78%Hostel Lika

very friendly staff and charakter of hostel but it could be a little bit much cleaner - there was strange smell in the room... but actually we hadn't spend so much time in hostel because of really good night life in Zagreb

This was a good stop off point that was easy to find. There was no trouble to get into and out of the city and even if the trams had stopped you can walk back to the hostel.

Room was dirty, showers was collective and dirty, no possibility to close the toilet door, common room closed very early which means it is impossible to go on Internet....

This place is just a 5 minute walk from the main bus station (very handy) and is staffed by fellow travellers - which is really cool. SUPER clean and lockers in your room. Only bad thing is that beds in the dorms squeek like CRAZY. Oh and if you want your free stuff make sure you ask!

Average hostel. Rooms were very cramped and a little bit on the dirty side. The bathrooms were nice and big. There is a good outdoor area to sit and drink. Security - poor... only one key per room. Location - poor.

I had to take a airport bus at 5 am. so the location was not bad for me. But I hope they're gonna change their shower curtains.

Only stayed one night but got the impression that, though the staff were cool and helpful, it was not run by the actual owners, so really just a place to crash, not hang out or be social.

the staff we're very friendly and helpful, but the hostel was let down by very poor cleanliness, we all woke up full of bites from bed bugs, and had to get our sleeping bags and clothes dry cleaned as they were infested to from the one nights stay at this hostel

Despite getting completely lost trying to find this place (get off the tram before the big motorway intersection, not after), this place was fantastic and had a great time here, lots of fun, easy to meet people and the staff are fantastic. recomended

Nice clean rooms and showers, friendly staff, but hostel was quite far out of town - a tram ride away, common room was a bit shabby, there was no kitchen, and there were a lot of rules, like could only drink drinks bought from hostel reception.

the staff that manages the hostel insisted to receive kuna (but not euro) and to me this seems to be a bit unsympathetic and this fact should have been communicated on its homepage.

Very quiet (in terms of traffic noise), considering how close it is to town. Can't really comment on anything else as I was only there for a few hours and spent most of it asleep!

Pretty good hostel but a fair way from the actiin although easy acess to the center on the tram. The girl working there was a power monger and threw some guys out because they wanted to take their beers outside.

Lovely hostel with only a short regular tram ride to the centre. In a pleasant and safe community with a supermarket and other small shops within a short walk. Could do with some mirrors in the rooms though (or somewhere other than just the bathrooms).

My visit was a one night flying visit. It was a good way from the train station, but close to the bus station. Noise restrictions after 10 can be an inconvenience. If it is a hot day the small rooms are extra hot.

Didnt like the signs everywhere about checking out and being out of the way during cleaning but the staff turned out to be really relaxed about it all. Not really anywhere to sit and read after half ten if you want a quiet night in. Otherwise great place and had the chance to meet folk and head...

Would not recommend during summer since my room was really hot and without even a fan. Had just one bright light in the room so when I got back late in the night, had to fiddle around in the darkness since the others were sleeping.close

The staff were rude and didnt tell me anything about what was going on, just to follow. The place I got put in was acceptable but the hostel is nicer. If I was you Id just turn up and go with a local offering cheap private rooms at the station. I have given this hostel an average review as I didnt stay.close

Hostel was ok although 6 bed dorm was cramped and hot. They close the common room and outdoor area at 10pm as well which must be to do lwith zoning or something but it means you're either forced to go out or go to bed at 10. Pretty average.
