I was looking for a hotel in the Trieste, Duino, Monofalcone area and I came across The Sam Hotel…read more In this area you won't find big name brand hotels like Hilton, Marriott, or even Comfort Inn. You find mostly mom and pop names and little hotels. I decided I would give The Sam Hotel a try after finding it and booking it on Expedia. Some of the things I wanted were a reception desk that is open 24 hours and the basic hotel things. I was presently surprised of The Sam Hotel. It was nice and big and met most of my expectations. When you walk into The Sam its not the nicest entry way. They have a desk, a small computer area, and a little shop to get coffee. The women who work the front desk are nice. I would say that it says that they speak English and both the morning and night person do not speak very good English. Also the morning person is a little rude. The rooms are nice and pretty big. They come with beds where you have 1 bed, 2 beds or even 3 beds. It would be easy to accommodate if you had a big group. The bathrooms are big, but the shower is very small. I am a big guy an had a really hard time fitting in the shower. The toilet did have a bidet but I was too nervous to use it. I had never used one before. The hotel does offer breakfast but it is all sweet and no eggs, bacon, or anything like that. It is mostly bread products. They offer a wake up call which is nice. They will call cabs for you. They have an agreement with a cab company and that company does charge a little more than others. Overall this is a nice hotel. It is close to a grocery store, restaurants, and a bank. Its about a 10 minute drive to the airport and about 30 minutes to Trieste. It was a nice small little town. I am glad I stayed there and I would book this property again!

It is a family run business & it shows. The owners show an interest in their customers & cultivate loyalty in them. They knew we were coming, so they kept the kitchen open a little later than they otherwise would have, just to accommodate us. We didn't look at a menu, the owner's son just came over to talk to us & tell us what was good that day. We started with a seafood antipasto, which was fantastic!! Nice presentation; delicious flavors; incredibly fresh. Wonderful. Our main course was a locally popular fish, Rombo. Nicely prepared & served with some of the best roasted potatoes I've had in a while! Also incredibly fresh. As it turns out, Rombo isn't my favorite in the fish category, but it was still good. And for dessert, a slice of cake made on the premises. Very good, and not overly sweet. My first experience at one of my parents' favorite spots was a great one!! Oh, and I should add that the house white wine & prosecco were both really good! Love being in wine-making regions!!
