Hotel Esplanade Zagreb
The staff did a great job. However, the chairs when you check in are ridiculous. They’re like 100 years old. They need to put something else in there. Also, for the quality of hotel this is you would expect hot water in the bathrooms. It was very difficult to get hot water or lukewarm.

The Westin Zagreb
Great bed, sheets and pillows. Endless hot water and really good water pressure. The room is dated and carpeted but clean. Big busy hotel in a nice location in Zagreb. You can walk to everything. We didn’t have breakfast.
