Cheap Hotels and Hostels in Zagreb, Croatia

There is an "official" youth hostel in Zagreb that has recently been renovated after years of neglect. You can also stay at one of an increasing number of privately-run hostels or private accommodation listed below.

Even if you haven't stayed in a hostel before, know that in Zagreb the hostels have better locations than nearly all except the most luxurious Zagreb hotels. Zagreb's Upper Town is famous for its nightlife and there are no hotels up there, so for nightcrawlers a Zagreb hostel or private room or apartment are the only possibilities.

(See more on where to stay in Zagreb).

Prices are very cheap, particularly in comparison to Zagreb hotel prices and some hostels also have a few doubles to rent.

It's imperative to reserve in advance as the demand for cheap accommodation in Zagreb far outstrips the supply.
