Hotel Portacavana

Unbeatable location. Makes you feel like a local as you turn off the busy streets into your own apartment building. Decent sized room and cool but kind of grungy decor.

I would not stay here in the summer. It was hot despite the mild weather and opening the window would mean letting in the constant street noise. With the windows closed the noise is fine although the walls seem very thin and you can hear people in other rooms very clearly. Also annoying is the typical European motion sensor-activated lights. Maybe in a windowless hallway you could leave the lights on? So then I wouldn't have to walk around in the dark waving like an idiot?

Location is now the "trendy" part of town, with lots of good locals hops for food, coffee, forgotten things. The decor is sweet and old fashioned. And of course the price is right.

One side, the side I was on, opens to a noisy street. Because there is no a/c I had yo keep the windows open. I have a great pair of ear plugs and that helps. I've stayed here before so I know what it's like and I choose to stay again. However, in the middle of summer, I'd pay more for a/c

The guy at the front desk was very friendly and helpful. He even let me leave my luggage in the hotel after I checked out and provided me with the entry code so that I can come and go as a please, even though I was no longer a guest. This was a big help for me since I spent another full day in the city. The location is also great. Everything I needed was in walking distance. The bathroom was clean and well-equipped.

The floor and some other surfaces were a bit dusty. Nothing I couldn't handle, though. The street where my window opened to was rather busy and there was no air conditioning so I had to keep that window open.

The hotel is in the very city centre of Trieste close to all main cultural buildings an social entertainment places. Staff was great and helpful and the room clean and not noisy. Comfortable bed and good room.

There was no air conditioning in the room and we were in August; there was a ventilator however, which, for a one star hotel, I can accept. The bathroom was really tiny and you had to be quite slim to enter!

The location is great! If you like a rustic setting with character, this hotel is for you! The owner was very helpful and friendly. Beautifully decorated room.

The only small problem I has was with was the sockets. It was not so easy to fit a big plug.

Perfect place to visit loads of bars and restaurants all within a short walking distance

Didn't have any air conditioning which was detailed before booking. This would only be a problem in the hottest weeks. At the beginning of June the temperature was ok.

Even before my arrival, I received all the information I needed to gain access to the room. Additional information with dinner recommendations and timetables for excursions etc. Kettle in the room (also an umbrella). All in all, a very nice, hard-working landlord who addressed everything openly and honestly.

Great place to stay when in Trieste! Yes, it is loud, but don‘t forget you stay in the City Center. What do you expect? Birds singing and rivers floating? Just take something with you to protect you from the noise and you will be rewarded with a really nice Place and a very friendly staff!

Well located in the city center. Room and bath were very clean. Self check-in available outside the desk opening hours.

Absence of air conditioner in the summer could be a problem during the night, but if you have booked here you already know because it's all declared in the description of the room.

It was perfect for solo trip, there was everything I needed. Room had a fridge, electric fan, hair dryer and kettle. I received a very warm welcome introduction of the hotel when I checked in!
