Our take
Hotel Raca stands at Vugrovečka cesta 40A, on the road that runs north out of Sesvete toward Vugrovec, and its 46 rooms are built for people arriving by car: parking on site is free, which is rare closer to the centre. Guests rate it 9.4 out of 10 across 530 reviews. The garden, the picnic area and bike hire make it more than a motorway stop, and some rooms have balconies with mountain views. I would book it for a family stopover or a Zagreb visit by car. If you want to walk out of the door onto Ban Jelačić Square, stay in Donji grad instead.
- ✓Leave the car at the hotel and take the HŽPP suburban train from Sesvete station to Zagreb Glavni kolodvor, about 18 minutes, rather than driving into the centre.
- ✓Maksimir Park, home to Zagreb Zoo, is about 10 km away on the same side of the city, the easiest family outing from Sesvete.
- ✓Only some rooms have a balcony with a mountain view, so ask for one when you book; check-in starts at 15:00.
Why we love it
- Comfortable family rooms with air-conditioning

Why guests love itFor a family with a car, Raca solves the two problems of a Zagreb stay: parking and space. Family rooms are air-conditioned and the hotel has a lift, so pushchairs and luggage are not an issue. The garden has outdoor seating and a picnic area where children can let off steam after a day in town, and bikes can be hired at the desk. Breakfast is a buffet, and the restaurant and bar mean you do not have to drive out again in the evening. Zagreb Zoo in Maksimir Park is about 10 km away and the airport 16 km. The downside is distance: the historic centre is a train or car ride away, not a stroll.
