Marin Hotel

We stayed here for the last two nights of our cycling holiday. The hotel was clean, quiet and a few minutes walk from the centre of Pula, so an ideal location. Our room was comfortable with a small balcony. The friendly receptionist recommended several restaurants and the two we ate at were excellent. Pula itself was a lovely small town and we really enjoyed our stay there. It had a large square where the locals with their families congregated enjoying the friendly atmosphere. The square had plenty of restaurants and bars with lots of outside seating, perfect for enjoying the warm evenings and people watching

My husband and l stayed in the Marin Hotel for 11 nights and it was a wonderful experience. From arrival to departure everyone was very friendly and helpful. We were initially welcomed by Martina who provided valuable information on the beaches and restaurants that we might want to visit. Our room was very clean and comfortable, with plenty of storage space (extra hangers were provided upon request). The bathroom was spacious, with an excellent shower (lovely after a day on the beach or cycling in the heat). The air conditioner worked very well and again was really pleasant in the summer heat. The room was cleaned, and new towels were provided, daily. Breakfast was lovely, with a generous selection of fruit, yoghurt, cold meats, cheese, bread, pastries and fruit juices. A staff member was always present to help with requests. Thanks to the lovely, patient Elisabetta, and to Franco for the best cappuccino and information on how to travel to Cagliari. Pula is a fantastic place to visit and the Marin Hotel is the perfect place to stay, so close to the town centre, and a short distance by locally hired bicycle (5 minutes) to the gorgeous Nora beach. We would highly recommend!

This is not a five star hotel, but the room was a good size with a good bathroom and toilet and small patio. Wi-Fi was fine. Breakfast was in the basement and a bit limited, but okay. The location is excellent and the staff were exceptionally helpful. The only bad point was being woken up in the night when some staff member with a key walked into our locked room. Why would they? The gate and hotel doors were locked when we came home so didn’t even realise there were any staff still on the premises.
