Barbacan Boutique Hotel

Excellent local hotel

Liked: Ideally located on a tiny square with the couple of restaurants and cafes. Less than 10 minutes walk to Piazza Unità d'Italia. We had a bigger room which was located around the corner from the main building. Extremely clean, ice cold air conditioning, solid internet connection, recently remodeled modem bathroom. Room was surprisingly large. We were running a little late and were not going to arrive before the reception closes at 8pm. Andrea waited for us, assisted with the check-in, and took us to our room. Excellent hospitality!We will definitely stay here again next time we are in Trieste.

Superb

Nice design, clean hotel. With...

Liked: Beautiful, clean, cozy hotel. Worth to stay and enjoy the heart of the city. Good solution with the parking. We left car in recommended parking place and paid approx. 20 Eur for all 1 day. So we didn’t worry about the car and could enjoy all day walking in the city.
Disliked: Too nice to stay for so short trip. Really great environment. Okay - one minus, but it’s the charm of hotel - creaky wooden stairs. However it is so beautiful that all if forgivable. Of course there is no lift so the third floor is challenging.

Passable

The Filters were inaccurate especially...

Liked: The hotel was selected with filters for private parking and was an hotel.it was booked late about 18.20 on the day of stay from a motorway service station. BookingCom confirmed the reservation and we continued into Trieste. We were sent a message from the hotel via Booking that said checkin was only from 14.00 till 20.00 and that there was NO private parking. We received this message at about 19.40. We could not find a telephone number and the hotel was in a pedestrian areaTraffic in Trieste is appalling as is parking. We are seeking a refund from booking as the description was inaccurate and nearly caused a divorce. We booked another more expensive hotel. C
Disliked: Cannot comment as we never saw

Exceptional

Disliked: All great, just a heads up - the shower is a little clogged as the water accumulates (room 21) and maybe invest in a new hairdryer :)

Perfect, lovely and highly recommended!

Liked: Charming place, lovely staff and great location. Was a lucky day and even got a free parking place.
Disliked: All good

Bad

Liked: The rooms are too small, you can hear everything when someone passes by, the third floor without an elevator is not very comfortable to carry a suitcase. The bed and pillows are not comfortable..

Passable

Liked: The hotel is close to the center. The bed was ok, for one night.
Disliked: Check in is from 2 pm and we had to wait half an hour for the room to be completely cleaned and the floors to be mopped. We didn't have a problem waiting, but when we got to the room the floors were very dirty both in the room and in the bathroom. In principle, this is not a hotel, but an apartment. The reception is a street away, which is open when you announce yourself and then you go a street further into a building where there are two floors without an elevator and narrow long stairs. As it is not a typical hotel, you do not have slippers in the room and the floor was terribly dirty, which made us very dissatisfied. There was also dust on the bedside table.You don't have any personal hygiene needs except for soap for showering and towels. Forget about ear buds and shower caps, slippers, etc. It says there is coffee, but there is only a kettle and cups without spoons .There are no glasses for water.The room door can be locked but does not touch the wall all the way, it cannot be closed all the way so you can hear everything from the hallway and additionally the cold gets inside.We tried to turn on the heating, but it didn't work in the room or the bathroom, only the air conditioning with heating worked, but it was quite cold.Since it is close to the center and the surrounding restaurants and cafes, it gets quite loud and lively on the weekends, so if you've come to rest, don't count on a good night's sleep.
