Hotel berhampiran Arena Indije Campsite, Opcina Medulin

Das Hotel ist in die Jahre gekommen und ist renovierungsbedürftig. Die Poolanlagen waren nicht wie gewohnt mit Chlorwasser, sondern mit Salzwasser befüllt und die Duschen im Außenbereich waren abgestellt (”Sparmaßnahme”). Im Außenbereich muss ebenfalls dringend saniert werden und mehr auf die Hygiene geachtet werden. Wir hatten zu dritt ein Superior-Zimmer, welches für ein Kurztrip ausreichend war. Man darf für die angegebenen 4 Sterne nicht zu viel erwarten, da kaputte Stellen nicht ersetzt wurden, gleicht das Zimmer eher einer 3 Sterne-Kategorie. Das Frühstück war relativ vielseitig und schmeckte auch gut. Kostenfreie Parkmöglichkeiten in unmittelbarer Nähe sind gegeben.

I stayed in this hotel for one night in May 2023. Inside, the hotel looks nice and rooms are quite cozy. There is a large bed and given that I was traveling for business it was important for me to have a big working table. Bathroom was very clean and they have Elemis cosmetics which surprised me - very nice! I rated it four stars only due to the fact that from the outside the hotel looks a bit old and access to the hotel is not very nice to me. It has its own beach and is very well located for calm morning walks. Staff was very polite.

Pula Center rooms is a nice place in the center of the city, just around the corner from the Roman theater and the market. Excellent customer service from the owner, good price and breakfast included prepared by the owner. Highly recommended.

Verudela is such a relaxing location, with loads of trees, walking paths, and lovely seaside restaurants. You can also enjoy massages by the sea and bike rentals. I couldn't ask for a better spot. The hotel is lovely, with only a few kids, giving it an adult-only feel. There is no loud music. The buffet breakfast offers a good selection, and the staff are really helpful and nice. The water in the sea is crystal clear. However, the beach by the hotel is all concrete and quite small. We were here in June, just before the season started, and it was already difficult to find a sun bed by the sea. People were keeping their towels on the sun beds and disappearing for hours. The hotel policy is that you can remove the towel after 30 minutes. We did that once, and when the couple came back, it created a bit of an atmosphere. They moved, but not without some huffing and puffing – which I really could do without on holidays. I think there should be a clear sign by the entrance to the beach and the pool stating this policy. For this reason, we spent most of our time on the sun loungers in the hotel garden instead. The reason we will not be coming back, though, is the bed. Our preference is for a firm mattress, but the beds in this hotel have soft mattresses. I am a light sleeper, and I would wake up multiple times during the night because I could feel my husband twisting and turning. The hotel does not have rooms with two single beds; all are doubles. While the hotel offers a wide variety of pillows to choose from, it did not mitigate the discomfort. We were relocated to a room with a sofa bed, and I must say the sofa bed was more comfortable for me than the bed, but it is very small.

The agent is very kind and helpful .

To sum it up- because it's long- totally disappointing and absolutely overpriced to say the least, slow to non existent service! Horrible breakfast that had the 'flair' of a youth hostel- served at the table- which took forever on most days. A bar that mainly closed at 10 p.m. Incredibly bad house keeping( barely made up beds, cups that came with water kettle were never washed- tea and sugar never refilled) and a lot of 'unwilling' staff... In detail: We had booked an apartment in Ribarska Koliba Resort Croatia for 9 days with our son. The apartment was 38 sqm and had a living room, bedroom, bathroom.& terrace.- supposedly for 2-4 people. To start with the living room with sofa bed was about 7 meters long and 3 wide , one sofa bed , one tiny desk and one build in closet that didn't have space for the basic clothes of two people let alone 3 .( total waste of space) The bedroom had the size of a shoebox (~ 9 sqm)with a double bed and two tiny metal stools that functioned as bed tables. Off the bedroom was a small bathroom with shower and 2 sinks. It came with sliding glass ! doors ( our son was totally thrilled to travel through our bedroom every time he had to use our bathroom). Overall the apartment was recently renovated- but absolutely non functional- no room for clothes , no rails to hang wet towels or wet swimsuits. The balcony looked not at all like the pictures and was like a 'hit box'- and not even a clothes rack despite the big size.. The restaurant that advertises as 'high- end” and Michelin guide restaurant, was also totally over priced and some food was simple not edible ( sea food soup, brownish lukewarm and tasteless with a 'fancy edible cup' with icy cold mixed seafood that tasted like the remnants of a left over sea food salad... I could write more- but close it here... Absolutely no value for money- for ( a frequent customer) reduced price of 400 Euros a night, totally unacceptable!
