The experience and the host are amazing! Is one of the coolest places in the city centre of Zagreb. The job is not complicated and also they don't throw you to the sharks, they teach you how to do it little by little. On top of that, you the hostel in a team dorm and you have food supplies every week. Special regards to all of the team in the bar and the reception that make your the hostel wonderful!

The hostel Mint was an amazing experience! All of the staff were very friendly, organized, and hardworking. I learned a lot about the Croatian culture and got to practice some of the language. Zagreb is a very historic city with a lot to offer and the hostel is right in the heart of downtown. I would highly recommend anyone to work with the hostel or just visit their stylish bar for a drink. Hvala svima puno to Stella, Tiago, Maja, Ogie, Vida and the whole staff for inviting me! It was a great experience! 😃

The place where Casanova's legend started. No need to give you my opinion here, i'll do it in face to face when you come. If not, you'll find in the dorm my book « the hostel Life ».

Unfortunately, despite a friendly staff and basic provisions, I can't recommend this position. Working behind the bar mainly involved boring tasks like filling water glasses and handling the dishwasher. Despite my requests to learn new tasks for efficiency, I was not given the opportunity, even during slow periods. Also, being in a room with five other men made me feel uncomfortable. Communication with the bar manager was challenging, as he was often unresponsive. When I inquired about taking scheduled days off, I received a dismissive response, ultimately leading to early departure.
