Istria, Croatia Hotel Rooms at the Carlson

We had an apartment style room with balcony and it was superb! I typically feel hesitant about the cleanliness of all hotels, but I did not here. The room was clean and comfortable. We had a kitchenette as well and there was a small supermarket on the grounds so we were able to save money by cooking in our room. The Park Plaza is basically its own little town with shops, supermarkets, restaurants, walking trails, etc. There really wasn't any need to leave the area, but if you did there was a bus stop with easy access to city center. We loved our stay and would recommend to anyone who is looking for a relaxing and affordable getaway.

We enjoyed a week break back in May at this hotel in Pula. We (sisters) stayed in one of the sea facing rooms overlooking the gardens, the hotel at the time was nearly empty so felt very welcome and looked after. A special mention goes to one of the reception assistants (Davor) that helped us with the luggage and was very pleasant. We have to admit the reception staff was not the most cheerful or helpful however overall we cannot really complain. The breakfast room and extensive offering was most memorable, my sister enjoyed the full range of cheeses and meats whereas I was taken by the pastries and cakes. The swimming pool and hotel facilities, like the gym, were presented to a very high standard. We would recommend this hotel in low season to couples or small groups of friends, has everything you could need and more!
