Easily the best and certainly the best value hotel in Pula centre
Pros:

Building doesn't look much from the outside but inside it is very nice, spacious and airy.
Breakfast was very good, front desk staff very helpful.
Even though it has only 3 floors the hotel has a good modern lift.

After 2 nights in a 3rd floor "standard room" with a roof window - which we liked - we upgraded to a 1st floor "superior room" only because in our top floor room the shower was over a bath, which I find very uncomfortable and awkward. However, altho the new room had a walk-in shower, that was the only difference and imo they are no better, and in our case a bit smaller, than the standard room.

Cons:

Not a problem for younger ppl, but the shower tray was very slippery with nothing to hold onto for safety as I have a balance problem. Shower floor rubber mats were not available so I had to put a towel down, which made it feel much safer.

Restaurant was closed in evenings - mid October - but there are plenty others in the area, and all those we tried were excellent and very good value.

Pros:

The hotel is in an excellent location, right next to the Arena and just a few minutes’ walk from the Old Town. There is a large parking lot directly in front of the hotel, with plenty of spaces, and parking is free on Sundays. The rooms are clean and comfortable, and the breakfast is excellent, with a great variety of options to suit everyone’s taste. Highly recommended!

Superb location and very welcoming staff. Rooms spotlessly clean and reasonable value for money.
Pros:

Perfect location - near the bus stop (5min walk), next to the Arena, close to a great restaurant (Jupiter) and right by the Harbour. Couldn't be better for that aspect.
Lovely soft pillows on the bed - a nice bathroom (with bath, in the room we were in).
Staff extremely pleasant and clearly enjoyed being at the hotel and engaging with guests.

Cons:

The bed was a bit lumpy - although we slept well due to being very tired after travelling.
Our room smelt upon arrival - and, although the staff did their best to resolve it, the toilet did become blocked which was a little unpleasant. I guess these old buildings struggle to cope with so many rooms & guests.
Breakfast was nice - but I'd suggest losing all the (limp) lettuce garnishing and to freshen up the hot food being served.
I appreciate the decor in the room (scratched design in the paint/plasterwork) is trying to reflect local surroundings (Arena, etc), but, for me, it just took the freshness away - and a new lick of paint would bring it back.

A delightful, modern and friendly hotel in a great location.
Pros:

Beautifully located right by the Amphitheatre and a few minutes walk from the town centre. Really friendly welcome. A very nice bedroom and excellent breakfast.

Cons:

We would have liked to have dinner at the hotel but the restaurant was closed so the owners could go to a private function. To be fair however we didn't give them any advance warning we wanted to eat. They recommended an excellent restaurant a few minutes walk away,

Wir hatten zu Beginn ein Zimmer das nicht unseren Erwartungen entsprach. Das wurde am Folgetag korrigiert und wir erhielten ein besseres Zimmer.
