Monvidal Residence

Pula

Brilliant b&b, lovely pools and staff were so helpful and friendly.  Definitely the place to stay in Pula. Easy walk into centre. Also service so good providing iced water throughout the day. Nice rooms and good choice for breakfast. 

Lovely B &B

This turned out to be a charming boutique hotel, quite modern and beautifully presented with great outdoor public spaces and two pools. We were offered an upgrade to room 3 which was a suite room with a small private pool and sauna. I've never seen anything like it in all my years of travel. As it was approaching the end of the season in Pula (close for winter) I think we were the only guests on the middle night of our stay, so we had the whole place to ourselves. As it was our first visit to Pula, we found ourselves somewhat confused with the location which turned out to be a mere 10 minutes downhill to the famous and iconic arena. Monvidal is a former fortification on one of the many hills surrounding the town. The staff were very friendly and welcoming and we very much enjoyed our stay.
The hotel might consider offering a fixed price for either continental or cooked breakfast as it offers a wide range of items and charges them individually (thus juice, coffee/tea, bread, porridge, eggs etc all charged individually). Plus, they ran out of the Indian tea we had on day 1. Minor minor things which didn't at all detract from our enjoyment. Ditto, the walk to and from old Pula to find restaurants for dinner. Some enterprising entrepreneur might open a small restaurant for the local community on top of the hill.

Boutique  B&B Hotel overlooking Pula

The structure itself and the rooms are very stylish, minimal but stylish. There are two pools and the location is very quiet. Non necessarily central, but quiet. Is on a hilltop so better be ready to walk up! But is fairly close to the bus station (where you can catch the bus from and to the airport). For some reason there was mini fridge (with drinks inside like in any hotel) but not coffee/tea making facilities. Not necessarily an issue but is worth noting.

We had the room with hot tub and sauna. Too bad the temperature of the water wasn't really hot (or as hot as you would expect in a "hot tub"), it was more "warm ish" due to the overall outside temperature than anything else. I wonder how actually hot it would be in the winter. We told that to the receptionist but they didn't seem to have solved the issue, also I don't think there was enough chlorine in the water, as the water didn't seem to be the cleanest, so to speak. It was ok, don't get me wrong, but I could not smell any. Probably they didn't do it to prevent chlorine smell in the room, but still, how can we be sure the hot tub and the water was thoroughly sanitized?
Not all the jacuzzi's air blowers were working either, which was a bit of a bummer.
Also be aware in the room there is a constant background noise (we might deem it as white noise) coming from either the hotel AC units outside or the pools filters. We managed to sleep with no issues at all but it might be a nuisance if you are any sensitive to that.

Also on a room of this level I would have expected things like slippers but there was none of that.
Breakfast (not included in the room rate, but we knew that) is ok but they should really have more staff because the service was incredibly slow. Also on a hot day we got served orange juice, fresh but at room temperature. I should have told the waitress but equally, things like this should be right on the first place.
For all these reasons, 110euros per person per  night makes me deem this place as overpriced.

Pros and cons

Truly wonderful hotel. I can echo the sentiments of the reviews about the lovely staff. We have been treated to a 5 star experience. Everyone is very friendly and attentive, going way beyond what we expected.

The hotel looks and feels very luxurious, simple and spotlessly clean. We have felt relaxed and at home from the moment we arrived. I've never actually experienced that feeling at a hotel before so this one must be pretty special.

The breakfast is very very good, tasty and fresh. I recommend the omlette with ham and vegetables and freshly squeezed juice.

So to sum up. Stay here it's brilliant, I couldn't recommend it more. Thank you for a great stay.

Wonderful Hotel. Book it.

Very recommended accommodation. Clean, modernly furnished, large bathroom, 2 pools (both quite small but refreshingly wonderful, with fresh water). Instead of German TV channels you can use Netflix for free. WLAN super. Service excellent...every little wish was immediately fulfilled. And moreover...in the afternoon fruit was provided free of charge without request. Likewise, the water consumed, which was supplemented with ice cubes, was offered white as well as free of charge.

Excellent service, very quiet ambience, stylishly furnished

We spent 3 very beautiful days in Pola, also and especially thanks to the Residence Monvidal. New structure, carefully maintained, clean, with daily room cleaning service, excellent breakfast even if on paper and not very varied (but there is everything you can wish for and is prepared carefully at the time... in fact the preparation requires quite long waiting times). The location is excellent because it is close to all the places of interest, but nevertheless it always requires a car transfer, which can be seen as a disadvantage but in fact it was not for us.

A Corner of Paradise for Couples

It's a beautiful place. I love it here 😍 Very tasteful and modern designed, beautiful outdoor area. The facility is quiet yet centrally located. The staff is very friendly. The rooms are very well equipped. We would like to stay even longer.

The Paradise

Lovely hotel with spectacular views from its hilltop position.  Slightly dreary neighbourhood but once you step inside the gates you'll find a beautiful peaceful little hotel.  Staff are fabulous and the breakfast is superb. Took us approx 15/20min to walk down to Old Town.  

Tranquil oasis 

I booked this hotel attracted by the super positive reviews I found online and I have to say that expectations have been met. A really nice boutique hotel, all white, modern, with double pool. The entrance is very scenic with this Ibiza style lounge area. Quiet hotel, never-crowded pool, super relaxed. Free on-site parking that doesn't break. The staff are really very kind. I tried breakfast once, what kindness! From here you enjoy a super sunset!

Nice location.

The hotel is newly opened/refurbished and is very clean and welcoming. Only 10 minutes walk from all the shops and restaurants. Has two pools which are never too crowded and get the sun all day. The breakfast was very good and all the staff were friendly, Drazen & Mito were great hosts. We had the room with Sauna and Jacuzzi and value for money was excellent. Would definitely recommend staying here for couples looking to visit Pula.
