We stopped off for one night on our way to Rovinj, not wanting to have to return to see the sights ( e.g. ampitheatre ). Scaletta was perfectly placed for sightseeing, and also for the bus station when we left. Hotel staff could not have been more helpful in our short stay. We ate in the restaurant and again, good friendly service, with pretty reasonable value, good quality food. Our room was comfy with air conditioning, a little on the small side if anything ( if I was statying for a long time ) but for the one night not an issue.

In center of Pula there isn't so many hotels so we picked this one because it had air con in rooms. Air con blew only hot air all night long so we slept about 4 hours. We complained about that and staff was only laughing to us. Explanation was that some other room has it on heating - outside temperature was minimum 35 celsius!

Ask for Room 4 - only one with a balcony. Views not good but still somewhere to sit with a glass in hand on a balmy evening before going out for supper, The restaurant chef is a family member studying cooking and he will certainly be worthy of a Michellin star in the not too distant future. The waiter is another son who fishes at night for the menu the next day and his sense of humour is great!
Just up the road from the amphitheatre and a comfortable walk from all the marvellous archaeological sites and cafe bars of Pula.
We enjoyed this hotel very much. The rooms are small but clean and well equipped and the service was excellent.

This is probably the best option if you want to stay in the city close to the arena. Nothing special, but a simple, albeit charming hotel and good value for the money. The restaurant is excellent and more than worth its (moderate) prices.

The only deception was that exactly the same happened to us as apparently to others before us: We arrived around 11 pm and waited for about a quarter of an hour until check-in only to learn that only one of three booked rooms was available for the first of two nights. We were lodged in a private apartment building nearby which was completely beyond discussion.

The owners did their best to make up for it the next morning and were very apologetic. However, at check-out they wanted to charge the full hotel rate for the first night for one of the rooms (strangely, not for the other) - almost double the price of what was advertised at the apartment building itself! They argued that they had to charge VAT and that we took breakfast at the hotel (which was certainly not worth 40 EUR...). It then took us some discussion to make clear that this was just not acceptable.

If this is a repeated pattern (as it seems to be) they really should take care to stop it before they ruin their reputation. Sad, as it would have been a throughout positive experience otherwise.
