Nice room. Comfortable and clean. Pretty good breakfast. Some staff excellent, helpful and cheerful. Good pool.

Staff during breakfast sitting at a table in the restaurant next to guests smoking and drinking coffee - not very professional. Only one morning out of four were we offered any eggs. On the first night very loud music coming from a holiday let that backs onto the hotel car park although to be fair the hotel complained to the landlord and the music quietened down after that. However this put us off eating in the restaurant during our stay.

The pool and gardens are very nice and well maintained. The staff are all very friendly and very helpful. The rooms are modern, well equipped and in pretty good condition. Lots for kids in Medulin and a stunning coastline around the Cape Kamenjak.

The only thing that was missing for us was crusty/ baguette bread for breakfast. The kids unfortunately didn't like the Croatian bread. They did like the pancakes though!:)

We only stayed for the night and picked this place as it was near to Pula airport but we had a fantastic stay. It’s a lovely, clean modern hotel with great facilities. Our bedroom was huge with two double beds and lovely pool views. All the staff were welcoming and friendly. We ate at the restaurant and the food was really good quality with some interesting and tasty options; a great wine list full of local wines too. I slept really well in the super comfy beds. Breakfast was also great with a range of choices and good coffee. I felt the hotel offered exceptional value for the price we paid.

There were no USB chargers in the room but the hotel kindly lent us one when we asked, which was so kind.

Super friendly team. Rooms nicely alone and large. Quiet location, even being so close to the airport. Easy to get to by car, uber or taxi. Breakfast wen excellent.

If anything, the pool area could do with more amenities, such as a bar and shaded comfy seats. It was very hot when we were there and the corner room A/C only managed to get the room down to 23 C at night, which was fine but not cool.

Velanera Hotel had a great modern vibe. It was quiet, clean and comfortable, and our room was very spacious. The staff were excellent. A fabulous base for travellers with a car who wish to explore southern Istria - there is ample free parking on site, making this a stress free option. it's about a 12 minutes drive to Pula, and 20 minutes to Cape Kamenjak. There is a good restaurant on site too.

We have no complaints whatsoever

Loved the team of employees. Really engaged with their guests, in a non-invasive way. Recommended dinner options, had a great conversation about books, really took his time to make me feel at home.

Because I stayed in pre-season there weren't many employees on site. A little bell at reception would be great - now I had to go and find someone.

If the hotel had any flaws the staff certainly would made up for it. Incredible people loving their job and making the customer feel exceptional. Hope more bigger hotel chains had this dedicated staff. All the recommendations if you want a quiet stay with everything you need at your disposal. Also the restaurant was perfect. Not overly priced but exceptional food! 12/10

Breakfast was on the,terrace

The,bar was so quiet I could not tell whether it was possible to have a drink in there and no drink making facilities in room. Hotel a little isolated.

Beautiful styled hotel with nice swimming pool. Friendly and helpful staff, great restaurant. Recommended as base for exploring Pula and surroundings.

You need to drive or cycle to attractions, the hotel is located some distance away.

Very nice boutique hotel in a peaceful and calm environment but close to Pula, beaches and other leisure content. We got a spacious room and appreciated a homemade excellent breakfast. the restaurant is a big plus with great mediterranean and istrian cuisine. Very good value for money.
