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.

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!

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.

Pleasantly surprised upon our arrival, especially considering the grimy doors we had entered on the ground floor! Definitely a hostel, but had unexpected amenities like biscuits in our room and complimentary shampoo. Came across a couple of termites in our room, but what’re you gonna do? It’s an old building. We had a family suite with a private bathroom, which was bright and clean. The girl at the desk was very friendly and helpful. Mattresses are quite tired (could feel the bed frame underneath throughout the night), but this was a great fit for our family for a quick overnight in Zagreb.

It's okay but...

The good: The room is big and clean. The bed is comfortable.The staff were ok. The cleaning lady is good. There is soap dish and shower caddy. That's really a big plus! The bad: The bathroom stinks! It looks clean but it stinks so bad. Also, the toilet is not very convenient to use. It is very small and you have to squeeze your way in and out just to close and open the door. Really bad engineering. One time I took a shower before someone else and I had to endure cold water just to finish showering. The shower curtain smells like pee especially when it gets wet. It's really gross. It smells like cigarette smoke in the hallway sometimes, from another guest room, and from the front door when staff smokes outside but leaves the door open. 😷 Wifi only works in the lobby which is a bit inconvenient when you want to go online before going to bed. The lobby is ok except for the smell of smoke.

Clean and spacious room, friendly staff

Convenient location, 5 mins walk to the main square and easily accessible from the bus terminal, you can just take tram No.6 and walk 5 mins. The room is spacious, clean and comfortable, even there are 3 bunk beds, but still you have your own space. The reception staff are very friendly and informative, the lady helped me to find information to go to the Plitviice Lakes, and even helped me to book the bus ticket online, so I can go to the Lake on the 1st day of New Year. Great appreciation for her help.

Within walking distance of the main train station and the olt town, this hostel was perfect for what i was searching for. I had a private room. The shared bathrooms were clean. I would stay again. Note, its entrance is on a side door. That you will need to get buzzed in. Just find the dots button to ring for a buzz.

Goede centrale locatie, prima voorzieningen

Fijne, grote kamer, goede bedden, eigen douche en wc. Met de hoge temperaturen had een airconditioning lekker geweest, al was het met de ventilator, dichthouden vd luiken overdag en het openen van de ramen na zonsondergang te doen. Goede locatie, parkeerplaats dichtbij te vinden al was die duurder dan men bij het hostel dacht.

The Dots Hostel was perfect for us. A family of 5 we used the family room with private bathroom. Everything was spotless, beds were comfortable, place was quiet. There are lockable cabinets for each bed to secure your belongings. Nice common area and fantastic location. My kids liked it better than the hotel we used to stay at.
