The staff was very nice and welcoming. The hotel is very unique, the bedroom was comfortable, the bathroom was super clean, and the location is perfect (right on the city center, about 20min from the train station Trieste Centrale, and 900m away from a bath house). I can’t recommend it enough.

I have no complaints, really. They mentioned that the hotel doesn’t have air conditioner in the room, but there was a central air conditioner that kept the room in a nice temperature. If you are someone that likes to have the air conditioner cold, then maybe it won’t be as comfortable, but it was more than enough for me.

This accommodation was perfect for me! Dear host, all rooms are clean, comfortable bed, great bathroom. The whole room was like a Van Gogh painting! I loved it! The area is a little bit noisy because of the Italian culture (solve it with earplugs), but if you don't like Italian culture, go to another country. Anyway, go out in the evening and drink an Aperol, you'll sleep better. I also recommend the accommodation to women traveling alone. This is a special place to stay, I will definitely be back!

I am delighted! The hotel employee is very friendly. He provided all the information and recommended interesting places in the city. The room is clean and comfortable. Very interesting design, I want to walk around and look at the interior. Comfortable beds, antique furniture, refrigerator in the room. The hotel is located near the center, but at the same time not on a noisy street. If I visit Trieste again, I will definitely stay here!

Hotel Portacavana has character with its painted wardrobe and art. My room was a single but had everything such as tea and coffee making, small very quiet fridge, desk, wardrobe and comfortable bed. Christian provides a warm welcome and information on local events. He is very quick to respond when there are any problems. Loved the exposed beans and history of the place.

For some the flights of stairs up may be an issue and the shared bathroom but I don’t mind the exercise and everyone was considerate with their time.

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

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?

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!

I enjoyed the room, the aesthetic and architecture were a lot older which I appreciated, and there was ample space for a lone traveler and the bed was very comfortable.

The shower isn't attached to the room but I think I was the only one to use it so I never had problems waiting for someone to be done. I will say, since I went there in the winter time the shower room can get quite cold!

I traveled for a conference and I stayed at Hotel Portacavana as a practical option. This is no luxury hotel, but it was very affordable, and was comfortable and clean. Also, Christian (staff) was very helpful and kind. I would definitely consider staying there if I travel to Trieste for work and need practical accommodation.

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.
