Very conveniently located near main plaza and water. We were on the fourth floor but there's an elevator. Room was basically just a bed but bathroom was modern and well laid out. There's no common space to hang out in - except the breakfast room. All in all, a well-priced, convenient, pleasant place.

The location was perfect for exploring Trieste. The hotel is very close to the Piazza Unita d'Italia. There were many shops and restaurants nearby. When we checked in, we were given a map and detailed information on places of interest and how to get to them. The breakfast was tasty and had a great variety of foods-even GF!
