"We had a really good stay at the Pula City Centre Apartments. Located only a short walk from centre (approx. 10mins).
Bus station is slightly outside of the centre (5min drive but 25 min walk). We got a bus from the airport to Pula Bus Station and then decided to walk to the apartments but it’s a bit of a walk up and down streets.
Taxi’s are a bit overpriced but we then realised Uber operates in Pula and so used them instead. Cheaper to get an uber from the airport to the apartments rather than do the bus and then travel from there.
The staff at the apartments were all really friendly and helpful. We arrived earlier than check-in but were able to leave our luggage safely stored whilst we went out for lunch and explored Pula before check-in. Staff also helpful in communication prior to arrival with information about Pula and local trips.
There was a nice selection for breakfast each morning which was included in the price.
Our room was clean and spacious (we stayed in the triple room).
I would definitely recommend for anyone visiting Pula.
Thank you for a lovely stay :)"
"Hotel has very comfortable bed. Breakfast buffet was excellent and extremely fresh. It is a little out of the way and requires bus, cab or uber to get in town."
"The hotel property sits on a very nice resort like beach front. It’s about 10min drive to the old town. The hotel room was very clean and up to date despite the property is over 30 yrs. The breakfast buffet was ok.
I have to mention that the hotel staff at reception was very friendly, polite and helpful."
"The resort is on the sea in a very quiet place
The rooms are big enough and comfortable
The kitchen and bathroom have everything is needed excluding body wash and shampoo
The reception is at the very entrance where the barrier is but they let you in with the car even if you didn’t check in so you might miss it and wonder around to look for it, so if you are tired from travelling might not be a great experience.
The room had the toilet sit broken, the bidet tap spraying water everywhere and the bin under the sink in the kitchen broken too, I told the reception about it and in a couple of hours was sorted, staff is very nice and quick at taking action. The only thing that was not usable was the safe as the instructions did not correspond to the safe characteristics.
The pool which by my understanding was included you need to pay for the lay downs so is a price to consider if you want to use it, plus they let children in with big inflatables so is not the best experience if you happen to go when there is more than one child around.
Overall a nice experience, the view is amazing and the place very quiet, not far from Pola city by car is 10 minutes"
