Archaeological Museum Zagreb is 3.7 km from the hostel, while Museum of Broken Relationships Zagreb is 4.2 km from the property. The nearest airport is Zagreb Franjo Tuđman, 18 km from Leptir, and the property offers a paid airport shuttle service.

It it really nice hostel, there is refrigerator, microwave and well equipped kitchen. There are two toilets for each gender so it’s convenient to use even if all rooms are booked. AC is working really well and rooms have everything you might need. All hostel was clean and the owner was making sure that it stays like this. He was really helpful, kind and mindful (there were even cotton buds for girls in need) ,had no problem in communicating. Location is great, to get to the city center you can just take a 10 min bus or take a longer walk. Konzum and bakery are near by. I could recommend this place!!!

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.
