The location was perfect for exploring Trieste. The hotel is very close to the Piazza Unita d'Italia. There were many shops and restaurants nearby. When we checked in, we were given a map and detailed information on places of interest and how to get to them. The breakfast was tasty and had a great variety of foods-even GF!

Verified traveler

Good for a one-night pre-cruise stay

The location of Hotel James Joyce is good- walking distance to many attractions. However, it is located in an alley which could be difficult to find for the first time. The room while clean is basic and small. The bathroom is clean. The amenities are basic. Nadine- the front desk staff is helpful and friendly too. However, I may not choose this Hotel again if and when we return to Trieste in the future.

This is a small, unique hotel with wonderfully friendly staff and cute, small rooms with character. We only stayed one night, but had a nice stay and appreciated the hospitality. If you have a room on the 5th floor like we did, you’ll have to walk up one narrow, winding flight of stairs past the elevator limit of the 4th floor, so anyone with concerns about that should ensure they request a room on the 4th floor or below. The room was small but cute, and we thought the amenities were decent for the price. Overall, a good experience for a quick overnight stay before boarding a cruise—nothing fancy, but good nonetheless!

Air conditioners don’t work efficiently

First of all I want the say the receptionist Valentina was fabulous but not being paid enough to deal with problems. Overall a good hotel but it was a 38 degree Celsius day and air con not working, air con in corridor was very cool but the stories kept changing and we got no relief from the heat, it was too uncomfortable. We asked to speak to the Manager but not forth coming, poor service and won’t be back 👎
