Hidden away down a passageway is Swanky Mint Hostel. This was a pretty cool hostel with exceptionally friendly staff. The location of the hostel is excellent right in the centre of Zagreb. Its walking distance to a lot of sites. The dorm rooms were nice and did their job. Beds were comfortable but the curtains on the lower beds could do with some repairs as noticed they were not quite hung up correctly. There was AC in the room however noticed that it was above one particular bed so if that person closed their curtains it would be harder for the AC to cool the room. There was big lockers for each bed that requires a padlock. The shared showers and toilets were ok but they probably could have more than one toilet for the number of people staying here. There was a shared kitchen in a basement which was nice. It was the shared communal space and they also had free tea and coffee here. There is also a rooftop swimming pool on site but I didn't see anyone use this. They give you a free drink voucher when you check in which you can use for the bar upstairs. There is an Asian fusion restaurant on site and also a bar called Swanky Monkey. Both were good and worth a visit Staff were very nice here and were happy to help.

Firstly, I have never considered staying in hostel accommodation, this was my first experience, and I wish I had considered it before! I made a last minute journey on a tight schedule and budget, so was desperate to arrange a bed for a few hours sleep, and a shower etc. A few days before, I emailed swanky hostel, to arrange. The contact was friendly, efficient and very welcoming. THEY EVEN BENT THE RULES A BIT..thankyou. Anyway I only stayed 12hours, but it was exactly what I needed, and I would recommend to anyone...'if you are not sure, just give it a go' The hostel was easy to find (I came from main bus terminal, jumped on a tram and arrived in no time). Each staff member was so friendly and efficient, really great. I stayed in 8 bed dorm (everyone asleep behind curtains when I arrived, and up and away before I woke). The showers/toilet were adequate. I only used the small communal kitchen, for boiling water as I was in such a rush, but there were always people there on each occasion and they looked to be enjoying themselves...there was a free coffee machine also, which I'm sure is welcome (I had my own anyway so didn't use it). Each guest I encountered was either keeping themselves to themselves, or friendly greetings/chat. On a side note, I only had time to rush round zagreb taking photos for a couple hours, before leaving, but the city looks great and can't wait to visit again soon (without rushing for football)...and see some of the earthquake repairs completed etc. Loved my 2days in croatia, and will definitely return with family. Thank you Split,Zagreb, and SWANKY MINT HOSTEL.
