Located in the centre of Pula, Hostel Antique offers air-conditioned rooms with free WiFi access. The property is an 8-minute walk from Pula Arena and a 4-minute walk from Roman Theatre.

All units in the hostel feature city views. Guests can use the shared kitchen facilities. Shared bathrooms are equipped with a shower. As a seasoned backpacker with more than 60 countries under my belt I can say, this is the kind of backpacker hostel that just gets everything right. Thoroughly excellent stay. Stayed one night on a roadtrip. Amazingly clean, staff was friendly, kitchen was big, it was quiet, beds were comfy, you could easily isolate yourself in a private space in your bed, it had charging outlets at comfortable places etc. Also all the sights are walking distance and you can find free parking within 10 minutes walking distance.

Situated right next to a beach, HI Hostel Pula offers accommodation in Pula. The hostel is set 2.5 km from Pula Old Town and 3 km from Pula Arena. Guests can enjoy the on-site restaurant. Free public parking and free WiFi are available. I loved everything!! The staff was very lovely and helpful in every way!! Everyone around was very friendly, I definitely plan to come back soon!!, even tho I booked the cheapest room the receptionist made sure I had the most comfortable and safe stay as a solo traveler woman. The beautiful beach is not too far from the city center, you can take a bus and it's only 15min away from the main bus station.
