This hotel was amazing! They truly are waterfront (check out the pictures for the amazing views!),…read moreand the views of the Gulf of Trieste really can't be beat. You can also watch the sunset over Miramare Castle from the hotel, which was so beautiful. The lobby is small when you first walk in, but the staff is very friendly and accommodating. I was on the third floor with a balcony. Note that not all rooms have balconies, so call or email to check when you make your reservation. As I mentioned, this hotel is right on the water. It is about a 50Euro taxi ride from the airport. Miramare castle is within walking distance. You can take a public bus straight from the hotel to city center, but note that Trieste city center is not really within walking distance. The hotel has a continental breakfast included, and it is incredible. It was the best breakfast I have ever had, and the best cappuccino ever. I wish I could live there - just to eat that breakfast everyday. The room was small, but had everything I needed. The bed was pretty uncomfortable. In fact the bed would be my only complaint, but the view and delicious breakfast more than made up for it.

We often take time to write a review with unpleasant experience…read more Today, I am taking my time to write an awesome experience here at this hotel. I arrived at Trieste port from the cruise ship, walked over the street, and saw the hotel that I will be staying at on the next day. I was very surprised that I will be moving my luggages from the ship over to the hotel with just a few steps. It was the most convenient move ever! The hotel itself was amazing! Beautiful, super clean, and the staffs here are so nice. Service is beyond my expectation. We arrived early. Matteo made every effort to get the room ready for me as fast as he can. He was so accommodating. Really appreciate this as we needed a place to rest. Breakfast was great! View of my cruise ship. Leunijt was amazing! He made sure customers are taken care of. I noticed another group appreciated him so much and showed him a token of appreciation. I would come back here again.

The name does not lie. It is like some sort of renovated palace. There are huge rooms, high…read moreceilings, chandeliers, marble floors and fancy furniture everywhere. It is in a great location in Trieste, right on the water front and 2 mins walk from the main square and the canal. The staff are really friendly and eager to you help with anything you ask. Breakfast was good and included in the room rate. If I was going back to Trieste I would definitely stay here again. It's a bit like going back in time, but not in a dated way. It's fully modern, but embraces the elegance of it's older attributes.

Good hotel. The staff are nice and the place is clean…read more Rooms are small but clean and well kept. They are a bit stingy with towels. You only get one and they haven't hanged it out in a few days now. Sometimes u don't want to leave it on the floorbifbita the only towel, but they are supposed to replace if left on floor. It's a cunnindrum I don't like to be in. Give me insurance by providing two freaking towels. I also had to change my room. The original room they put me in was really small. That aside the shower enclosure was so small I barely got through the door!! I'm not a small guy but damn I feel sorry for anyone in the 230+ weight range! Good luck getting in there!!! The best part of this place is the breakfast. It's great. Traditional Italian cured meats and cheeses, cappuccino juice and some hot stuff like bacon and eggs. There's some home made pastries that are real good too. Hate to give it three stars but damn that shower, it was a killer. Enough to have them change my room! The small shower was room 221 btw so hopefully that's useful to someone in yelp land! Cheers

I love this hotel in the wonderful resort of Grado. It is located in the quiet center of the…read moreisland but only minutes from the beach and about a 20 minute walk to the old, historic center of town. It is a perfect spot to bicycle from and there are bicycles at the hotel. The rooms are excellent - all with a balcony. The buffet breakfast is tasty with fresh made croissants and fine teas and jams. But most of what makes this hotel stand out is the friendliness of the people working here. From the moment you arrive, you are greeted warmly and any help that they can offer you ... they will. With such friendly service and great location and amenities, this must be the best "value for money" hotel in all of Grado!
