The room was lovely. The balcony area could have been cleaned to a higher standard, but apart from that, it was a lovely space, and the bathroom was beautiful. The staff were very helpful and polite. Parking was easy and not overly expensive. The breakfast, however, was very limited, and there weren’t many options or a wide variety of foods.

Staff were all very efficient and welcoming. There’s a good buffet breakfast and an excellent restaurant across the road. A small sun terrace is occupied from early morning by smokers so avoid room 1 unless you want to listen to them in the morning

A huge disappointment

The pictures do not depict the actual hotel. The pictures look much nicer. We made reservations many months prior for two rooms with king beds, their description. My sister's room was great with a wonderful queen or king size comfortable bed and a bathroom that was huge. Our room on the other hand had a double size bed that rolled into the center and a bathroom that you could hardly navigate in. It was so small my husband couldn't even shower in there.

We were also severely disappointed in the fact that the restaurant and bar were closed down and had been for two months. You would think they would at least have the common courtesy to let guests know that in advance.

Breakfast was good but 15 euros per person.

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!

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.

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.

The property was clean but we arrived quite late and were very tired. I had confirmed that there would be three beds the night before but when we received our room there were only two beds. They fixed the problem and were apologetic. The room was comfortable however the fan in the bathroom could not be turned off and was very loud. Breakfast in the morning was great! Elevator is very small so difficult if you have a lot of people with a lot of luggage but it worked for us for one night. Location is great!

The plus point for this hotel was the location. It is in walkable distance to many of the sights and has shopping and restaurants nearby. We booked this hotel because it stated that it had an elevator and one member in our group cannot climb stairs, so this was a priority. When we checked in, they gave us a room on the 2nd floor and stated that there was no elevator on this side of the hotel. Getting them to change the room to the main floor was a hassle and the girl at the front desk definitely gave us attitude and said we should have stated that we needed an elevator in our booking. When we inquired about where to park the car, she said she could show me in \"10 minutes\", while my husband was driving around the one way streets of the city as there is no place to park by the hotel. We definitely did not get a warm welcome nor did we feel like they wanted us there. The room was ok, however our shower did not work, the bedding and pillows were very thin, and there is no coffee/tea set up in the room. I would not stay there again despite the good location.

There are so many things we loved about this hotel.

Pros:
- Location was excellent
- Superb price for the location
- Located within 8-10 minute walk of Arena, Forum, and with bus routes nearby to beautiful beaches in Stoja and Verudela
- Reception staff were unbelievably helpful
- Hotel was very clean
- The restaurant (Epulon) across the street, which is part of the hotel, was fantastic and very reasonably priced
- Air conditioning in the rooms was a life saver!
- Comfortable beds
- Tidy, well decorated rooms

Cons:
- It is only a small hotel and you have to carry your luggage up some stairs. This wasn't an issue for us, but older guests may need help.

Honestly, I was so pleasantly surprised by this hotel and think that the staff made it a really pleasant stay. I would happily stay here again if I return to Pula!

Worst $150+ Hotel ever

This hotel is barely 2 stars, maybe even 1. One.

Cons:
-rooms are not very clean (trash behind tv etc)
-several towels were old and ripped
-parking situation was ridiculous
(we had it reserved and got the space when we arrived; however one day we used the car and there was no space when we came back, at which point we were told it’s not their fault because one car parked across two spaces?! that’s what they are there for to regulate who parks where and to make sure reservations are respected. even if it was free it would not be acceptable)
-very noisy, no isolation at all
-hassle to get a second room key
-dirty rugs everywhere
-front desk often unattended
-restaurant staff doesn’t know what they have on their menu
-restaurant didn’t know how to make a simple cocktail
-we had three rooms and one was ok; the other two were barely fine (one didn’t even have a phone so couldn’t call reception)
-and so on…


Pros:
-girls at front desk were friendly
-central location

All in all this hotel deserves barely two stars, and is definitely overpriced. We stay at hotels constantly and this is one of the worst price-quality ratios. It should be max around $60 per day.
We paid over $150 per room which was absolutely ridiculous for what we got - and that’s not even including breakfast or parking!

we stayed 1 night and when having breakfast they told us that we have to pay our stay they called expedia who told us we have to pay cause the sum was not reducted from our account but its written on our reservation that the sum is collected by the hotel we couldn't understand why they didn't tell us at check in time and why expedia accept to deal with such an hotel we reserved in the same trip in 7 different hotels and only this hotel was the problem I do not recommend this place and suggest that expedia be more clear with his clients and more transparent

Disappointing

Lovely looking hotel. On the website it showed a plunge pool and also hairdressing amenities. The hairdressers was down the road and closed. The plunge pool had been taken away. Not sure where it was previously. Our room had a cupboard door hanging off and the pedal bin's lid was broken as was one of the blinds on the window. The shower was hot then cold.We mentioned it the first day we arrived and again nearly every day until we left 4 days later. But it was still not sorted. Fried and scrambled eggs on the hotplate were cold every morning as they hadn't turned the hot plate on. I was told that it was broken. The bell on reception came away in your hand as it was broken.
It was a shame as the staff were lovely and helpful and the hotel was beautifully decorated.

Small and comfy hotel - 5 mins from the main sites

We stayed in one of the two superior rooms on the top floor.

The first thing to mention is that there is no lift and taking large bags up to the top floor is awkward as the stairs are very narrow. This will not therefore be suitable for everyone.

However, we loved the room. It had its own roof terrace and a very large en-suite bathroom with a double size bath. (Double width).

The room also had air conditioning. It maybe worth checking this at booking time as I understand from other comments that not all the rooms have this.

The hotel has a restaurant associated with it (over the road). This does very nice Italian food which was very welcome on arrival.

I would love to go back to Pula and would almost certainly look to stay in the same place again.

Nice small hotel but it doesn't get it together

I feel bad writing a negative review because most staff really tried to correct things. But I encountered multiple problems during my stay. First, I couldn't find anyone around to direct me to reception. Then when I found it on my own, there was no one around. The air conditioning failed in my room on the first of the two nights.

The next morning, a very friendly person at reception told me that it would be fixed or she would move me to another room. And, it did work for a while. Then it failed again. I was told that it was o.k. IT WAS NOT. It was blowing lukewarm air. After making several inquiries, it was insinuated that I was the problem. Finally, when I demanded another room, the frustrated girl at the front desk sought help from someone in the kitchen. HE FIXED IT. But this played out over several aggregating hours.

Then, they could not check me out the next morning since they were having WiFi problems and the credit card device wouldn't connect. There were several guys trying to fix the problem, but the lobby was bedlam.

Again, the people tried -- except for the guy who was convinced that I was the problem with the AC.

Perhaps might try the place again because it is ideally situated for touring the historical sights. But based on this particular experience, I could not recommend this hotel to anyone.

Bait and Switch

Reserved a king bed with balcony at Galija and got brought over to Hotel Omir around the corner. The entrance smelled like smoke, the AC in the room was so loud we couldn't sleep but when turned off we could hear people screaming outside our TINY window. The pillows were more like square cushions with no \"plump\" left in them. I was furious that I didn't get the room I reserved and told her that it was a King and could charge for the person that came with me but we didn't get it and she said they had no rooms with balcony so I'm not sure if the error was hotels.com or that she lied. Breakfast was good though and the lady serving us was very nice. The guy at the front desk couldn't be bothered. He never smiled and was very negative about anything we asked. He really looked like he hated his job and certainly is not a people person. So that was Hotel Omir and not sure how linked they are to Galija but I intend to never find out in person again.
