A nice little hostel just 5 minutes from the city centre.
The kitchen area with hot and cold drinks on tap was a nice touch. I had a private double room which was spacious and comfortable.
Very good value for money.

Nice stay in a convenient area to access the old town! Staff were very helpful. We had a private room, which was lovely and quiet (over a weekend). We did not use this, but they also offered complimentary tea, coffee, and light snacks on site.

Great place to stay!
The attention to detail to make your stay as pleasant as possible was evident and appreciated! The bed was very comfortable and the hostel itself was quiet. It was very walkable to upper and lower town as well as to the parks and the train station. We would stay here again!

Nice place and nice staff
Very well located, our room was very clean and comfortable, amenities on the hostel are nice, they offer free tea, coffee and drinks
The lady on the front desk was very nice and friendly, she gave us some recommendations for restaurants.
The hostel entrance is a little scary and not nice at all but once you are inside everything is good

Dots is a clean, well run hostel that is a fifteen minute walk from the bus station and about a fifteen minute walk to Lower Town providing a good base to explore Zagreb. It is also a few blocks to the Advent Zagreb festivals! Make sure to ask for a cappuccino in the morning since it is not self-service.

Great location, Clean and Friendly Hosts
I loved my stay here and the owners were very friendly and helpful. The facilities are super clean and the common space is huge. It’s also two blocks away from the main tourist areas, so this location is so ideal.
Thank you so much for a lovely stay and I will definitely come back again next time I visit Zagreb.

Awesome place for basic accommodation. My room was clean and spacious. The common area is comfortable with amenities. Staff super friendly and speak English. Only thing is the bed was a bit hard (I don’t mind but some might) and the street can be loud on a Friday night in Zagreb. Would stay again!

What a lovely place! A bit to quiet for my taste as guests aren’t interested in meeting, but that could just be todays traveller. Staff is friendly and helpful; rooms are spacious, clean and comfortable.

Do not be fooled by the outside of the property which is awful, Once you enter the building, it is another story. The reception area is cheerful with lots of seating. The kitchen area has free tea and coffee all day, and tables to eat breakfast etc. The bedroom was very clean and the en-suite had a very powerful shower. The staff were very helpful and welcoming.

Great stay in Zagreb
The hostel is well located, near a big park and the staff was very helpful and accommodating.
There is a tiny kitchen and also loads of information about Croatia's sightseeing in different languages.
