The Modernist Hotel

Had a fantastic stay in Trieste. Very central location for holiday. Breakfast was excellent. Room was spacious and very clean, Staff friendly and helpful Will be back.

We stayed for two nights in a budget double room on the first floor. The hotel was quiet, and the room and amenities were satisfactory. The only downside was that the air-conditioning seemed to work only at certain times. The location is about a 15-minute walk from the train station and close to everything you might need. There’s even an amazing traditional games shop just across the road.

We had planned a romantic weekend, but the experience was extremely disappointing. Loud music made it impossible to relax – we could feel the bass in bed. Reception falsely claimed no other rooms were available (we checked online and found several). We were also told the music would stop at 11:30 p.m., but it went on past midnight, despite stated quiet hours at 10 p.m. After insisting, we were moved to another room an hour later – still with loud music. No apology was given, not even at check-out. Also never got a reply via mail. Terrible service and unprofessional handling. Definitely not what you expect from a hotel at this price level.
