Amazing hotel very kind and friendly staff the room was very clean the hotel is in a great location and has a great selection of restaurants and the breakfast was excellent
Excellent location to walk to lower town, the square and upper old town. Beautiful rooms, superior service and ease of concierge service.Puno hvala! Zivali.
Beautiful hotel.Stafff were nice and helpful.A friend recommended the hotel to us so Iwill highly recommend to our friends . I will stay again in the future. Walking distance to the train station.
The room was spacious and very comfortable. Loved the L’Occitane toiletries and daily housekeeping. The breakfast buffet and staff was outstanding. Absolutely loved our stay and would return in a heartbeat!
Place was a classic and I liked the room and location. The elevator was broken on our visit and the concierge wasn’t readily available.
Would still recommend a stay there
Doesn’t get better than this. The rooms made you feel like you never wanted to leave. Except that the lobby restaurant and bar kept calling your name. Location is walkable to all the major sights in Zagreb and public transportation is the best. This is a truly 5 star hotel and the staff and accommodations are all up to standards.
Take an extra day to get joy the spa and other amenities the hotel offers.
Beautiful grand hotel with large spacious rooms. Within close walking distance to the city centre where the restaurants are. Highly recommend this place.
Our stay was nothing short of extraordinary. The hotel is housed in a truly beautiful, historic building that immediately sets a luxurious tone the moment you step into the grand lobby. Its prime location made exploring the city effortless, with major sights and top dining just a short walk away.
What truly elevated our experience, though, was the exceptional service. Our room was immaculately tidy, stylishly appointed, and offered a wonderful retreat after a long day of sightseeing. To top it off, the complimentary bottle of wine left in our room was a lovely, high-quality touch that we thoroughly enjoyed.
If you are looking for five-star luxury paired with unmatched hospitality and the perfect location, this is the place to stay.
The hotel was gorgeous and conveniently located. The staff were very helpful, especially Mia at the concierge desk who helped us plan our walk around the city. Lovely stay!
We had a delightful stay at Hotel Esplanade Zagreb. The staff were exceptionally helpful. Food was excellent and food service first class. We enjoyed our room and the whole ambience and history made our stay special.
This is a consummately elegant, historic hotel impeccably maintained and finished. Linens and toiletries are luxe. Furniture is traditional but plush. Every carpet, every bit of grout, and every table surface is clean. Breakfast was similarly elegant and worth the cost. Gym very well equipped. Location nearly perfect for sightseeing and quiet rest. My only criticism is that customer service was not high-touch, which seasoned travelers now expect from 5-star hotels. Registration was lined up upon arrival, with no one coming over to help two strapped agents. Multiple doormen stood at front with no one opening a door, greeting guests or offering directions.
