8.8/10 Excellent! (220 reviews)

This place is awesome. Very well located, recently remodeled so everything feels nice and fresh. Ok size rooms, not super big, not super small. The AC didn’t work for some parts of the day, which I found odd. Personnel is really friendly and nice. Definitely would stay here again if/when I visit Pula again.

We loved our four nights in the Adriatic Hotel. The staff were super helpful and friendly. We ate dinner in the Bistro which was the best meal we had during our stay. The beds were wonderfully comfortable. We can’t wait to return.
