Apartamentos TOMISLAV
A quiet budget stay by the wartime tunnel
About this hotel
Apartamentos TOMISLAV sits ten minutes by taxi from Tunel Grič, the pedestrian tunnel cut beneath the Upper Town during the Second World War and still used as a shortcut today, and a minute's walk from Mandaličina. The apartments keep things simple, no restaurant, no spa, just straightforward rooms at a rate near the lowest in the district, well below the boutique tier nearby. Bistro Špajza, two minutes away, covers a low-key dinner without needing a hotel restaurant. Its review count stays small, but scores lean positive among the guests who have stayed, and the quieter, more residential street sets it apart from both Hostel Swanky Mint's social scene and Balkan express Zagreb's station-side location. Travellers here are usually prioritising rate over amenities, and the property delivers exactly that trade-off.

Our take
Apartamentos TOMISLAV suits budget travellers who want a quiet, residential stay away from both hostel nightlife and train-station traffic, with Tunel Grič's wartime history as an unusual neighbourhood feature. It suits fewer travellers expecting hotel-style amenities like a restaurant or spa, since the property keeps things deliberately basic. Solo travellers and couples prioritising a low rate and calm surroundings get the most from staying here.
- ✓Walk through Tunel Grič at least once during your stay, it's a genuine piece of wartime history.
- ✓Eat at Bistro Špajza nearby, a low-key option two minutes from the apartments.
- ✓Book here mainly for the rate and quiet, not for hotel-style amenities or services.
