Villa Brandestini

Run away from this hotel. One of the worse hotel I have ever done in my life. If you want to sleep at night, which seems to me the basic function of an hotel, then run away from this place. It is located in the middle of the most noisy street of Pula and the isolation of the windows and walls is useless. Until midnight the whole city is bellow your window eating and playing music. And after midnight, when shops and restaurants are closed, you have every 5 minutes a group of drunk people shouting and waking you up. Add to that that the bed is for 1 person and half and not 2 and that for all that poor service you pay nearly 250€ per night and you get one of the worse hotel ever seen. Do not trust comments telling you “in the center of the city but calm”. This is far from being true. The minimum we would have appreciated would be a warn from the hotel in the description about the noise so to be able to choose correctly another place. Finally, the staff is incredibly bad. 3 examples: the only solution they had for the noise was to ask us if we had closed the window correctly… which of course had always been the case. The only restaurant they could advice was the one next to the hotel with which they have a deal. And finally we asked if it was possible to swim in Brijuni and they thought it was not possible which was wrong. This quality of service and of the rooms is not acceptable for such a price.

I spent 2 nights at the Villa and was very impressed. It was difficult to get to by car. The navigator did not help. Park on a side street and walk to hotel, they will help direct you to the parking area. The rooms are comfortable but be ready to walk some stairs. The location is very central and easy walk to most of the sites.
