The latest offshoot from Buzz Backpackers is Taban (which roughly translates as the sole of the foot), a sprightly new hostel opened in early 2012 and firmly aimed at those who want comfort and cleanliness slap in the middle of Zagreb's principal bar-hopping zone. The hostel itself has a fully-stocked ground-floor bar which is open to all-comers during the day. Accommodation is on the slick side for a backpacking joint, with high-ceilinged six-bed dorms sharing space with spick-and-span singles and doubles, some with their own bathroom. Breakfast isn't provided, but there are plenty of bakeries and restaurants down the street. Laundry services cost a few kuna extra, and Wi-Fi is free throughout.
