Trieste, Italy Hotel Rooms at the Independent

These are apartments that are run by the hotel across the street. Big bathroom - though still shower only, bedroom and kitchen/dining room. Full size refrigerator. Power driven by key card - but unusually air con stayed working without key card, so that was very nice. Very comfortable place to stay - take out Chinese and gelato places right downstairs! Easy to get around by bus or taxi or walking.

Birthday weekend with family. Wonderful location and beautiful room overlooking square. Bonus is hotel is pet friendly for our two small puppies! Will return.

the hotel was a great place to stay for our time in Italy. Quiet area close to transport and a great breakfast.

Room is soundproofed against outside traffic, modern facilities, excellent breakfast included in price, just around corner from all the sights, helpful staff.

Great location in a great city! The hotel is one block from the sea. The room was smallish but completely adequate.

I originally booked this hotel because we planned to arrive from Croatia by bus, and it is just a block from the bus station. It turned out to be a reasonably-priced, good place to stay for a tour of Trieste. We were especially impressed with the helpfulness of the staff. The room that was first assigned to us on arrival smelled of smoke, and we asked if we could be moved. The desk clerk understood, and moved us to an even larger room that did not suffer from smoke pollution, as is so common in Europe. Other staff members recommended some good restaurants and arranged our early morning trip to the airport. All in all, a good experience.

No frills, but great price. Simple single beds, but a big room; shared, (but private), facilities; no vending machines or store--just what I expected for the great low price, and I could not have been happier. Just a simple base from which to visit Trieste. Fantastically close to the train and bus stations, simple walk to major sites, and not on a hill. Very near bars and mini-markets. We were there in November, the only guests both nights. Has a lift. Would definitely go back.

Ideal location for us to visit our relatives. Flew into Trieste airport,shuttle bus to Trieste rail station (4euros), then short walk to hotel. Lots of shops close by and sea front a short walk away. Buses frequent with reasonable fares.

Came in late night, but no problem. Staff was helpful.
