Our take
I would book Hostel Veli Jože as a low-cost base with character in Pula. The 19th-century building, an 8.1 score from more than 1,200 reviews and a buffet breakfast make it a sensible budget choice, and a bus stop close by helps if you come without a car. Wi-Fi is free in the public areas but not listed for rooms, worth knowing if you need to work. For a room by the water, look elsewhere: beaches are within 1.5 km, not at the door.
- ✓Take advantage of the bus stop 100 metres away for easy access to Pula's attractions.
- ✓Plan your beach visits, as the nearest pebbled and rocky beaches are about 1.5 km from the hostel.
- ✓Explore the ancient part of Pula on foot, as the city centre is only 1 km away.
Why we love it

Why guests love itHostel Veli Jože suits families on a tight budget who prefer character to extras in Pula. The 19th-century building stands in an old part of the city, and the centre, with its Roman amphitheatre, is about 1 km away. Rooms are air-conditioned with cable TV, and a buffet breakfast is served in the restaurant. Beaches lie within 1.5 km, so I would plan on a bus ride or a walk rather than a quick swim before dinner.
