Hostel was small and more of a giant apartment. The showers flooded each time we used them. Hostel wasn't the nicest and for the same price we stayed in a private apartment. Was a very good location, near the city center and had a community tv and internet.

It was a very pleasant staying in Buzz, an extraordinary ocasion to meet a japanese guy and feel a little bit of their home atmosphere. I will recomend this place for visiting and spending some nights there. Pozdrav, Marko (Podgorica)

Well located, good staff but the cleanliness is left to desire, particularly the bathroom. But for a short stay, it's ok.

The room we stayed in was really roomy and the beds were clean and comfortable. There was a common lounge room with a TV and free internet which was cosy. HOWEVER, the kitchen and bathrooms were absolutely filthy. I actually felt dirtier AFTER my shower. Gross.

A very clean hostel and the bathrooms were really nice. Very small though so not very good if you want to meet new people.

The young man at the front desk could not be any English or Croatian, which made things a little difficult.

The place is dirty (the beds are dirty, the bathrooms are super dirty), the people that manage the place are dirty. I think its the worst hostel I've ever been.... If you work in the hostel, you don't brush your teeth in front of the clients, and wash your mouth on the kitchen sink.

Staff didn´t tell us anything about the facilities and what we could and couldn´t use in the kitchen and the showers and toilets were disgraceful. Very dirty and one had the washing machine run off feeding into the bottom of the shower so your feet got covered in dirty water when you were trying to shower. Not very impressed.close

Está bastante sucio, especialmente los baños (WC). No nos gustó. La cocina era pequeña y todo muy guarro. Lo único bueno que tiene es que está a 5 minutos del centro de Zagreb.

This Hostel was awful-mice droppings in the room, filthy bedsheets covered in make-up and god-knows what else. Pretty good location but would not recommend a stay here-if you do, make sure you pack a sleeping bag!!!

It seemed to be a nice little cosy hostel, but if you looked closer things were not very much looked after. The toilet and douche were really not very clean and I do not have a high standard. we slept with 10 people in a room. that was too much.

The owner was always there, he steps out for about an hour each day for lunch and groceries. Very friendly and helpful. Gave good recomendations on food. The city doesn't have much to it though.

Such a nice Hostel in Zagreb. The owner of hostel is really nice and helpful. Everything is very organized. The most important thing is just few walk from train station.

nice simple hostel, and sort of TOO SIMPLE. not quite busy, sometimes i felt i booked the whole hostel. if you like pro-active staff, dunt pick this... unless you are a japanese. the staff tend to talk among themselves in their own language (jap.) and it makes ppl feel quite uncomfortable. staff... more nice simple hostel, and sort of TOO SIMPLE. not quite busy, sometimes i felt i booked the whole hostel. if you like pro-active staff, dunt pick this... unless you are a japanese. the staff tend to talk among themselves in their own language (jap.) and it makes ppl feel quite uncomfortable. staff was quite unfriendly in a way that they stated a charge for EVERYTHING (well, except internet).close

The Hostel is ok. It's near the centre, but there is no sign outside to find it easy. The beds and toilets and the common room are nice but not very clean. But the guy at the reception is very friendly and helped us when we had some questions or problems.

I had a good night sleep as no drunk people coming back to the room in the early morning and wake me up like the other hostels I had stayed in previously. Staff helpful if you have any enquireis but not too personal. I highly recommend this hostel if you want a good rest and get ready for next day.

Not how we expected a shared bathroom (not across a hallway with another room, but shared with the entire floor and and across the building), but it did the job. Staff is great and friendly and its a clean and quiet place to rest your head!

Not impressed... Bugs in my bed, a very squeaky floor in the dorm room, light switches which were difficult to find, not very clean bathrooms. The really worst part was the bugs in the bed - they bite.
