Top hotels in Peščenica
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.

Zonar Zagreb by Maistra City Vibes
Room was clean and spacious. The hotel has a specific design and lighting, which I personally don't like. It's very dark hotel with only few spotlights, which are not lighting up the room properly.
