We wanted to book at James Joyce Hotel as the reviews were quite good but it was full so the owner offered us a room in their sister-hotel: Urban. The location is very good because it's near Piazza Unità D'Italia and the main attractions are within walking distances. The rooms are modern stlye, clean and quite spacious. Nice breakfast in... more

This hotel is exactly how it advertises itself to be - and in my view that's a good thing. Its central location is fantastic, it's really really clean - some might find it clinical but I liked it [for a hotel - I don't know if I could live with such minimalism!], the breakfast was very very good and ok,... more

This turned out to be the Trieste version of Frankfurt's The Pure. Minimalism, lots of white and it takes itself far too seriously. Location is good - no views but central (although building work across the narrow lane at the back). Room was very small and very white. One of the problems was the fact that aircon will not work... more

£112 should buy you a large, comfortable room in a 4-star hotel, with a central location and facilities such as on-site parking, gym, plush bar and restaurant etc. Urban doesn't come up with all the goodies, but it's not bad. The location is fantastic - you're in the very centre of Trieste here, a surprisingly beautiful city with many interesting... more

This is, as advertised, an ultra-modern hotel in a prime location. The rooms are very clean, the staff pleasant and the breakfast good. But it is also expensive, and I'm not sure that upon my return to Trieste I will be returning to the Urban Design: our room was above the airconditioning units outside the hotel (at first we thought... more

Stayed one night, seems to be one of the better options to stay in triest. Design is cool or maybe even a little cold and strictly black and white once in the room. Nice bathrooms, excellent breakfast, perfect downtown location, therfore maybe tricky to park your car. Listprice of EUR 220 plus EUR 20 for breakfast seems well overpaid, however... more

Friendly helpful staff, central location (just by Piazza del Unita Italia), good breakfast, and rigorous black and white modernist design scheme throughout (which is quite fun, once in a while). more

Very nice 'Design Hotel' in downtown Trieste - next to the beautiful Piazza Unità. Stayed here only one night (for business) and really enjoyed this new hotel and its friendly staff. The rooms are spacious, well decorated - be it somewhat cold - with all the amenities you need. Bedspreads are changed with every guest! Only minus to the room... more

Struttura moderna, posizione centrale. Reception compente e cordiale. Camera e bagno spaziosi e puliti. Il meglio: Colazione straordinaria, specialmente se... more
