Riva Hostel Pula, Pula, Kroatië

We are proud to announce the opening of Hostel Riva, an extension of the top rated hostel in Croatia, and the most successful in Pula!

Located in the heart of Pula\'s center and at the famous Pula waterfront (Riva), we are a few steps away from the historic Forum and Kandlerova Street, which boasts some of the most impressive Roman architecture in Croatia, as well as a variety of cafes, bars, and shops. Pula\'s breathtaking Amphitheater (\'Arena\') is a mere five-minute walk from Riva Hostel, and all of Pula\'s main attractions are within proximate walking distance.

We are also very close to the main bus and train stations, and the arriving terminal for all boats and ferries is less than a minute walk to where we are locates - quite useful if you will be taking a ferry out of Pula to the south Croatian coast early in the morning!

Building upon an already established and highly successful hostel business, our main mission is to make your holiday in Pula as comfortable, relaxing and fun as possible. Our staff is energetic and highly dedicated to the needs of each and every guest. It is our firm belief that going this extra mile is what makes a hostel experience above average, and takes at least some of the stress out of traveling and spending time in a foreign country! We want you to feel at home in our hostel.

Located inside a quiet Austro-Hungarian courtyard building, our newly renovated space consists of 4 large and spacious sleeping rooms with tall ceilings, a common area with TV, free internet computer station and WI-FI throughout the property.

Two of the rooms have their own newly renovated bathrooms with spacious shower stalls.

There is a large kitchen available for use. You are welcome to help yourself to breakfast items in the morning (included in the price), as well as coffee and tea. We also have all kitchen appliances and utensils necessary for cooking and meals.

We are equipped with brand new facilities, including air conditioning, security lockers, free internet use + WI-FI access, free laundry service, a spacious kitchen area, TV and DVD access, and many other state-of-the-art features that we are imperative for a modern and convenient hostel experience.

Each room in out hostel has very tall ceilings, which makes sleeping with more people in the room quite comfortable! Each room has its own AC unit. Located inside a quiet courtyard, the commotion and traffic outside is not heard at all, even though our location is in the heart of the city center.

Each member of our three-person staff has had extensive experience with travel in his/her life. We are all more than happy to share our experiences, recommend travel ideas, provide useful information, and help you clarify and plan the remainder of your travels.

*English, Spanish, and Croatian/Bosnian/Serbian are spoken here.*

*You can also find us on Facebook!*

Now for some ground rules:::

1) Check-out is at 11am, as our scheduled cleaning time is from 11am-2pm (14h) every day of the week. During this cleaning time, we kindly ask that the hostel be vacant.

If you would like to leave your bags and other personal items on hold with us after you check out, please ask us in advance.

2) Check in is open all day, but if you are running late or arriving earlier than the arrival time that you had given us either in your confirmation e-mail or online booking, please inform us as soon as possible via e-mail, text message, or phone call!

IMPORTANT: Late/Early check in needs to be done between 9am and midnight! Making noise with very late/early check-in is not what our guests appreciate and expect, so we need to make sure everyone is checked in before midnight at the latest, and 9am at the earliest.

Our hostel is being cleaned every day from 11am to 2pm. If you arrive before 2pm, you are welcome to leave your bags, but please be back at 2pm for regular check-in.

Earliest arrival is at 9am, please do not expect to be let in before this time!

3) If you do not inform us of your late arrival and are a no-show 4+ hours after your scheduled arrival time, we will have no choice but to cancel your reservation.

4) No drugs are permitted inside or in the outside seating area of the hostel. Guests may smoke tobacco cigarettes in the outside area. We also ask that alcohol consumption be kept to a minimum in the hostel, out of respect to our neighbors.

5) There is no curfew--guests have their own keys and the freedom to come and go as they please. We only request that you enter and leave the hostel as QUIETLY as possible, particularly during the night, so as not to disturb other residents in our building.

Guests are not permitted to bring outside visitors into the hostel area at any time--for obvious safety reasons, anyone who is not accounted for by our staff is not allowed to be in the hostel area. Any guest who breaks this rule will run the risk of losing his/her reservation at the hostel and may be asked to leave.

Thank you!
