    Maybe carpets or disposable slippers would be good, because of stone floor. But to be honest — I can’t say something bad about this place. I can just recommend

    Better then expected. Placed in the city centre, friendly personnel, pleasant room design, cute breakfast.

    The location is superb, with everything within walking distance. Davide is a most friendly and accommodating host who on our first night went out of his way to find us lost souls in the street! He provides a good breakfast, and was very helpful with our luggage on our last day

    It is a third floor with only stairs so keep that in mind if you have accessibility issues and/or heavy luggages.

    The room had everything you would need, it also had the perfect location to walk through all of Trieste. Davide was very nice to accommodate everything for us, especially to leave the car in the designated parking space.

    Classic style can feel a bit dated or that it may need some updates.

    Host was exceptional, warm, friendly, helpful and accommodating. She took time to help us address parking issues and provided good recommendations for where to go and what to see around the city which was super helpful since we were only there for the one night. Room has classic style and charm and feels very secure. We were very happy to find safe, secure, inside parking so close to the city center.

    The four flights of stairs up to the unit was an extra source of exercise after long days of sight seeing. We booked the room with an external bathroom, which we wouldn’t do in the future.

    The place was within east walking distance of the port, train station, buses, points of interest, and the pedestrian walkway/shopping area. Our host, David, was extremely helpful and personable, with tasty coffee and breakfast every day.

    We had no real complaints. The street at night is sometimes very noisy and prevents us to sleep with open windows.

    The B&B is located in a larger flat in an old house directly in the center of the city. There a only several meters to walk to the central places and to San Giusto. We had a nice room with a relatively large bath. The centralized kitchen with a nice balcony is used for breakfast and as common room to talk to other guests. The whole B&B is furnitured antique and give the rooms a special style. The breakfast was prepared directly by the owners. We liked especially the coffee. The breakfast was larger than common in Italy. The owners of the B&B handles the accomodation very personally. We got nice recommendations for interesting sights and restaurants.

    Davide and Federica are very friendly and helpful hosts; it's like being part of the family. Sitting on the balcony for breakfast was delightful. Breakfast is substantial continental, and Davide makes the best coffee. He will also carry your bags up the 73 steps to the apartment - and down when you leave! Grazie mille! 🙂 The location is ideal for cafes, restaurants, the waterfront and main historical sites. Do make the effort to go to Miramare Castle and grounds on the #6 bus from the bus station; the view across the Gulf of Trieste is beautiful.

    Thanks very much! We really enjoyed it and can only recommend B&B Gens Julia! We really appreciated the air conditioning, as it was very hot in Trieste these days. Since the accommodation is on the 3rd floor, it is only suitable for visitors who are able to walk well!

    The perfect place to stay in Trieste. Just a couple of minutes walk to centro but away from the noise and crowds. You won’t find a better host anywhere than Davide ! So kind and helpful. The rooms are great and he makes you a nice breakfast. And … a private secure parking garage! We absolutely loved it.

    Lack of an elevator. The host was very kind and helped us with the luggage.

    It is located right in the centre of the town. Davide helped us with the parking offering a place in the garage for a modic fee ( which I strongly recommend reserving since parking spaces are very hard to find). The room was nice, I liked the design.

    This B&B is located in the heart of the Old City, which makes it perfect for couples who want to explore the romantic side of Trieste. It's near the San Giusto cathedral on one side and Piazza dell'Unita on the other, and roaming around those two, you can find many charming shops, cafes, trattorias, and osterias. The room was spacious and comfortable, and so was the bed, and the bathroom was clean and tidy. We had an Italian breakfast with various sweet pastries, fruit yogurts, juices, and fantastic coffee. However, the owner did offer to make it more continental if we were up for it. But the best thing about this accommodation was Davide, his wife, and his mom, who were super friendly and helpful. One notion: the apartment is on the third floor of the building without the elevator, so bear that in mind when booking if you have any walking impairment.

    Breakfast could be abundant and healthier.

    Location was excellent, just a short walk to the main square. Room was very clean and bathroom had everything you need for short stay. Parking in garage cost 5€ per day, that's super useful to have in centre od Trieste. The host was nice.
