Hostel Swanky Mint
Industrial-chic hostel with a lively bar and a seasonal pool
About this hotel
Hostel Swanky Mint occupies a converted textile factory, giving it a distinctive industrial-chic vibe. The heart of the hostel is its buzzy bar, a social hub where guests can mingle, and a seasonal outdoor pool provides a refreshing escape during warmer months. While not directly on the water, its central location in Stenjevec means you're just a minute's walk from Frankopanska and two minutes from the Museum of Illusions. The property offers air conditioning throughout, and some rooms include a kitchen, catering to those who prefer to self-cater. The atmosphere is relaxed and social, making it a good base for exploring the city.

Our take
This hostel is ideal for budget-conscious travellers and those who appreciate a social atmosphere with good amenities. The pet-friendly policy is a bonus for guests travelling with animals. While it's not a quiet retreat, its lively bar and pool make it a fun choice for younger travellers or groups. Those seeking a more traditional hotel experience or a very quiet stay might prefer other options, but for a vibrant, well-located base, it's a solid choice.
- ✓Take advantage of the outdoor pool during the warmer months for a refreshing break.

- ✓If you plan to cook, consider booking a room with a kitchen for added convenience.
