The James Joyce Hotel is a small hotel on a very narrow street in a pedestrian zone near the main plaza of Trieste, an ideal location. The hotel is intimate, quiet, and super-clean. We only stayed one night, but when we return to Trieste this will be our first choice.

Lindsey

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
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!

Wonderful hotel! Our train was late, and the staff waited for us to check in. The room was clean and comfortable. Very close to walk to places. Great family pizza place around the corner! Wish we had more time to explore-Trieste is beautiful! Would highly recommend staying here

Great central location, especially for those taking a cruise out of Trieste. It’s about a 5 minute walk to the pier. Very good breakfast. Only drawback was the room was very small - hard to maneuver around especially with luggage.

Pleasant small hotel in a great location. Fantastic, helpful staff. Bathroom/shower quite small, and the distance to the car park is a drag (literally with cases). But overall the positives outweigh the negatives

Triste for short visit

After a cancelled flight and missed first night we arrived at the small hotel by shuttle and had a quick stay. Had to pay for missed night, frustrating but understandable. Great staff, location, room. Not enough time but all good. Would return.

This is a very unique boutique hotel. Be prepared to walk a bit. Also it is somewhat hidden in an alley. If you can handle walking get the fifth floor . Elevator only goes to 4 so you have a climb up the winding staircase but the church bells at that level are awesome. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Would book again.

Trieste is great!

We had equested a room on a low floor and were disappointed to have been allocated a room on the 5th floor! They then offered us a room on 4th floor! Eventually we got a room on the 1st floor. But everything else was good. Nice comfy bed!
