The hotel is located in a central area of Trieste, which is convenient for exploring the historical center, but getting there with a car can be a hassle due to parking issues. The rooms were modern and newly restructured, providing a comfortable stay, but the lack of amenities like Wi-Fi in the room and no communal space made it feel basic. Overall, it offers good value for the price if you're staying without a vehicle.

This hotel is located right in the city center, making it a convenient place to explore Trieste. My room was simple but nicely decorated, and I had a lovely view of the Arch of Riccardo. However, the lack of an elevator could be an issue for anyone with mobility challenges. The absence of breakfast options on-site was a bit disappointing, as there's no communal sitting area. Overall, a decent place to stay if you don't have a car and don't mind a few stairs.

I found this hotel to be a decent base for exploring Trieste, especially if you don't have a car. The location was excellent, just a short walk from key sights, and the rooms were clean, but a bit basic. While I appreciated the simple decor, the lack of amenities like communal spaces and tea-making facilities was a downside. Overall, it was affordable, but lacking in some conveniences.

The hotel has a unique layout with the reception and rooms located a bit apart, but it's right in the heart of Trieste, making it convenient to explore. The rooms are modern and clean but lack an elevator, which can be a hassle if you're on an upper floor. The service I encountered was disappointing due to aggressive handling by staff. While the breakfast is not on-site, there are good options nearby.
