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.

Pro’s - gorgeous location. Brilliantly placed to enjoy the heart of the older town.
Great staff. Helpful at check in
The hot tub on the roof was very fun in the evening
Con - probably operator error. But I could not get my room cool enough

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.

Pärla i Pula old city
Ett litet mysigt hotell mitt i gamla stan med närhet till restauranger, borg, Pula gamla arena och hamnen med båtar till den mkt vackra skärgården.
God frukost på hotellets takterass och mkt servicevänligt värdpar. Fint välstädat rum, skön säng och goa kuddar.
Buss nr1 ngr min till badklippor.
Ett boende vi gärna återkommer till!

Die Unterkunft ist nur zu Fuß erreichbar. Der Parkplatz für die Autos ist ca. 5 Minuten entfernt. Man muss mit Gepäck zum Hotel laufen. Für ältere Menschen etwas anstrengender.
Die Mitarbeiterin Monika war sehr nett und hilfsbereit. Leider hat in unserem Zimmer das warme Wasser nicht funktioniert. Für ein 4 Sterne Hotel in dem eine Übernachtung pro Tag mehr als 200€ kostet, kann man schon warmes Wasser erwarten. Das Zimmer war sauber.

Wir haben eine Nacht dort verbracht,
Also das mit den parken ist Glücksache aber die im Hotel helfen mit den Infos wo man parken darf .
Das Zimmer hat sauber ausgesehen, nur der Geruch was naja aber es ist ein altes Gebäude und ich glaube da kann man nichts machen .
Die Tür vom Zimmer ist sehr schön aber echt zu dünn man hört alles jeden der nur vorbei geht .
Das mit den frühstücken ist ach etas was man noch so oft sieht : Mann geht zu Frühstücken in eine die in der Umgebung liegende kleine Fast Food Pizzeria , man bekommt da ne kleine Auswahl aber naja hätte alles besser durchlesen sollen.

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.

Geat value
We decided to try this hotel out as it was affordable, centrally located, offered parking, and the pictures looked nice. There weren’t many hotels.com reviews but I found some decent reviews on booking. To start out with the location really is perfect. The parking location they have is very close and I think reasonably priced. Also don’t be scared off by their check in time if you’re arriving late. They do have an option for self check in if you arrive after 2100. The room looked very similar to the pictures on here but as with most pictures they do make the room look bigger. We still were really happy with the room. The bathroom is completely covered marble. And the AC was good. The only slight complaint is that the jacuzzi on the roof was dirty. Also be mindful that the check out time is at 10 instead of 11. We didn’t realize that and got woken up at 1030 to a knock on the door. They were understanding about it though. Overall the location, room quality, price, and friendliness of the staff would make me recommend this hotel
