"Staff were pleasant and hotel was clean. However, the hotel is located quite far outside of the town with few local amenities. The bus to/from town only runs until around 7pm so budget for taxis or car hire. The facilities are quite basic. It was a matter of luck whether the hot water was running for a shower, and at least one of the sockets was hanging out of the wall. "

How much does a budget hotel in Pula cost?

Stretch your budget further by looking for hotels with free breakfast, free parking or free airport shuttles. Sort your search results by "Price: low to high" to see our lowest rates.
Which area of Pula is best to stay in for cheap hotels?
For budget-conscious solo travellers seeking affordable accommodation in Pula, the city centre and areas slightly outside the main tourist hub offer the best value. These locations provide easy access to attractions and transport without the premium often associated with beachfront properties.

The immediate city centre, particularly around the historic Forum and the pedestrianised streets, features a good selection of guesthouses, hostels, and smaller hotels that are often more affordable than larger resorts. Staying here means you're steps away from the iconic Pula Arena, the Temple of Augustus, and numerous local eateries where you can enjoy inexpensive traditional Croatian dishes. Public transport links are also excellent from the centre, making it easy to explore further afield.

Alternatively, consider areas just beyond the bustling core, such as those near the Pula market or the bus station. These districts tend to have more locally-run accommodations and private apartments that can be significantly cheaper. You'll still be within a reasonable walking distance of the main sights, or a short, inexpensive bus ride away, and you'll find a more authentic local atmosphere.

For solo travellers, visiting in May or October means fewer crowds at popular attractions like the Pula Arena and the Temple of Augustus, allowing for a more relaxed exploration of the city's rich history.

Finally, immerse yourselves in the vibrant setting of Pula's local markets. While shopping might incur a cost, browsing the stalls of fresh produce, local crafts, and delicious Istrian specialities is an experience in itself and completely free.
Is it cheaper to book flights and a hotel in Pula as a package?
Booking a hotel and flight package on Expedia can be cheaper than booking flights and hotels separately.
