Rough Guide "Rooms here are smart and comfortable, if a little small and cramped, with en-suite facilities, a/c and TV. Diagonally opposite the train station. 801–1100Kn."
Frommer's "The Central's location across the street from Zagreb's main train station is a double-edged sword." Full review
DK Eyewitness "A modern hotel close to the railway and bus station, Central is convenient for those on the move as well as sightseers."
Time Out "Just opposite the train station, Central is still the most convenient and cheapest of the decent places to stay if you’re coming in by rail." Full review
Lonely Planet "The best mid-priced place to stay if you have a train to catch, the Hotel Central is in a square concrete building with 76 comfy, if a little pokey, rooms." Full review
