The Westin Zagreb
Great bed, sheets and pillows. Endless hot water and really good water pressure. The room is dated and carpeted but clean. Big busy hotel in a nice location in Zagreb. You can walk to everything. We didn’t have breakfast.

Hotel Esplanade Zagreb
Superior room was truly superior. The place is spotless and the amenities are truly fitting for a luxury hotel. But those physical aspects pale in comparison to the incredible staff. They go out of their way to help with EVERYTHING! I can seriously say I’ve never had better service than all aspects ...
