Hotel Omir — Hotel in Grad Pula

Stayed 1 night before catching a morning ferry to Venice. This hotel is in a central location so it is close to the ferry terminal and tourist sights - the ampitheatre is close by.||||To start this hotel is a little difficult to locate - it is in a side street near a carpark. I had relatives who live in Croatia and obviously speak the language and we had to ask 5 or 6 people before someone knew where this hotel was. The owner was at the reception so it was handy to have someone to speak the language. She was fine but would wonder if you spoke no Croatian what reception you would get - maybe a little gruff.||||I booked a single room which was located on the 2nd floor. It was a basic room with a double bed (in a single?) No airconditioning in this room - only a fan - so it was hot. Had the window open which resulted in mossies coming in so I was not happy. Air con worked fine in the public areas - almost considered leaving my door open to let in cool air from the corridor..||||The bathroom and room itself are just o.k - nothing fancy here. T.V reception was a little dodgy on some channels. Free Wifi in room was just o.k - a little poor quality but still worked enough.||||The breakfast only started at 8.00 which I was not happy about - considering I had an 8.00 ferry I was going hungry there. ||||The main positive to this hotel was the location as I said it is central to the attractions like the ampitheatre and to the ferry terminal. Other than that I struggle to find any more positives. Only suitable for...

Town center is really close by. Pedestrian zone, shops, touristic attractions - just a foot walk of few minutes.||Everything is clean. Hygenic conditions very good. The service is friendly and helpful. Especially the lady in the breakfast room.||WiFi is free, fast and reliable.||Our room was very small. You won't like to be in there for a whole day but it's okay if you just want to sleep. The window could not be completely opened so ist was a bit sticky. It was beginning of october. Midsummer could be a torture. We had a big fan in the room - but it did not work.||The TV set was a museum type. Very small.||We found the breakfast a bit poor - except the omelett which was very good.||If you travel by car: there is no parking place. Park in the road and pay for it. Hour for hour. From 7:00 on. That's it!||Parts of the house smell after cold smoke.||If you look for a central hotel at the lower end of the price range - take OMIR.||If you want more comfort - choose another one...

This is the worst hotel experience I've had in Europe! We stayed in a dingy room in a dreary hotel. Had we not arrived at 8pm, we wouldn't have stayed at all. No omelette in the world could make up for this place. The bed was surprisingly comfortable, sheet was clean and had only one hole. ||||The lighting was bad, with fixtures falling off of the wall. The bathroom was a disaster. I can live with a little mildew (not this much), but when the shower doesn't drain, I have to think about my feet sharing bath water with the prior bather. A final rinse from outside the shower just doesn't cut it. ||||The one window opened up to 5 air conditioners and the back of 4 buildings. Parking is a lie and wifi router does not deliver DNS, so good luck using the internet from anywhere in the building. If I had internet, I probably would have found another place that night. Perhaps this is intentional.||||Sound negative? I'm holding back. This makes a hostel stay look like organized...
