This was my first time staying at Hotel Palace (I previously stayed at The Esplanade) and I can't wait to go back! The location is great, right in the centre of town and close to shops, cafes and restaurants. Just steps away is a gorgeous park, Zrinjevac, where we spent a sunny afternoon enjoying the early Spring bloom. The hotel has a long history and it was lovely to see photos in the lobby of the famous people who stayed there. Our room was just perfect, spotless, with a king-size bed, complimentary coffee (and complimentary snacks and water upon arrival!) and all the necessary bathroom amenities. The only downside was the rather loud A/C system but otherwise the room had no street noise and was well-insulated. The hotel breakfast was definitely the highlight - just wonderful! A huge selection of everything you could possibly want to eat, including a "heritage corner" with dishes typical for the northern region of Croatia. They even served "shtrukli", and I must say that they were even better than those served at The Esplanade. Breakfast staff was friendly, professional and discreet. The hotel bar/restaurant had a terrific selection of whiskeys and the decor was lovely. As we had to cut our trip short unfortunately due to the Covid-19 pandemic, I must single out the front desk staff who were absolutely INCREDIBLE and very professional and provided us with a complementary taxi to the airport and comped our hotel bar charge. I cannot thank them enough for this kind gesture. I can't wait to go back to Zagreb and there is only one place that I'll be staying at - Hotel Palace!
