It was a very unique experience. Although I've taken sleeper trains before, this was my first time staying in a hostel. I even had a strange worry that I'd wake up in another country the next morning. Each room had air conditioning, which was very comfortable in the hot summer.

While the experience was special, however, as an accommodation, it lacked some essential amenities. For example, there was no kettle, so I couldn't make coffee for breakfast, maybe they have, but I couldn't find it by my own. Also, hygiene was an issue, especially in the bathroom, which was quite poorly maintained.

Late check-in was made very easy, comfy beds, the room was clean, the air conditioner worked great

Curtains on the corridor side of the room would be very appreciated. One toilet had no inside lock.

Simplicity and venues.

Continuous noise at night (2AM and 5 AM, respectively). Very annoying, unfortunately.

Does what it says on the tin. Budget accommodation, a short walk from Zagreb's main centre. Excellent bar and restaurant on site, with friendly and helpful staff. The accommodation is quirky and it was fun staying in an old railway carriage.

Es curioso dormir en un tren pero la experiencia no lo vale si te puedes permitir algo mejor.

Deberían mejorar la limpieza en general, se nota que no se esmeran mucho. Queda a 30 minutos del centro caminando. No hay wifi. No lo recomiendo para una estancia de larga duración.
