Still traveling, so short review. This hotel was a definite highlight of our trip so far. Don't remember why we picked it many months ago. but it was one of the lucky pics of our travel year! Superb staff, good food, beautiful room, perfect location! We will remember the Vis-à-vis hotel for a long time.

We’re unclear about breakfast not being included then charged a bundle for a truly crap breakfast. Also room was just bleak. We had booked two nights but only stayed one and moved on to Venice early.

Great location for picking up our cruise ship and viewing some tourist attractions. Less than 2 km to train station. Room was clean, quiet, comfortable, and spacious. Many places to eat within a few blocks.

Cruisers - stay a day or two and see Trieste!
All were very helpful, price was excellent and as advertised, and the staff ensured our family had 3 rooms together despite last minute reservations. I certainly recommend this and it was a perfect solution for us pre-cruise; wonderful and reasonably-priced restaurants including an excellent beer and burger place next door, and the beautiful town square, shopping, and a Roman Theater all only steps away, and a short (300M?) walk to the cruise terminal. The area near cruise terminals can sometimes be dicey in the US, but Trieste is beautiful! Only minor drawback was no real view from the room (didnt matter to us) and a brief confusion at checkin since the front desk was actually located in a hotel just across the street (at Grand Hotel Duchi Daosta, think owned by the same family). Complimentary non-alcoholic minibar is a nice touch. Beautiful modern rooms, very helpful and friendly staff.

The hotel was walkable distance to many sites and restaurants and conveniently located to busses. We were able to walk to the cruise ship with our luggage in the morning for easy embarkation. The room was small but cute, clean, and functional.

Poor service
Poor service. the reception is in the other main hotel. One night when we came back from late dinner, the entire building had emergency alarm really loud. the reception in the other building told us to wait 15 min but at the end we had to wait 1 hour without proper explanation. We were very tired to wait until 11pm but the reception worker didn’t care us much and seemed she didn’t know what to do and just repeated “I’m sorry” without taking any action. that’s not something i expected from 4 star hotel. Very dissapointing service.

The hotel has a great location in the very center of Trieste. Everything is in a walking distance (restaurants, shops...etc.) The staff is very polite. Price of breakfast is rather high, so it is better if you go to some of the restaurants nearby.

I had a great time and really enjoyed this hotel! The staff was excellent, even walking me from the check-in hotel (across the street) all the way to my room. The room was very nice (standard for Europe, small for Americans lol) and I loved the bath tub. Location is perfect to explore the city and plenty of food options within walking distance. Highly recommend!

Conveniently located in the middle of the city, a block from the water -- more precisely the Trieste Cruise Terminal. We arrived via train, and it was just a short walk (20 minutes with luggage) from the station. Better yet ... the cruise ship that we would board a couple days later was at that Cruise Terminal -- call it a 5-minute walk from the Hotel! Never mind that the hotel room was well kept -- clean, bathroom, et all. Could not have asked for more! Will definitely return!

View from the Window in the room was another building 10 ft away. So curtain was always closed. A “classic” room meant such a room per front desk, but when we made the reservation, that issue was never stated. And this hotel had only 1 floor — 1st floor!!!

Disappointing quality but very nice
The hotel is nice, modern and ideally located in the center. However, the reception is at a different hotel across the street which makes one lose out on the services- when you ask for something it takes a while, plus I was very disappointed for not being allowed to use the pool at the main hotel because apparently you can only use it via elevator access from the main hotel (because of no changing rooms downstairs?!). The breakfast was also not great- some cold cuts, scrambled eggs and store-bought cakes; we asked if we could pay and order an omelette or salmon or something a la carte, but that wasn’t possible. Overall a nice hotel with nice rooms on a nice location but don’t expect too much.

It’s a good enough for what you pay for.
The room is good size for Trieste. The shower room is excellent. The phone doesn’t work so we had to call the reception using our cell phone . The only elevator didn’t work 1 morning but was fixed right away but it’s only 1 floor up. The breakfast is across the street at Grand Duchi hotel but that was ok but I did not like the breakfast selections. I still recommend this hotel for room comfort. Overall I won’t mind staying here again if the rate is much lower than Grand Duchi.

Someone smoked in our room
It was horrible- the room was supposed to be non-smoking. We did not notice the smell initially as we had just driven from Venice and we were tired. But sleeping with smoking odor - you know how it gets after a while. When I mentioned it at checkout they did not even apologize. Parking is difficult.
