Zonar Zagreb by Maistra City Vibes
Room service staff does not change the linen at all unless you ask for.The way they made the bed I would’ve make it better. Hotel draws younger clientele. When they come back from outing they’re loud in the hallway in the middle of the night. No respect to other guest.
