The location was amazing! Right by the gates to the old city!
The staff was incredibly welcoming, had bike storage and gave us an excellent dinner recommendation.

The room was a good size, and the best part of it was an extra toilet in addition to the full bathroom with a walk-in shower. The staff -- Nico, Matea, and Ana-Maria -- were just great. Personable, helpful, attentive, we couldn't have hoped for better people.

The location is amazing; we were there for concert in arena
The hotel was very loud; you can hear people walking or talking two floors below or above. Overpriced for what you get; 270 euros night and one plastic cup (no glasses) in the room, plus sewage smell in the bathroom that additionally had black mold growing in some corners. They advertise that they come with parking but if you miss to reserve on time, then you are out of luck (and they don’t make it easy for you)

There was no breakfast at the hotel, but a breakfast could be had at a nearby restaurant, some days, not all.

This hotel is very clean and conveniently located to the major sights, such as the Arena, and many restaurants and shops. Although this property is sometimes described as “hostel,” it’s a regular full-fledged hotel. The front desk staff were all very friendly and helpful.
Something to keep in mind is that the front desk is closed from late at night until early in the morning. You can leave and get back in the hotel using a code, however.

Location location location! Beautifully done inside. New. Comfy bed. Clean
Room pretty small…not an issue for us but with 2 backpacks on the ground, there was limited walking space. And just for clarification…there is no breakfast. They offer a discounted rate at the restaurant next door. The parking is also not “right out front” as some other person out in their review. It costs €15 and is about 3 blocks (5min) walk away. Not a big deal but the street parking directly outside of the place is for permit/locals only and the ticket is €99 is you get caught. These are just for clarification…would absolutely stay here again.

The location of the off-site apartment was perfect. It was in the center of downtown Pula and everything was walking distance. Tue room was spacious and very clean. The facility had free parking in the front yard.

Excellent location, everything is so close, staff very friendly especially Nikola, young man, who was always ready to help and answer any question. Clean bedroom and bathroom. Bus stop is outside hotel . Nice restaurant next to hotel providing meals if somebody wants to have breakfast, lunch or dinner. Excellent atmosphere around hotel. I highly recommend for those who come for a short break , especially good for solo travellers.
