This hotel is not just outdated, it also has not been cleaned since the 70's (Under the bed when I went to look for something on the floor there was popcorn, soda bottles, thick layer of dust). Wall to wall carpeting reaks of smoke and dust. Staff is not kind, and does not really speak english. Breakfast is mediocre at best. You have to park on the street, might be a walk from the hotel itself, and you cannot unload the bags outside the hotel entrance since it is not on the street. You will need to carry it around to the front.

Location is good for going to the beach, snorkeling stuff like that. But it is far away from Pula center. I think you can get better value for money in Pula.

Hotel location is great, however if you arrive with the car you cannot unload at the entrance as it is not at the street. You have to carry you luggage upstairs. The view is nice. Parking is at the street.
Hotel DOES NOT HAVE A/C. During the summer, avoid staying in this hotel. It is boiling hot inside. Do not use elevator even if you are not claustrophobic. Rooms are outdated.

You will have an all you can eat breakfast at hotel Histria, the building across hotel Palma. The breakfast is ABSOLUTELY THE BEST I HAVE EVER HAD IN ANY HOTEL so far. All kind of foods and fruits... If you can afford more money, stay in hotel Histria. It is more modern and it air-conditioned.
The beach is not maintained well. There is not an easy access to the blue sea. Rocks are slippery. They did not install ladders for easy access.
Topless sunbathing is acceptable.

Arrived late given bag of food but no water to drink and no where to buy it, bar closed resturant wouldn't serve us as they were closing 22.45 nice welcolme! Resturant set on fire whilst we were there!
Room decor very tired hotel resturant food and service luke warm. Hotel bar closed at 22.00 most nights no entertainment nothing to do very bored!!!!! Sunbeds removed from pool area could not buy a diet coke or coke, supermarket nothing on shelves couldn't even buy a bag of crisps. Hotel receptionist Denisa very very helpful always smiling.

We had a nice clean room with great views of the Marina. The whole hotel could do with an upgrade though! Would NOT recommend doing half-board as the food and service in the restaurant are terrible. There is not alot of nightlife for younger people but Pula is a nice town and it's nice to have cocktails in the forum and I would highly recommend the restaurant La Scaletta near the ampitheatre.

Histria pool is nicer and quiter than the one at Punta Verudela.

Overall, it was a good value holiday and my fried and I enjoyed our week there.
