposed to be a quiet area - but it wasn't.
Check in was easy and quick, the girl at reception was nice. The bar and seating facilities are good. Pool is a nice bonus.Pretty good location in the city, right next to a tram stop too.
