Grand Hotel Brioni Pula, A Radisson Collection Hotel
By the Top3Hotels editorial team. Based on Booking.com guest scores and reviews, location data and reference prices. We did not stay at this hotel. Updated 2026-10-24.
Worth booking if you want a five-star seaside stay with a spa and pool, and you are fine being outside the old town. If you came mainly for the Roman sights and want to walk everywhere, a central pick will serve you better for far less.

Couples and anyone after a quiet, resort-style break by the sea are the natural audience. Guests rate the hotel 9.4 out of 10 from 3,132 reviews, joint first of 5 in our Pula sample, and give the location 9.6.
The listed facilities lean towards staying put: beachfront position, spa, pool, gym, restaurant, garden, terrace and free parking. If you plan to spend your days at the hotel, that list matters.
Skip it if your trip is about strolling between Roman monuments each evening. The Arena and the Temple of Augustus are around 45 to 55 minutes away on foot. Budget travellers should also look elsewhere, as this costs double the sample median.
Location and getting around
The address is Verudella 16. Guests describe a peaceful seaside setting surrounded by pine forest, a short distance from the city.
From here, the Arch of the Sergii is about 3.6 km away, roughly 45 minutes on foot. The Temple of Augustus is about 3.7 km, around 46 minutes, and Pula Arena about 4.2 km, around 53 minutes. That is a long walk each way, so a taxi or public transport will be the easier option for most people.
Free parking is listed, which helps if you arrive by car. Walking times are straight-line estimates and have not been verified.
What guests say
Reviewers single out the staff as friendly, attentive and professional, with a warm welcome on arrival. The setting among pines by the water is the other big draw.
The pool divides opinion slightly. Guests describe a large saltwater infinity pool with sea views, but say sunbeds are often scarce. In November that may matter less, though pool opening in the off season is not confirmed.
Price and how it compares with our other Pula picks
The reference price seen for a 2-night stay in November 2026, for 2 adults in one room, was €260 per night, or €520 for both nights. That is not a live quote, so check today's price for your dates.
Our Best Value pick, Park Plaza Histria Pula, was €130 a night with 4 stars and a score of 8.7. Our Budget pick, Hotel Amfiteatar, was €90.95 with 3 stars and 8.9.
So you pay twice the Best Value price. What that buys is the fifth star, the highest guest score of our three Pula picks, and a spa, pool and beachfront setting. Breakfast options listed include continental, Italian, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and buffet, but whether it is in your rate depends on what you book.
Why it made our top 3
We compared 5 eligible hotels in Pula. Our Luxury slot goes to five-star hotels first, and this one is officially rated 5 stars with a 9.4 guest score, joint top of the sample.
The price, €260 against a sample median of €130, is the main drawback. It earned the slot on quality, not on value.
Before you book
Room size, noise, renovation condition, breakfast inclusion and cancellation terms have not been assessed. Read the room description and rate conditions carefully.
Check opening times and any fees for the spa, pool and restaurant on your dates, especially outside summer. Plan how you will get into town, since the main sights are not a short stroll.
