Pet-friendly Hotels in Zagreb County, Croatia

One Rude Staff Member Ruined an Otherwise Decent Stay I stayed at Esplanade Zagreb Hotel with high expectations given its historic prestige, but one employee’s unprofessional behavior significantly tarnished my experience. Upon arrival, I mistakenly entered the hotel’s parking area as the parking gate opened. After realizing the error, I proceeded to the lobby, completed check-in, and moved my car to the designated drop-off zone for valet service. At this point, a parking attendant aggressively confronted me—hands on hips, speaking in a condescending tone, and demanding how I’d accessed the area. His demeanor was more suited to scolding a trespasser than addressing a paying guest. To be fair, the front desk and concierge staff were perfectly polite and efficient. Had I not encountered this particular employee, my overall impression would have been positive. But for a hotel branding itself as a luxury establishment, even one hostile interaction is unacceptable. A guest’s entire perception can be undone by a single moment of poor service. The incident casts doubt on the hotel’s training standards. Why does such a disparity in staff attitudes exist? I hope management addresses this, as no amount of century-old tradition excuses rudeness. Until then, I’d hesitate to return or recommend Esplanade Zagreb without caution.

Frrom the check-in progress to check-out everything was easy and good. Both room and it's bathroom was super clean, amentities are great, the staff was very welcoming and friendly. Location was also great since it is really located in the center.

I have stayed twice now and a little disappointed that the last visit I was in the older area of the hotel. Room was smaller and could go with an update. Was in a great location.

Location is good for a 15 mins walk to old town, or tram if you do not prefer to walk. Walking distance to the coach station where it connect to airport which cost Euro 4/pax, you can also choose to take a tram than change to bus direct to airport that cost less than 1 Euro. Convenient store is just next block open until 10pm. Overall GOOD.

Nice and clean hotel with excellent service. Front desk was very helpful and recommended good eating places and helped take care of the car. Parking was very convenient just out in front of the hotel.

The hote is an excellent location in central Zagreb. The rooms facing the street are really large and quite nice. There is a nice roof-top patio with views of some of the sites of the city. The breakfast was excellent. I appreciate that the staff were polite, responsive, and helpful. I would stay there again.

This is a reputable hotel, and the environment, service, and quality are all guaranteed. After checking in, we entered our room and were immediately hit with a faint smell of cigarette smoke. We complained, and the front desk promptly switched us to a fresh-smelling room. This reminded us that in the future, when booking, we must specify a non-smoking room. The hotel breakfast was delicious, varied, and beautifully presented. The gym equipment was excellent. It's also quite close to important uptown attractions, reachable within a 15-minute walk. The hotel is worth the price. I enjoyed the stay very much.

Останавливались на ночь. Хороший Вариант для ”переночевать”.Самый большой плюс в такую жару - кондиционер ! Если останавливаться на длительное время- не вариант . Нету холодильника, чайника и водички в бутылках( не предоставляют)

Nicest hotel suite i have ever seen. The sheets and the room were clean, had additional blankets in the closet. Big bright bathroom. Has a nice tv inside. Bed was comfortable. Really private area

The lobby is gorgeous, and the breakfasts were sumptuous and plentiful. The service at the front desk was excellent. We also had the chance to visit the salon this time, and it was very good. The rooms we stayed in could use an update, but the value for money is perfectly acceptable.
