Park Plaza Histria Pula
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 four-star seaside base in Pula with a pool, spa and a strong breakfast at a mid-range price. Skip it if you plan to walk to the Arena and old town every day, because they are far from Verudella.

This is our Best Value pick for Pula. It fits couples and travellers who want the sea on the doorstep, a pool and spa on site, and a good breakfast, without paying luxury rates. Guests rate it 8.7 out of 10 across 2,973 reviews, which is a large and steady sample.
Drivers will find it easy, since free parking is listed. A gym, restaurant, terrace and air conditioning are listed too.
It is a weaker match if your plan is the Roman sights in the centre, which are all more than 40 minutes away on foot.
Location: seaside at Verudella, far from the old town
The address is Verudella 17, on the coast south of the centre. Guests describe a seaside setting near a bus stop for getting into town, with shops nearby and views over the marina. The location sub-score is 9.1, which tells you guests like the setting itself.
Distances to the main sights are long. The Arch of the Sergii is about 3.6 km, roughly 45 minutes on foot. The Temple of Augustus is 3.8 km, around 48 minutes. Pula Arena is 4.2 km, about 53 minutes. All three are far, so plan on public transport or a taxi rather than walking each way.
These walking times are straight-line estimates and have not been verified.
What guests say
Breakfast is the clearest strength. Reviewers describe an extensive buffet with a wide range of hot and cold dishes, and they mention vegan choices. The listed options are continental, Italian, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and buffet.
The setting comes next. People like being by the water, with a bus stop close by and the marina in view.
The main complaint is housekeeping. Many guests find the rooms spacious and tidy, but some report stained carpets and spots that cleaning missed.
Price and how it compares with our other Pula picks
The reference price was 130 euros per night, seen for a 2-night stay in November 2026 for 2 adults in one room. That is about 260 euros for both nights, and it matches the sample median of 130 euros exactly. This is not a live quote, so check today's price for your dates.
You get a four-star hotel with a beachfront position, spa, pool, gym, restaurant and free parking listed. Whether breakfast is included in your rate is not confirmed.
Our Budget pick, Hotel Amfiteatar, scored 8.9 at 90.95 euros per night, so it is cheaper and rated slightly higher, though it is a three-star hotel. Our Luxury pick, Grand Hotel Brioni Pula, A Radisson Collection Hotel, scored 9.4 at 260 euros, twice this price. Park Plaza Histria sits between them: more facilities than the budget option, half the cost of the five-star.
Why it made our top 3
We compared 5 eligible hotels in Pula. The Best Value slot balances guest score, number of reviews and reference price, so it is not always the cheapest hotel.
On review score alone it placed joint 4th of the 5. What lifted it was the combination of nearly 3,000 reviews, a price right at the median, a 9.1 location score and the widest set of on-site facilities at that price.
