A gem in the middle of the old city

The staff was terrific, helpful, happy to see us. The room was super clean, modern, big - big enough. Bathroom was very clean and everything was just right. Parking was close - a 5 min drive (due to one-way streets) but once parked in the hotel only slots, the walk was 2 minutes. The hotel is located in the old part of the city right on the main street for shops and restaurants BUT the room was super quiet nonetheless. Breakfast was EXCELLENT and included on a roof deck with a cover for the sun. All around an AWESOME stay. Close to the arena and everything else.

Almost good

My fiancé and I are on a eurotrip, we were driving to Pula from Prague. Keep in mind this hotel has a small staff. If you check in after a certain time, they will have to leave you instructions to enter. The location is perfect. However, the shower was stopped up, the air conditioning ran but didn’t cool. The breakfast, is at a restaurant not far from the accommodations and was very good. The parking is ridiculously hard to find, do not recommend. We parked on the street because we couldn’t locate the parking and got a ticket. Overall, I wouldn’t recommend.

We loved the staff, and the room was well appointed and sparkling clean. It was well located to access the sites -- half a block to the amphitheater with a nice view of the ruins from our room window, very near San Giusto and Piazza della Borso -- yet located off a quiet street in a safe neighborhood. My only cavil: the room was quite small and the bathroom cramped. I'd return to this place again and again, however, because I found the staff so very obliging.

Great location and nice place. Staff friendly. Aircon in ruins was a little temperamental and bathroom/shower floor was super slippy when wet.

Pula Hotel in the heart of the city.

Great hotel in the heart of Pula, walking distance to restaurants, bars, nightlife, Pula Roman Amphitheater, and literally sits in the middle of the Pula main walking strip. I did not use the pool/hot tub (it was already 35 degrees outside) and the only reason for the 4 out of 5 (vice 5 out of 5) is the offsite parking and the lack of amenities in the hotel itself. That being said, I would stay here again if I did not have a rental car and wanted to see Pula by foot.
