Best Budget Stays in Trnje
Three properties cover the budget end in Trnje, all within a few minutes of each other near the railway station and Ban Josip Jelačić Square: Hotel Fala, Hostel Temza and Hostel Bureau. Between them they cover a straightforward two-star hotel, a dorm-and-private-room hostel with a kitchenette, and an informal hostel with a 24-hour bar and shared kitchen. None trims the basics, free Wi-Fi and breakfast or free parking show up across the group, making the district workable for travellers who want to keep costs down without giving up a central Zagreb base.

Hotels in Trnje
Hotel Fala offers the most hotel-like experience of the three, with a breakfast buffet, free parking and pet-friendly rooms at a two-star rate, six minutes by public transport from the Museum of Contemporary Art. It suits travellers who want a private, straightforward room without hostel dorms or shared bathrooms.
Hostel Temza keeps things simple with bright rooms and dorms, a lounge and a kitchenette, plus free Wi-Fi and parking, positioned two minutes' walk from Sheraton and close to the same tram access as the district's five-star hotels. It works for travellers happy to trade some privacy for the lowest rate on this list.
Hostel Bureau adds a 24-hour bar and a shared kitchen to its informal setup, seven minutes' walk from Ban Josip Jelačić Square, making it the closest of the three to the actual old town. It's the pick for travellers who want a livelier common space than Hostel Temza offers, without paying hotel rates.
Trnje's budget tier reflects the district's practical character rather than a backpacker scene: no party hostels built around nightlife, just straightforward places to sleep near good transport links. It suits travellers who see accommodation as a base rather than a destination in itself, which fits how most people actually use this part of Zagreb.
