Hotel National
A colorful cafe-bar terrace three minutes from the bus station
About this hotel
Hotel National's cafe-bar and furnished terrace give it more personality than the average three-star stay in Trnje, a genuine spot to sit outside rather than a lobby corner. Casual rooms and suites keep the tone relaxed rather than corporate, and the three-minute walk to Autobusni kol. makes this a workable base for travellers arriving by bus as much as by train. Free Wi-Fi, air conditioning and full-service laundry cover the practical basics, while parking stays available for guests driving in. It's a straightforward, laid-back alternative to the district's business hotels.
- Cafe-bar with furnished terrace
- Three-minute walk to the bus station
- Free Wi-Fi
- Pet-friendly rooms
Our take
Travellers staying here will find a relaxed, casual stay close to the bus station, useful for travellers connecting onward by coach as much as by train. It suits budget-conscious travellers who still want a terrace to sit on; those wanting a wellness center or pool should book the Westin or DoubleTree instead.
- ✓Use this hotel specifically if you're connecting by bus, Autobusni kol. is three minutes' walk away.
- ✓Sit on the furnished terrace for a coffee or drink rather than staying in the room, it's the property's best feature.
- ✓Confirm parking in advance if driving, spaces near the bus station fill up during peak travel times.
Why we love it
- A genuine cafe-bar terrace, not just a lobby corner
- Three-minute walk to Autobusni kol.
- Casual, relaxed rooms and suites
- Full-service laundry available
Why guests love itHotel National is three minutes on foot from Zagreb's main bus station, which makes it handy for families arriving or leaving by coach with luggage and children. Rooms and suites are casual, the colourful cafe-bar has a furnished terrace, and there is parking. Pets are welcome and Wi-Fi is free. The Museum of Contemporary Art is ten minutes by taxi. I would book it for a night or two between bus connections rather than as a base for a longer city stay.
