Reviews from visitors:
Very friendly and polite people work there! The rooms are shared but the beds are comfy and after a day of driving around Europe I slept like a little baby! Would definitely go back there if I ever visit Zagreb again!
I liked it. Surprisingly they arranges social and cultural gatherings with food
Edit: stayed there in January 2020
In short : In 8 hours, too many failures from different volunteers, which leads us to think about a rather very very bad management behind it.
We had booked 4 nights, but we stayed only one.
I've never given a one star, I hope it's the first and last one.
In long :
At our arrival, we were welcomed by a volunteer who has not been able to check us in for a whole hour. He explained us that he had just begun working there and apparently he had not been given a proper training because they were in a rush...
That's ok, I guess it happens in hostels.
We left our laundry with specific consigns to the volunteers to not put some items in the dryer. Apparently some shifts happened in the team, some bad communication and .... we got two jumpers ruined.
It's really annoying but that's still ok, I guess it happens in hostels.
We were enjoying chilling in the common room with some other people when some volunteer did something wrong with one customer (I can't remember what) and we suddenly heard someone (like her manager or superior) yelling at her about her wrongdoings, in front of everyone. For like 10 minutes.
I don't really know if it's ok, we were a bit shocked
One of my friend went back to our room to nap and one of the bunk bed we were given broke itself : My friend was napping in the upper bed and 3 slats broke. Fortunately, she was ok. Buuut... What if my other friend who had the lower bed had been in his bed at this moment ? This could have been a whole different story. The look of the broken bed was really bad with sharp wooden pieces spiking the lower bed.
We exposed the problem to the staff and they acted a bit akward. Apparently, they kind of knew the bed was near breaking and were not supposed to give it to anyone (the volunteer who gave us our bed seemed unaware of this.).
As an apologize, they very kindly offered us... 3 free rhum cokes at their bar. We were speechless.
It's hard for us to blame the volunteers, since it seems very clear that it was rather a very bad management behind the whole thing.
A better managing, a better training of the volunteers (maybe better work conditions?) and some better safety protocole concerning broken stuff seems highly needed in this place.
I have stayed in dozen of hostels around the world and I had never seen something like this.
This service is good. I am satisfied
This hostel has been one of the best travels experiences I've ever had: best people, environment, parties are insane, secure and great location. I'll recommend this place always to anyone visiting Zagreb. Thanks forever for the experience guys!!!
