Hotels in Trieste Old Town, Trieste

"We loved several aspects of our Suite: the location, the historical façade and ambience, the quality of bed linen and the fact that we were on the 5th floor which was bright and airy. Also, full marks to the Hotel Continentale staff who were incredibly helpful - they cannot be faulted. Our big problem was that to all intents and purposes the advertising for the suites leads you to believe that they are fully equipped ie similar to an aparthotel. They are most certainly not...on arrival we were surprised to find no dish soap, tea towels, toaster, decent cutting knives, chopping boards, salt/pepper, oil - I could go on. We have stayed in aparthotels round Europe and these are considered basic. On speaking to reception they do not view the rooms as apartments, simply large suites with a kitchen, pans, washing machine etc. It doesn't really make any sense, especially given the pretty high price. The hotel staff were great and helped out with a few bits and pieces as we had planned to cook for ourselves because my wife has a health condition which makes it difficult to eat out. The hotel needs to decide what it's actually offering and make it clear to potential customers; at present we believe the advertising to be misleading. This should be sorted out. On smaller points, coffee pods in the room are charged at 1 Euro - penny pinching when customers are already paying a substantial amount . Also, the air conditioning was faulty when we arrived though it was fixed eventually."

"Room is small without a table and chair "

"The hotel was in a great part of town and close to the water. Very convenient to walk to several sights and the train station. Being my first time the staff was very helpful with recommendations and my departure travel. Can’t wait to come back."

"Very friendly and professional staff. Perfect room and the breakfast was amazing!"

"If you arrive early and need to store luggage go to Casali hostel- sister accommodation. Our apartment was large,clean and 5 mins walk to railway station and less to seafront promenade. Excellent value."

"Excellent central hotel with wonderful breakfast and staff!"

"The staff was awesome but it cannot overcome my disappointment with the condition of the property. It is not well maintained…some bathroom parts are worn down. The lock was not working, the paint was peeling, etc. since the A/C is off at this time of the year, it’s quite stuffy . So, we have to open the windows. But because its location is right on a busy street, it is very noisy! But I really must commend the STAFF! They saved the day for us. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this place."

"Central location and a short walk to the canal and the rest of the city main sights. Modern and stylish room (but compact) on the first floor. Friendly and helpful staff and I was unable to finish the breakfast each day. A generous assortment of goodies. Only slight issue could be some road noise depending on the room if you’re a light sleeper. I was ok. Access to the main lift is up a few steps but there is a small stairlift that appears to be available to assist with this. Check if this will be an issue for you."

"Room was nice, comfortable and clean. Note there are two 1/2 sets of stairs if you are in the 5th floor. Staff help with luggage. The breakfast was excellent, lots of choice and very tasty. The staff made this a great spot. Very very helpful and engaging. "
