Nice and stylish

Nice and stylish hotel in Trieste, with a great location with easy access to the city center. Parking is nearby but is external and expensive. The room offered and covered all needs. Breakfast was nice and the service was great.

Great location close to shops, restaurants and tours. Hotel staff friendly and courteous and have a smorgasbord breakfast at adjoining Bistro for 16 euro. Big disappointment was the quality of food and lack of fresh fruit and vegetables. Had dinner at three different venues around hotel with very average offerings at high price (20 - 30 Euros each).
