RIVA HOSTEL, PULA CROATIA

Located in the heart of Pula’s center and the popular waterfront, we are a few steps away from the main city square and the main street in town (‘Kandlerova’), which boasts some of the most impressive Roman architecture in Croatia, as well as a variety of popular cafes, bars, nightclubs, farmers’ markets, and stores.
Pula’s breathtaking Amphitheatre is only 5 minutes away, and all main attractions are within short walking distance.

Located inside a quiet Austro-Hungarian courtyard building, we offer spacious and sunny dorms, as well as a huge rooftop terrace and bar, with a great atmosphere and unbeatable prices. We organize many fun events, including live music!
Our tourist agency also provides airport/local beach transfers for low prices.

We offer 3 kitchens for guest use, 2 common areas, cheap laundry (FREE 3+ night bookings!), 13 restrooms & 10 showers, free security lockers, free linens/towels, free coffee and tea, reliable A/C and WiFi, cable TV, & other essentials.

We are close to the main bus/train stations, and the arriving terminal for all ferries is a few steps away.

We are also the closest building to the ECA Airways Seaplane gate — 15m from our door to an airplane seat! This hydroplane service goes to Rijeka, Zadar, Split, Zagreb, Dubrovnik, etc.

Our energetic staff is highly dedicated to the needs of each and every guest, and will work to make your Pula experience comfortable, exciting, and unforgettable!

Welcome to your Croatian home away from home. :)
