Best Hostel

Can a hostel be chic? If the name is Swanky Mint the answer is most certainly yes. In the heart of Zagreb, this new hostel occupies a former 19th-century factory and cleverly uses elements of industrial design to create a comfortable, contemporary space. There are doubles and family rooms in addition to dorms. Small wonder it was voted Croatia’s Best Hostel in the 2016 Hoscars Awards based on HostelWorld’s customer ratings.
