Latest Review for Hobo Bear Hostel
This is a Trusted Review. Why?
this is really a place to be for young people who want to have fun. I didn't have the impression though that "quietness" and " respect for other guests who want to get some sleep at night" was as big a deal as home-rules pretend ... but it might well be that the real problem is simply my age ( 53 ) ! Had a great time nevertheless ! I will surely recommend Hobo Bear Hotel to anyone under 30 who whishes to visit Zagreb .

About Hobo Bear Hostel
Internet Access
Hobo Bear is a modern, laid back hostel ideally located in the historical center of Zagreb, within a walking distance to all major tourist attractions, shopping, bars, restaurants and nightlife, easy to reach from bus and train station as well as from the airport.
Hobo Bear found its perfect spot in a typical downtown street dating from the beginning of the last century, named after the renaissance painter Medulic. Like renaissance was all about the 'Man', Hobo Bear is all about its guests, whether they are travelers, backpackers, explorers, modern day hobos, adventurers or simply people looking for some fun.
From our doorstep Zagreb is easy to explore. Just a couple of steps away is the Zagreb's busiest shopping street Ilica and in less than 10 minutes walk you can reach all of Zagreb's top sights - Ban Jelacic square, Dolac market, Cathedral, Stone Gate, the Upper town with St. Mark's Church and Lotrscak Tower, Tkalciceva street ('Tkalca'), Croatian National Theatre, the 'Green horseshoe', Botanical Gardens as well as museums, antiques market at 'Britanac' square, vibrant terraces in the Flower square 'coffee zone', top bars and clubs. And when you decide to go exploring the popular places outside the city centre - the tram station is just around the corner!
Due to its great location in the city center, close to the Hobo Bear you can find everything a traveler might need - pharmacies, ATMs and exchanges, a post office, supermarkets, an open market, as well as places to eat for everyone's taste.
Not only the location was carefully chosen to fit the travelers' needs - Hobo Bear is 'traveler-tailored' from the inside as well. In an authentic 100-year old building we created a unique place with a modern soul where you start feeling 'at home' the moment you come through the door. We like to say it is big enough to gather a party team, yet small enough to offer cozy, warm and friendly atmosphere.
We accommodate our guests in comfortable dorms with 4, 8 and 12 beds, waiting for you to fill your batteries in between your roaming adventures and parties. In our spotlessly clean bathrooms you can take a hot shower 24 hours a day and in our fully equipped modern kitchen you can sit down and talk to your new buddies with your mouth full of warm cooked food.
One place that really gives Hobo Bear its special character and atmosphere is our unique, cozy common room - with original brick walls and arches it looks like an old wine cellar or a castle, with a big difference in temperature, of course :-) It is the heart of our hostel - its a living room, lounge, a place to relax, listen to music, read a book or write one, watch a film, surf the free Internet, hang out, meet people, share a beer with your new friends, contemplate over a cup of tea, read you future from a coffee mug, fall in love, a perfect place to kick-start your night of club and bar hopping ...you choose what's it going to be for you...
Hobo Bear is owned and managed by experienced travelers, who designed it to provide you the best stay and a memorable experience in one of the liveliest cities of Central Europe. Our multilingual staff's familiarity with the city and Croatia will help you unlock the secrets of Zagreb and find activities suited to your taste, as well as recommend hidden treasures off the beaten path. With your free maps and brochures, you will get insider tips how to enjoy more and fall into tourist traps less. Share with us your unforgettable moments and adventures and we'll help you make the most of your Zagreb experience!
In the meantime, find a comfy corner in our lounge and take a time out to relax, have a drink and just feel the unique Zagreb vibe...
See you son...
...and don't forget your free welcome drink!
