Chillout Hostel Zagreb

Chillout Hostel Zagreb is a hostel at Ilica 16, close to Cvjetni trg, on the main shopping street of Zagreb, Croatia. Ilica is the long street running west from Trg bana Jelačića, and the hostel's location is only a couple of minutes' walk from the central square, with trams passing along the street itself. The Upper Town funicular, Dolac market and the Kaptol cathedral are all within about ten minutes on foot, and the Main Station is roughly twenty minutes away. This makes the hostel one of the most central budget options in the Croatian capital, ideal for backpackers who want to walk to most sights. The building is a typical nineteenth-century city block, and the hostel occupies part of it with a relaxed, social atmosphere. Accommodation is offered as Dorm Beds and Private Rooms, so solo travellers can choose the cheapest option while couples and friends have more privacy. Amenities include wifi, lockers for securing belongings, a shared kitchen where guests can prepare meals and a common room for meeting other travellers. There is no on-site restaurant, spa or pool, and guests usually eat in nearby cafés and bakeries or cook their own food using market produce from Dolac. Rates run from about €18 to €60 per night, with dorm beds at the low end and private rooms at the high end, and the guest rating is about 4.5, which is high for a budget stay. The service character is friendly and informal, with staff and fellow guests sharing tips about nightlife, free walking tours and day trips to Plitvice Lakes, Samobor and the coast. Light sleepers should be aware that Ilica is a busy street, and the common room can be lively in the evening.
