I had a good experience overall at Zagreb Hotel, with excellent breakfast options that included delicious traditional dishes (especially the pancakes!). The rooftop pool offered stunning views, perfect for winding down after sightseeing. However, there were some drawbacks, such as the reception being located on the first floor and the need for a staircase to access it, which was cumbersome with luggage.
