'Twas a dark and stormy night when we arrived in Trieste, having flown from Sydney to Rome and then taken the train on to Trieste. On arrival in Trieste in a snowstorm we spent fully five minutes in the Nuovo Albergo Centro, at which we had made a reservation on the strength of some of your user reviews, but (for reasons on which I will not dwell) we decided it was not for us. The receptionist there graciously (considering our jet-laggedness and obvious disappointment at what her hotel had to offer) phoned for a taxi and a booking at the 3-star Hotel Italia. The Italia was bright, clean, welcoming, helpful, comfortable and well-situated. We had two most interesting days (three nights) in Trieste and would warmly recommend the city and the hotel Italia as a base from which to explore it.
