My stay at Swanky Mint Hostel was absolutely fantastic! The atmosphere was very relaxed and inviting, making it a perfect getaway. The staff went above and beyond to make sure I was well taken care of, while the location was super convenient. However, my mattress was slightly worn out, but it didn't overshadow the overall great experience I had during my two nights there.

The room was clean, comfortable, and had all the essentials I needed. It was tidied up every day, which was a nice touch. However, the mattress was a bit curved up, likely from prior use.

I had a fantastic stay at Swanky Mint! The atmosphere was so relaxed and inviting compared to my last experience. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the pool was a lovely bonus, though there were a few insects. The location is incredibly central, making it easy to explore the area. However, a few staff members could work on their friendliness to match the overall vibe of the place.

I had a delightful two-night stay at this hostel, and it was pretty much what I expected from the great reviews. The atmosphere is sophisticated, the rooms are comfortable and clean, and it's conveniently located in the city center. Unfortunately, some of the staff attitudes weren't as warm as I'd hoped, which was a downside. Overall, I'd definitely recommend it as a lovely place to stay with just a bit of room for improvements in service.

The location is fantastic, right in the heart of the city, making it easy to explore. We did experience some hiccups with the hot water and annoying breakfast checks elsewhere, but overall, it was a great value for money. I'd absolutely recommend it to anyone visiting!

I had a great experience at this hostel with its prime central location in Zagreb and comfortable beds. The welcoming atmosphere from the staff, especially Esteban, made my stay even better. However, the silence during the off-season affected the social vibe, and I wished for more guest activities. Overall, it was a pleasant overnight stay and I would definitely return while in Zagreb.
