The hotel is located in a quiet little neighborhood next to the major bus station. The staff was incredibly welcoming and friendly, they even gave me an extra sleeping pillow upon request. The room was livable, shower was tiny, and the view looked out into a cute backyard. The breakfast options were phenomenal and often went back for a second portion.

In the central square of Zagreb, the location is excellent, the room is small but breakfast is included, the restaurant has snacks and drinks coffee 24 hours a day, the biggest advantage is that you can store your luggage and use the restaurant after check-out. Because Zagreb all check in after 3 pm and check out before 10 am. The only downside is that it is the city center, Zagreb is still full of people at 3 in the middle of the night, and the hotel has prepared earplugs for guests.
Well airport is in the name and you can hear the engines hit full throttle but i need 'airport' to mean airport. About 18 minutes walk, a 290 bus ride or 10 minutes ripoff taxi. Like all airports, the drivers may as well be criminals, they will not like getting a fare to the royal it being a short journey.
Restaurant is called 'forks' and shares staff with the basement breakfast room. Lots of breakfast choices and a none too unreasonable cappuchino from a machine.
Rooms are fine but without tea and coffee making tools. The bathroom underfloor heating invites a midwinter visit.
Everything was good except for the fact that the only reason we booked the hotel was because of the outdoor pool on the top floor, since it’s the only one of its kind in Zagreb. Nowhere did it say that the pool would be closed when we made the booking.
What compensation did we receive? Access to a pool at another hotel. The problem was that those pools were indoors. After several complaints and calls to Trip.com, we received 15% of the booking fee back. In my opinion, that was not sufficient, but it is what it is. Everything else was fine.

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.

Really enjoyed my stay at The Westin Zagreb. The room was comfy and had everything I needed, plus a nice view of the city. Staff were super helpful and friendly, and the breakfast was tasty with lots of options. The location’s great – easy walk to the main sights. Would definitely stay here again!

This grand lady is a little tired but her location and service is always outstanding. Excellent location and close to public transport. Buffet breakfast is full of variety and caters for all needs. The only thing I can suggest is softer toilet paper and why is the bathroom so dark?

The hotel is very close to the city center, about a minute walk from 5-10, so the attractions are very convenient. The staff is also very good at check in and will introduce nearby attractions. The room is very clean, there is a hot water bottle, slippers, hair dryer, etc., but if you live on the first floor, because the breakfast restaurant is also on the first floor, it will be a bit noisy in the morning.
Hilton is a famous hotel but i met the poor services :
1-I book 3 days hotel on Aug 9-12,2025. But i cancel booking on aug 6-9,2025 due to paper error and your sides has already cancelled on mid May.However, if you have any queries, you can discuss with me on the first day.But the hotel staff find me in the evening on the third day . How can i enough time to find and solve it. It maybe definitely effected my trip at that time.
2-No cleaning lady come to my room cleaning and tidy up at the second and third day.
3-I borrowed the computer adapter from the male reception staff in the evening but he said no. However, i can borrow from the female supervisor on next day.
Why???
This is my unhappy trip

不不摂生な旅人It was a very nice and affordable hotel. It's a little out of the center of Zagreb, but on the contrary, it's quiet and calm. The room was small but functional. There was also a free minibar and water, and it was enough as a service. Next time I come to Zagreb, I want to stay again.

--Nancy-I recently stayed at the Sheraton in Zagreb and found the experience to be quite average. While the staff were friendly, the accommodations were disappointing, especially for a hotel rated 5 stars—it had more of a 3-star look and feel.
The lack of windows made the rooms feel stuffy, and the carpet was noticeably dirty. The bathroom was small, the TV was outdated and small, and not all channels worked. The rooms overall felt old and in need of renovation, which was a stark contrast to the beautifully renovated front desk area downstairs. The bright, modern lobby clashed with the dark, outdated corridors and old rooms, leaving much to be desired.
I had hoped for better given the brand's reputation. While the service was good, the overall accommodations did not live up to the rating or expectations.

LLinaFirst things I like to express my appreciation to Toni at front desk who's very friendly welcoming my first day check in and helping me when I have problem with rental car. He really put his effort making so many calls when the rental car didn't response well, but finally all problem solved. And he sent his regard throe his friend at front desk on my second check in after 7 days traveling to Split and Dubrovnik, his name also Tony and he also very friendly.
Thanks to both of you Toni & Tony ( I hope I didn't wrong spelling your name )
It's highly recommend for all type of traveler, the room is very quite, I can't hear anything from next room or outside, sleep like a baby. I love the spacious shower room and all luxury amenities. If not mistaken I think this is a brand new hotel.
Since i drive a car, for me location is not important, 8 minutes drive to the old town, not too far. I like the neighborhood is so quite.
Breakfast has many menus and tasty too.
Overall is perfect , one thing I don't like is the dimming lights.
If they have a brighter light, I will be so happy.

MManuelGreat place to stay, elegant and well maintained.
I particularly enjoyed the gym and the parking lot attached to the hotel. The daily rate of the parking lot is 15€.
TTimThe room was spacious and the receptionist very friendly.
The bath was very moldy, the beds were quite small and the ac couldn’t be controlled.
For a stay of one night its ok and it was the cheapest option for longer stays I would not recommend it.
CCollectingPassportStampsVery nice hotel with great amenities; a welcome drink, pool, gym, and a spa (extra cost). There was also a rooftop space/bar (didn’t go to see) - the reception staff were very pushy to get people to attend giving a 10% discount for consumption.
The room was very nice and clean, a smart TV welcome with the guest name, free water, coffee and tea. There was also a smart panel to control the lights and air conditioning, it did get warm in the room and the temperature didn’t seem to correlate to the ac thermostat. The bed was comfortable however it was a hard mattress, may find it a little difficult to find comfort if used to a softer mattress.
The hotel is an art lovers paradise, there were artworks throughout the public spaces and room by the artist Boris Bućan - the hotel offered a guided tour to view all throughout the hotel. Great location and close to many tourist attractions, restaurants and supermarkets.
