We had a night over Pula (late evening flight) in late September and when we checked in, we were told that we were there for the last day of the season and they were going to close the hotel next morning at 10:00 am until next year.
They had a very good breakfast considering it was the last day of the season!

Easy to find, check-in was a breeze, young lady at front desk spoke excellent english. Super early checkout went easy because a gentleman who worked in the parking garage showed me how to get to my car after hours and how to check out when nobody was in the office

Pula has been drawing visitors to its sunny shores since Roman times. Many an empire fought over its strategic Istrian Peninsula location, but thankfully they left its monuments largely intact. None is more impressive than huge Pula Arena, a Roman amphitheatre just back from the port.
The Temple of Rome and Augustus is a wall from another temple has been incorporated into the 10th-century Communal Palace on the cobbled square which occupies the site of the former Roman forum. The Arch of Sergii was a triumphal memorial and the Twin Gates and nearby Gate of Hercules provided access through the Roman walls.
Today’s walls are medieval and skirt a hill topped with a Venetian castle housing the Istrian History Museum. Halfway up are the Roman theatre remains, accessible via Pula Archaeological Museum.
The 6th-century Basilica of St Mary Formosa has mosaics similar to those in Ravenna across the Adriatic and Pula Cathedral was originally from the same century, but got rebuilt over 800 years later.
For many though, Pula’s wonderful beaches and turquoise seas are the biggest attractions. Its undulating coastline is peppered with luxury hotels, resorts and cheap apartments on Booking.com, all easily accessible from Pula Airport. Some look towards the Brijuni National Park islands whose waters offer some great diving spots.
Had an amazing time. Staff were really brilliant, especially reception team. Nothing was too much trouble, very helpful and accommodating, before, during and after our actual trip, no matter our query or request.

You have to be able to handle the heat, even late in the evening, but Pula is a nice mix of ancient buildings and modern city life. There are many things to see that make exploring the city worthwile, it has a vibrant city life in the evenings and many beaches to enjoy the weather during the day.

We got stung when we arrived by a taxi at the airport that charged 50 Euros for what was a 20 euro app drive or 30 for a normal taxi so be careful when you exit the airport. It was a nice Audi estate but not worth 50 Euros for a 10 minute trip. Apart from that it felt a safe and welcoming city. Its not our first time in Croatia so we know its a nice place. Lots to do in Pula. If you do hire a car lots and lots to do in the surrounding areas.

A lovely historic town with an authentic atmosphere.
A lovely historic town with an authentic atmosphere. Even the touristy historic center feels like a place where locals live, and it's not just another tourist amusement park like other historic centers elsewhere in Europe. One day is enough to see the main sights. If a visitor wants to get to know the place better, go for a swim at the beach, or travel around the area, it's a good idea to plan for more days.

Pula was my last stop after Dubrovnik, Trojir, Rovinj and Zadar. The arena was nice (10 Euros to ener), but there wasn't as much to do/explore in the area. It's nice for 1 day/night.

Nice city with many oportunities how to spend your free time. Aquarium was nice as well as beaches. We didnt like Ambrella beach due to many people and strong waves as well as not so clean water. For families with children the Fazana beach is amazing. We also visited Brijuni park but I do not recommend the train ride, better to explore the park on bikes or golf carts as you can do as many stops as you want.
Honestly, we did not expect much from the hotel. based on other reviews. We knew it will satisfy our needs but believed that it will feel old and in dire need of refurbishment.
However (while still needing upgrading), hotel is quite nice for the price, room was huge and with solid amenities, breakfast typical Croatian 2* hotel meal but good to start the day, relatively close to the centre and easy to find parking.
So, if you want a budget friendly hotel that will meet all your basic needs - Veli Joze is a good option.
We stayed in house ingrid for 2 nights during our visit in Pula( 2 adults and 2 kids)
Owner of the apartment was amazing from first moment we met him, he was very friendly and funny.

Close to beach and local shop.
Highly recommended to anyone who want to stay in nice Croatian house with best owner( thank you so much)
Sorry for the delay in submitting this, but after we left you, I fell n broke my wrist.
Karmen was lovely, water n red wine on arrival. Day before we left, home made pancakes supplied, delicious.
On leaving, small bag of homegrown lavender n homemade marmalade, would stay there again, if ever in Croatia thank you Karmen. My husband used the bikes at the apartment, free of thank you very much.
Fantastic amenities and fabulous host! One of the best accommodation for our Croatia road trip. Hosts welcomed us with homemade wine! Touched by the warm gesture. The only accommodation that has 2 baths!
