I have been travelling to Trieste for many years and always stay here. I am always welcomed and feel at home and very safe. Ok it's quite a basic hotel, but has everything you need for a city visit. I highly recommend this place and the staff have always been very helpful and kind. I am very surprised by the negative comments as on other websites the comments for this hotel are generally very good!

I stayed in a triple with my wife and daughter. This is basically the first floor of an apartment building on one of the busiest street (not avenue) of central Trieste. The lift/elevator is brand new. The hotel overall has been done up. In particular there is OK sound isolation The bathroom was new-ish.
I agree with some previous reviewers that the service is basic, looked to me like a bunch of students on their second jobs, not hotel staff. But we had no complaints about anything.
The b'fast room is indeed tiny. The fare is OK.
Parking in central Trieste is just impossible and there does not appear to be car parks. I ended up parking my car up Castle Hill by the castle walls. It is only a 15 minutes walk from Via Roma. Of course the whole area of the Castle hill was supposed to be no parking but , hey, this is Italia.

I travelled with a party of 8 the total cost for the Hotel for 4 nights was £880.00. This was a last minute booking so we forgot to check trip advisor Big mistake on our part. On arrival at around 7pm the receptionist a blonde female around 30ish basically chucked our room keys at us with no greeting and pointed to our rooms on the landing after demanding our passports. It was early so we left our luggage to go and eat on our return the female had been replaced by a man, slim in his early 30s which we later learnt was the Hotelier’s son which incidentally never looked up from surfing the net. It was impossible not to acknowledge our party the reception area being about 2 foot square.
Breakfast is in the smallest room you could imagine around 9ft by 10ft no natural light and had seating for 16 you are not comfortable and will leave this room quickly. A gentleman in a wheelchair accompanied by 2 struggled to get his wheelchair in the room and my husband and I helped move some tables and chairs, the room was then full with no room for anyone else, this is not suitable for disabled. Breakfast is basic with bread rolls, jam, cake and cereal.
After breakfast we approached the hotelier’s son to enquire about trains to Venice, he never spoke just printed off a time table and highlighted the times of the trains, at this point I was becoming uncomfortable with our choice of hotel. The man was not helpful and I felt like we shouldn’t be there.
We spent the next 3 days exploring the beautiful city and Venice meeting some lovely people apart from those that run this hotel who seemed to have no interest in their business and their guests.
Then the Bomb shell dropped, on our last evening, having just returned from Venice all weary and hungry, one of my party opened the door and found stuck to the wall a A4 piece of paper with cello tape demanding we pay 100 Euro’s for the cost of painting 1 wall in the room, I immediately went to reception where the hoteliers son stated that on the 1st evening we had damaged the wall with a splash of wine and we would have to speak to the owner his mother on check out at 8am the following morning, making it quite clear the 100 Euros would have to be paid, then having tried to explained that we would clean the wall which I can only describe as a splash no bigger than 5 rain drops that had run to about 5 inch in length. The walls are painted in pastel colours which I can only describe as children’s chalk, not very expensive, the wine did wipe off and it would have taken a very keen eye to see the marks. There was more marks on our wall caused by other guests than the small wine splash in this room. The receptionist (son) said he didn’t speak English very well. The following morning I can only describe as a nightmare, The Hotelier was around 60, smart, blonde with glasses, business like, calculating, rude and dismissive. Demanding that the 100 Euros would have to be paid and she didn’t have time to discuss any matters because she was too busy, maybe with a small hotel that sleeps a handful of guests she should find the time!
I was wasting my breath explaining that accidents do happen, that is wasn’t malicious or deliberate and the wine had now been washed off, she got angry and shouted this was Italy !!, ??? We started to feel threatened and uncomfortable so was packed and was out of the hotel in 10 minutes leaving 60 Euros on the reception. This Hotel practices sharp practice, be warned on your own head be it if you stay at this B&B.in our opinion - Scammers and will try to get money from you.
Dreadful place to stay!!!

Trieste is beautiful just book a different hotel.

We arrived at this hotel from Slovenia to be told that our booking had been cancelled and all they had available was a small twin room without ensuite. The common bathroom was dirty. We then were able to transfer into a double ensuite room for what we thought was the rest of the stay, but were shocked to return from a day out on our last night to find our belongings in the reception - they had moved us out of the room (incidentally, losing an item of jewellery in the process). Once again we were moved back into the small twin without ensuite and it completely ruined the end of our holiday. The staff were rude, unfriendly and insulting. I wouldn't recommend this place to my worst enemy.

However - it does confirm to me the need to check hotels out on Tripadvisor, since it seems others have had similar experiences.
