We stayed here for one night. It is a small hotel but it’s lovely. Very central with great staff who were very helpful. We left our luggage whilst we explored like lots of other people! The breakfast was very good with lots of choices. The bed was very comfortable, the room cool and quiet. Thoroughly recommend it. Taxis too and from airport were very expensive, I think we were ripped off! Catch bus instead if you can!

Such a cute property! The room was large and the AC cold, two things we really appreciate. We paid for the tiny lot parking instead of searching the street. The hotel manager helped us park. Then walked everywhere. Convenient to the Coliseum and the Forum.

Charming hotel in the heart of Pula. Excellent service by the hotel staying up late for our late night arrival and arranging a taxi to pick us up at the airport. Relieved much travel stress. Breakfast was great with many fresh options and again hotel staff very helpful and accommodating allowing us to store our luggage while we walked the city.

Unfortunately the hotel does not look like on their website. The restaurant was not open, the rooms look old and used. I think the website shows, how they want it to look like after the renovation. The first room I was shown smelt very bad and as I tried to open the window it felt like I broke it. The second room was tiny and the third room was just unter the roof with no space for a suitcase and not really space to stand upright. Only the bathroom was good.
