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.

Golden Rooms B&B is perfectly located for Trieste visitors arriving by train. It's about a 7…read moreminute walk from the train station toward Barcola and the promenade along the Adriatic. We stopped at the newspaper stand in the train station and bought a ten strip bus ticket, and also purchased a "HopTour" 24hour ticket. Easy transportation from Golden Rooms to the Barcola and further up to the Costello Miramare on Bus 6, the stop is about one block back toward the train station from Golden Rooms. Our room was huge, not something you find at every B&B in Europe. The bed was very comfortable and the shower was amazing. Really strong water pressure, another rarity. Best of all for us though is the in room air conditioner. The breakfast was a good way to start the day. Super friendly hosts (English is not their first language so be patient). But they treated us like family. If we ever return to Trieste, we will stay at the Golden Rooms again. It was a great place to stay for our two nights in this lovely coastal city.
