Description

The Glemerald Hostel is a place where a young and dynamic atmosphere is combined with affordable prices without neglecting comfort and quality of services.

It is a multifunctional structure that offers both low-cost rooms and an alternative tourist hospitality model. It combines the comfort of hotel services (daily cleaning, presence of a bar and restaurant on site) with the convenience of typical hostel services (common areas where meals can be heated and food can be stored), as well as additional services such as takeaway lunch, airport shuttle, fishing charters, etc.

The facility has 33 rooms, 18 with private bathrooms and 15 with shared bathrooms. Most of the rooms can only be booked for private use, but some can also be booked as shared dormitories by purchasing a bed.

The facility is particularly suitable for groups such as summer camps, school trips, workshops, etc. as it offers excellent accommodation rates, a capacity of 123 beds, and large outdoor spaces on the lawn. Similarly, in various areas, it welcomes families with children thanks to play areas and small amenities designed specifically for those with young children.

Inside the reception area, there is a space dedicated to a shop where local products and lovely gift packages can be purchased, while other areas are dedicated to exhibitions of local artisans.

What guests say

Reviews mention the excellent value for money, overall cleanliness, and the helpfulness of the staff. The location is considered convenient, close to the center and attractions. The on-site restaurant receives praise for both food and service. Areas that could be improved include breakfast options and the occasional elevator issue, but overall, the property is recommended for both short and longer stays.

The hostel was perfect both for its location and its price. The rooms were spacious and cleaned daily. The beds were comfortable. There was air conditioning. There was an antechamber and the bathroom had two very small sinks, but it was a minor detail. Check-in was from 4:30 PM (we rang the bell earlier but they did not open). The staff were absolutely very kind.

We needed accommodation for one night to attend a nearby festival (there were initially two of us, then three). We found exactly what we needed: a shared room, low prices, and just a short walk from a minimarket, tobacconist, and bar. The outdoor area pleasantly surprised us: a well-kept, clean garden with a beautiful outdoor restaurant (where we didn't have the opportunity to eat). Although it's a hostel, it has all the necessary facilities and the room has a private bathroom. We had a really good stay and the staff were very courteous. I recommend it.

The property is a hostel but the offering is more similar to that of a hotel. It has an excellent restaurant, both in terms of cuisine and service. It is surrounded by a garden equipped with children's play areas and gazebos for private conversations. The location is excellent, in the Nora area, very close to the beach and the ancient town; from here you can easily reach all the beaches along the coast, as far as Teulada.

Very nice hostel about 1 km from the center of Pula, in a quiet area. Clean and welcoming structure, with a nice well-kept garden where you can relax. There is also a restaurant, convenient for those who want to dine on-site. The only point for improvement: the breakfast, which we added separately, but offered little choice.

We stayed only 3 nights but we recommend visiting the Glemerald! The place where we slept is simple but there is no shortage of space. Special mention for the catering, the restaurant has a fabulous menu, we ate very well, every evening was a delight. The guys who manage it are always very kind and available to advise us during our stay. Additionally, having the garden with games for us was a plus since our kids could play quietly after dinner. In short, a simple, family-friendly environment but with TOP catering! We hope to return soon!

Large rooms and bathroom with relative linen. You need to bring your own soaps. Despite a great muggy heat, we slept well with the windows closed. Their air conditioning system remains a mystery.
