Liked: This place is amazing! The staff are the most awesome, beautiful people I've ever met and I highly recommend staying here if your in Zagreb! There is a really good vibe going on, and everything is organised really well. A taxi was even organised for us to go to the airport when we were leaving. Lockers are available, and its in a really good location, just a minutes walk from the main street.

Disliked: Aiman left no negative feedback.

Liked: The girls at the front desk, both Christina and Ivana were excellent and extremely helpful.

Disliked: The shower heads need replacing desperately in the upstairs shower and maybe lose the barbed wire toilet seat - not a good look!

Liked: What makes Hobo Bear Hostel so wonderful? There are so many little touches that make for a pleasant stay- the cozy common room, the reading lamps and electrical outlets attached to the beds, the hobo- and bear-themed decor, but it's really the staff that makes the hostel, whether it's Ivana whipping up a batch of mulled wine or homemade cookies for the guests, recommending movies, or just laughing at life; Gigi giving advice on Croatian museums or playing a variant of Botticelli; Marco discussing politics, his new baby, and his ideas for where he'll go if he takes a trip to America; or Kristina making a quick run to the store before it closes on Christmas Eve so that guests can have sugar in their tea on Christmas.

Disliked: Stephen left no negative feedback.

Liked: great staff very friendly and helpful. Locker was faulty in my room so i was upgraded to private double for no extra charge for my first night. was a little annoying carting luggage around each day but well worth having the big bed for a night.

Liked: Helpful staff, nice atmosphere, awesome facilities and look! Hobo Bear Hostel could be one of the best hostel I stayed before. I really like the idea and the design of the inner house.

Disliked: maybe the only thing is that they should increase the slot of bathroom. haha

Liked: Charming little hostel with owners that go the extra mile to make your stay comfortable. They work hard to keep the place clean & the bathrooms are spotless. Friendly atmosphere with cheap drinks in the common room but things end early so it doesn't degenerate into all-night mayhem.

Liked: The girls on staff were fantastic, the friendliest you could ever hope to meet! (Thank you Gigi for taking us out on the last night!) The lounge is a gorgeous homely cavern with big couches around the telly where everyone can just chill out and get to meet one another. There is a big fridge of beer and spirits available at cheap prices so you dont have to keep stepping out to buy your booze, the computer/ internet works great, plus the girls are always happy to help you plan out your day in order to enjoy Zagreb to the full. My favourite hostel so far.

Liked: The staff were very friendly and I thought the general standard of hospitality was superb - Ivana laid on a huge spread of snacks and local booze to celebrate Dinamo Zagreb's match against Real Madrid, which was a really nice touch and got people talking. The hostel layout is conducive to meeting other travellers, and the location is excellent - very central.
