We stayed here on our first night in Croatia, and only for one night. The bell staff were very helpful, meeting us at the curb to get our bags and take them up to the room. The girls at the checkin counter were especially friendly. When we told ours that we were in Croatia on our honeymoon, she had a... More

My wife and I spent two nights in the Esplanade at the beginning of our trip through Croatia. Wonderful hotel. Large tastefully furnished rooms; large and modern bathrooms. Very close to the old city (well, in it). The hotel restaurant was one of the best we encountered in Croatia. Very close to a tram stop. Highly recommended.

Great lobby, makes it quite easy to imagine stepping off the Orient Express into a grand marbled hotel, if only the rooms were as good! Plenty or really strange characters hovering around the hotel restaurant and bar, which makes the scene very seedy.

We recently stayed at the Esplanade for several nights. It's a beautiful, stately, older hotel. Pluses: spacious room with a walk-in closet and lots of seating; free Wi-Fi; beautiful breakfast room and excellent breakfast; helpful staff (but concierge service was inconsistent, some very knowledgeable, some less so); excellent location near the train station, bus transport, underground shopping, small park; 10-15...

The Esplanade was oh so conveniently located next door to the train station, where we arrived. This is a lovely hotel with the best breakfast I had while in Croatia. Truly top notch! It was quite clear, during the week, this is a business hotel. The room was spacious, though I wasn't a big fan of their pillows. Bathroom had... More

Love this city, old town Zagreb is very charming. 2 days was enough to walk around and grab a sandwich and people watch in the park. Took a day trip to Plitvice lakes, must do! Hotel is the best in town but not 5*. It's older but clean, needs updating badly. Room overlooked the other rooms, not the best view.... More

Great hotel- lovely rooms and superb food in the main restaurant, one of Zagreb's best. Best buffet breakfast I have come across. Staff superb. Rooms decorated in 90s brownish style - they could do with a refresh in time.

I stayed here for three nights following a hectic business trip in a rural area of Croatia. I was delighted to arrive in such a luxurious hotel after the earlier part of my trip. The bar has an excellent selection of (proper) Whiskies and the breakfasts are lovely, thought they are very generous with the Hollandaise. The location is super... More

Esplanade is a great hotel choice in Zagreb. The hotel has large rooms (ridiculously large for European standards) and a gorgeous grand lobby. We enjoyed being within walking distance to the hip, trendy part of Zagreb and we felt very safe walking in this area. Plus, the bathrooms are stocked with La Occitane toiletries! I would highly recommend staying at... More
