Hotel Centrale Trieste

The central location, enabling it to be easily reached from the bus and railway stations, and to enjoy the old city

The bathroom shower drain was blocked when we registered at 6.00pm. It didn't drain properly and much much worse than that it allowed waster water to enter from other guest rooms. We asked to be shifted to another room. The hotel wouldn't/couldn't shift us and so next morning we went to the Trieste Tourism office. We didn't leave the first night because the Tourism Office closed at 6.00pm. The Tourism office recommended another more expensive Hotel to us and we checked out of the Hotel Centrale after only one night out of 3 of our booking and moved into the new Hotel that morning. We lodged a written complaint about the unsanitory/unhealthy condition of the Hotel Centrale through the Tourism Office, & seek compensation for the extra expense

The position near the Grand Canal is excellent - and not too noisy. It is quite cheap and the room though small is adequate.

It is really a pension rather than a hotel. It is on the second floor up a rather grim staircase (the lift was not working). The staff were not in the least interested in guests and the night guy seemed to like bellowing down the corridor. The rooms are spartan (think hosttel) and the ensuite bathroom is like a cupboard in the middle of the room.
