The location is near a freight train hub, but it didn't bother us. The room was spacious and quite clean. The hotel owners cut corners on the decor: the walls in the hallway and parts of the room, as well as the ceilings, are bare concrete, not even plastered. Now they call it an 'original style' (chuckles). It's inconvenient that the sink is in the room, not in the bathroom. The room has bathrobes and slippers, but no disposable toothbrushes. There's a small electric kettle and a capsule coffee machine, but not even a single bottle of drinking water... Unexpected for a hotel that isn't exactly cheap. When booking, it wasn't mentioned anywhere that the hotel's underground parking costs 12 euros per night, which was also a surprise. Breakfasts are quite substantial, but there wasn't even simple oatmeal... The available food isn't very suitable for someone with gastritis...
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.
This was my second stay, and I really appreciate the hotel's design aesthetic, from the lobby and meeting rooms to the guest rooms themselves. It's perfect for both leisure and business travelers, easily one of the best hotels in Zagreb.
Five-star review (Canopy by Hilton Zagreb City Centre)
My top choice for accommodation in Zagreb! This Canopy by Hilton boasts an excellent location, stylish design, and attentive service, making it perfect for both leisure and business trips. Highly recommend!
✨ Super convenient location
Right in the heart of Zagreb, with shops, restaurants, and tram stops just outside. Within walking distance to the Cathedral, National Theatre, and the Upper Town historical district. The hotel also offers complimentary bicycles, making it super easy to explore the old town.
🛏️ Exquisite and comfortable rooms
The guest rooms are modern, minimalist, and tastefully decorated, incorporating local Croatian textiles and design elements. The bedding is soft and comfortable, and the floor-to-ceiling windows provide excellent natural light. The smart amenities are user-friendly (free high-speed Wi-Fi, smart TV, premium toiletries), with attention to every detail.
🙂 Warm and thoughtful service
The 24-hour front desk staff are professional and friendly. Upon check-in, they provide a local welcome gift and introduce nearby attractions. The concierge is enthusiastic and helpful with itinerary planning and restaurant reservations – truly warm service.
🍽️ Breakfast and dining
The breakfast is fresh, abundant, and high-quality, offering both local specialties and international options. The restaurant has an elegant ambiance, featuring fresh local ingredients and authentic flavors.
In summary: A prime location, exquisite design, thoughtful service, and a premium experience. This is undoubtedly the best choice for high-quality accommodation in Zagreb. I'll definitely stay here again on my next visit!
I was very satisfied with the room; I always tend to trust branded hotels. There's a fairly large supermarket nearby, which was convenient for shopping. It's also very close to the bus terminal, so I didn't have to drag my luggage far to catch a ride. When checking out, there was a heavy wind and rain, but the hotel staff kindly and quickly helped me get a taxi.
I was informed by email in advance that there was a large event at the bar downstairs that day, but I didn't think it was so noisy. Rather than sound, the deep bass sound is very loud, and earplugs and noise canceling are really meaningless. I have cancer from 12:00 to 3:30 in the middle of the night. It was really painful. If you receive an email saying that there is a large event, cancellation is free, so we recommend cancellation.
In need of refurbishment from a cosmetic perspective, as the carpet in my hotel room was worn and tired. No body wash and had to ring housekeeping for refill… perhaps this should be checked regularly with cleaning. Cannot fault the care demonstrated towards guests and breakfast quality. A grand old lady of Zagreb that will always draw me to her. Fantastic location. Highly recommended.
Beautiful hotel, clean, rooms are cozy, loby, elevators and hallways smell really nice. Breakfast was really nice, various tipes of fresh bread, veggies, fruits, meats and cheeses.
Parking has own garage but i parked on public street parking, there was some place and it is cheaper option.
Has huge pool with warm water.
Hotels outside Budapest, consider a hotel on the way back to the city for convenient parking. The room is acceptable and the service is average. Dinner in the hotel restaurant, not too expensive, the product is also decent, nodding the head but on the table, said to be free, but there is an inexplicable charge on the final bill, it is estimated that it is a disguised header charge.
Hotel Madison in Zagreb is a great place! The hotel is very clean, and the staff is very kind, thank you Igor, very welcoming, and very helpful. I highly recommend this hotel for a pleasant stay in Zagreb.
I highly recommend
