Nice and stylish
Nice and stylish hotel in Trieste, with a great location with easy access to the city center. Parking is nearby but is external and expensive.
The room offered and covered all needs.
Breakfast was nice and the service was great.
Perfect location. Clean and the staff is exceptional.

Great location close to shops, restaurants and tours. Hotel staff friendly and courteous and have a smorgasbord breakfast at adjoining Bistro for 16 euro.
Big disappointment was the quality of food and lack of fresh fruit and vegetables. Had dinner at three different venues around hotel with very average offerings at high price (20 - 30 Euros each).

The Modernist Hotel is perfectly situated in the center of Trieste. Everything of interest can be reached without car or official transportation. We liked the interior of the hotel as well as the super friendly personnel at the reception and in the bar and breakfast corner.
