Reviews of Barbacan Boutique Hotel 1 stars

The location! We parked first and navigated via maps.me easily . Quick trip back to car to get bags. Outside was an awesome bar we had a few cold ones . Vibe was great. Room was small but great. Kettle and small fridge. Friday night noise but double glazing was in place

Don’t try to drive there .Once we stopped driving it was easy to find.

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.

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.

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.

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 :)

Charming place, lovely staff and great location. Was a lucky day and even got a free parking place.

All good

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..

The hotel is close to the center. The bed was ok, for one night.

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.

Literally in the town centre and very close to the San Giusto park house. We were given a 15 % off voucher for parking there by the Barbacan Hotel. Which was a nice touch!

N.a.

The location

It was dirty, noisy, super small that I could barely move in the room.

We wanted a room right in the middle of where everyone meets, not down in the tourist section. This place was great. The community lights up in the evening, and stays alive until early in the morning. Plus, a quick walk down the romantic side road and we were RIGHT in the middle of the square where all the major shops were and the ocean right across the street (less than a 3-4 min walk). The room was very clean and had everything we needed. The host was "over the top" helpful: • showed up early to take our luggage so we could enjoy the day in Trieste before check in time, (simply email them ahead of time). • helped with the luggage up the stairs (note: 3 flights of narrow stairs - so caution if you're not in shape...ask for a lower room). • PLUS fixing a slight glitch in the hot water heater within 5 minutes of notice. TRULY amazing kindness and helpfulness.

Nice and quiet! Fantastic view!

Nice spot in a small piazza.

I was disappointed to have to climb stairs with heavy luggage and no assistance.

Perfekt location, clean, nice staff

The air-conditioning didn't work properly

The location is good in a pedestrian Piazza, but two bars share the Piazza which can be noisy.

The front desk is only open from 2 to 8, so no leaving luggage or check in before that time.

The location is good, although we had to walk uphill about 5 minutes from the parking lot. The gentleman at the front desk was kind an polite.

The memory foam pillow and mat are not comfortable during summer. It embedded our body so we sweated more. The A/C was working but didn’t really work effectively. We missed a desk to put a laptop on.

It was very clean. I loved the location close to the downtown. Nice view. Kind receptionist.

Just the size of a room, a bit small but otherwise ok.
