The rooms were very, very comfortable. The restaurant served excellent food, with the breakfast buffet being awesomely great (as was the cappucino they served). The staff were all just wonderful.

the breakfast buffet! outstanding!! the staff was so friendly and knew what our preferences were and made sure we were happy. I did not care for the smoking policy that while you were eating people could smoke at the table next to you. Also, it would have been convenient to have a luggage stand available in the room instead of having to unload your suitcase on the floor or on the bed. The beach was perfect.

Nice place by the sea
Thid is a regular, very nice stayover for us on our way from Geneva by car, to our island vacation Croatia. Very nice restaurant with great food and drinks, and with a serviceminded, professional crew. The hotelroom is fresh and clean, although time is now approaching for the owners to consider some renivation and fresh up ;) We'll still recommend it though!

Great view. Good service. Very good breakfast. Parking lot spaces are very small but at least there are spaces. The hotel is near Maximilian's palace, a plus, but quite far from Trieste center, a bit of a minus. We highly recommend the hotel restaurant for dinner.

Very frequent traveler that needs some A/C
We checked in an very given a room in the Villa. A/C didn’t work. They said they know that! I said how are we suppose to sleep, they offered an upgrade the next day but go €80 more. I asked for €30 discount for having no A/C and nothing happened. When I checked out they said again they know the A/C was broken. So odd.

A beautiful hotel and location
I was so pleasantly surprised to find such a fantastic deal for this hotel. The location is on the edge of a cliff with a spectacular view of the Adriatic Sea. The hotel is an architectural classic and well maintained. The staff could not be more professional and friendly. My room was massive and had everything you need for a restful stay. The restaurant had an amazing menu and the food was great. I will definitely stay there the next time I am in Trieste.

This is a fantastic location just outside of the town - the views are incredible. Check-in was quite easy, and the room we were given overlooked the sea. We had dinner at the restaurant, and the food was fantastic. The only issue was the quality of the bed - it was quite hard. Overall, a good stay.

Quality & Class
We chose the Hotel Riviera & Maximilian's for a single-night stop on our way home from Croatia to Switzerland. We received a very friendly welcome and enjoyed the clean and comfortable rooms with the outstanding views. The parking situation and the elevator going directly down to the seashore are great – the setup/infrastructure by the beach was somewhat dated. We really enjoyed dinner (outstanding service & recommendations) and breakfast too. Not fully my style (a bit formal/old-school), but would consider staying there agin.

Superlative Luxury Hotel
This hotel rivals any hotel in the world for location, superb furniture and fittings, and service. On top of this, the restaurant food was outstanding and innovative.and the waiter had personality and charm. Our Junior Suite was rather strange and uncomfortable as the small bedroom had a bed which was essentially too big for the space and some of the furniture in the sitting-room looked as it was normally kept in a storeroom.

Fabulous Find!
This hotel was the gem in my two-week trip around Italy. Perched high on the rocks overlooking the Aegean, the views are spectacular. I highly recommend a room with a balcony on the Oceanside. I captured beautiful sunsets with my camera. The steep and narrow walkway down to the ocean may be difficult for some, but there is also an elevator to the dock and cabana area. It was an easy walk to the Miramar castle and park, and lovely marina-side restaurants that serve fresh seafood were along the way for lunch. The hotel restaurant was some of the finest food I ate on my trip! Everything was prepared to perfection and the staff was apt at helping me pair a good wine with my selections. The staff were professional and friendly. The spa services were comprehensive and affordable. Overall, I would rate this a 5 stars!!

Best near Trieste
We spent a couple of nights here, the hotel was as expected, Excellent! Great access to the "beach" Sea area, which is a pier. However the hotel does a great job of providing an excellent beach sea experience. The water is not deep at this location and has a sandy bottom, very nice compares to some of the more rocky access areas. This also proved to be a great location for visiting Castle Miramare! Just a somewhat short walk along the coast and park to the Castle Our rooms were excellent with a terrace and views of the sea. The beds were large and the room very clean. The bath was great. All in all this was a very charming location. The hotel is away from Trieste so we had dinner at he hotel each night. The service and food were very good, a somewhat limited choice for dining if you plan to stay several nights in Trieste and not go into town. However, if I were to return to this area again I would stay at this hotel again!

Resort-style hotel close to Trieste
Everything about the hotel is high quality - the staff, the breakfast and dinners, the beds and sheets, the gorgeous view overlooking the Adriatic. It is a 10-minute drive to downtown Trieste, but the drive is easy and there is plenty of parking in town. We loved being in a quiet spot when we wanted to relax and rest, and sitting out on the large veranda eating meals and looking out to sea was truly enjoyable. Food was excellent and service was great. The room was a bit tightly spaced in part because of the very large bed, but we didn't spend too much time there anyway so it didn't bother us.

Gem of a hotel on an Adriatic cliff top
A beautifully refurbished boutique hotel right on the Adriatic cliffs with stunning views of the sea, cliffs, marina and castle and with a beach front bar and pool. The staff were great except for one old bloke who was a bit grumpy and unhelpful, but it could have been due to his poor English (or our poor Italian). The other ones made up for him. Great food and a really top class place to stay.

Visit 19-21 April 2015
When I first pulled up to the hotel,I thought what is this,looked like a pension as all you could see was the yellow portion of the hotel. However, we were quite mistaken as the hotel overlooked the Adriatic and was a beautiful location. Was recently remodeled and the staff were very pleasant. This a retreat for lovers etc not so much for my wife and her sister who was traveling with us.

Nice hotel, bit out from the city center
The hotel is nice and charming; has amazing view and access to the beach - which is very nice - however, it is a bit off the city center. Room size was good, but bed is not very comfortable. Additionally, I don't think the room saw a vacuum cleaner in a while.

Beach hotel
Hotel Riviera is a gorgeous old fashioned, elegant hotel in a panoramic location. The rooms are bright and cheerful and spacious with a stunning view of the gulf of Trieste and the turrets of the Hapsburg's Castle Miramare in the distance. Meals are served on the terrace overlooking the sea. The hotel has a terrace or lido which you can access by lift and enjoy a sun lounger and swim in the Adriatic which is carefully supervised by lifeguards.

we were surprised by the quality of this hotel on our way from Trieste to Venice. the rooms are spacious and very tastefully finished, at this time brand-new. we would have stayed anther night to enjoy it if we could. the restaurant was forgettable and we should have paid more attention to prices while ordering. notwithstanding the dinner, a great experience overall.

Hotel Riviera & Maximilians Trieste, Italy
Excellent boutique hotel for families, couples and others. Great view of the Adriatic from rooms, hotel's expansive patios and beautiful gardens. The front desk particularly, other staff in general were courteous and helpful. The only criticism about the hotel would be directed at shortage of staff at restaurant during meal times. Two waiters for 20 - 25 tables could not cope with requests from diners resulting in very long waits. Breakfast room was no different. When coffee ran out, guests either waited for about 25 minutes for replanishment or simply gave up. Only one wait person was in attendance. Suggest the hotel bring in "reinforcements" when it is full with guests, in order to maintain its otherwise stellar standing.

Great, excellent hotel
I am a frequent raveller to Trieste either using my own car or a rental and I have always had problems finding a good hotel with parking, well. I have finally found it! The staff are really friendly, the hotel is very nice and has parking! Its a little out of the city, but this is a good thing as at night it is nice and peaceful. I will be staying at this hotel in future for all my stays in Trieste and would recommend this hotel to everyone. Thanks to all at the hotel.
