Alternatives to the hotels listed above
The 'Google' solution
Those looking for more affordable/alternative lodgings can use peer-reviewed travel advice sites such as Tripadvisor, Lonely Planet, Booking.com – Tripadvisor includes also a B&B and a Best Value section – or the accommodation sections on the Croatian National Tourist Board and Zagreb tourist info sites. Needless to say, you can simply google “budget accommodation Zagreb” and see what turns up.
If you are thinking of renting a place for the week where you can do your own cooking and may-be share the costs with colleagues/family, look at the “Vacation rentals” section on Tripadvisor, search www.airbnb.com, and read the advice and use the search engines on the accommodation section of the Croatia Traveller site.
For those who want to meet locals, yet keep their costs to a minimum, we recommend looking at couch-surfing
sites:
www.couchsurfing.com
www.globalfreeloaders.com
www.hospitalityclub.org
