I booked Solun for second time. The hotel is nice, The lobby is voluminous and stylish. The room was under the roof (pitched ceiling) very charming (single room on 4th floor). Correct breakfast, friendly and helpful staff.

Absolutely great, uncomplicated place, the location, the idea behind the design, and the staff is fantastic. Loved it.

Please sort out the cleaning and the maintenance in the rooms and you will be among the best places to stay in Trieste.

The room was a good size and comfortable Good shower although no hair products Breakfast different every day with a variety of choice Good location, close to water front and about 15 mins walk from the station A kettle was provided in the room along with tea and coffee

There were very few electric sockets We had to put the kettle on the floor to plug it in No plug near a mirror to use hair tongs The hotel had advertised a bar and restaurant We never saw the restaurant open or anybody working behind the bar No shelves or cupboards in room to put clothes I put mine on a chair

The hotel is centrally situated and within easy reach of the waterfront. I arrived by rail replacement bus at the main station and it did take me a while to find it. Staff were pleasant and helpful. The breakfast was adequate.

This comment is in relation to the room in which I stayed and is not, I am sure, typical of other rooms in the upper part of the hotel. I was a lone traveller and I would imagine for this reason my room unfortunately had roof support rafters running diagonally through it. I had a double bed but should I have been fortunate enough to have had a a room mate she would have been unfortunate enough to have spent her time ducking under the rafters in order to pass alongside the bed and may well have hit her head getting out of bed if not fully awake! A shame as I have nothing else adverse to comment upon.

This is a very good hotel ideally placed between the historical center of Trieste and its bus & railway station. I stayed in a single room (no. 404), in the attic as I understand all singles are in this hotel. That didn’t bother me much, although the sloped roof caused me to bump my head into one of the several beams in the room more than a couple of times. Other than that, the room is by no means small, by Italian standards, nor is the bed which is somewhere in between a single and a double bed. The room is well lit (quite rare nowadays) and well equipped, the tea & coffee jug, the safe, and mini-fridge proving really useful. The bathroom is really big, not only by Italian standards, but European ones as well. The water pressure in shower was very good. I cannot fault the cleanliness in either room or bathroom. The breakfast was outstanding for a 4* hotel! I would point out the hot buffet that was (in part) different every day from the day before, which it typical of 5* hotels. The personnel both at reception and the breakfast room was helpful and smiling. All in all, if ever again in the beautiful city of Trieste I will stay again at Solun Hotel.

The outer part of the entrance door to my room was damaged, I had to pull or push forcefully to open or close the door. The reception was aware of the problem, they said it would be solved soon. Storage in room was somehow insufficient in my opinion, with the rather-original wardrobe not to my liking. Bath towels could be of a superior quality. The breakfast room is in the bar on the ground floor, that is adjacent to the hotel entrance. During winter it can get cool or a little windy in there. It’s a pity the hot varieties at breakfast are not kept in heated facilities, so they get cold fairly soon, especially in winter. A small investment in this respect is clearly needed. TV stopped working the day prior to my leaving, but I did not bother much.

Excellent location for exploring main sights of Trieste, eating and drinking options along the Grand Canal close by and shopping. Trieste Old Town is very grand and coffee options are everywhere. Hotel provides an excellent breakfast. Reception staff very helpful explaining walking routes to sights with the map they provided. Half day trip to Castello Miramare by local bus was worth it even in the rain. Beautiful views over sea back to Trieste. Visit to Museo Revoltella to view private art collection in a elegant palace was interesting. Late afternoon boat ride to Muggia for a walk around the village and a seafood dinner was overrated as most cafes were already closed on 09/09/24.

The breakfast was exceptional, certainly the best of my trip. Shower also. Was a tad concerned about the beams that I almost bumped my head on every time I got out of bed. Staff A!

The only problem I had was getting lost...my fault not yours !

Nice breakfast - especially some gluten free options and brilliant coffee! Comfy bed with little noise from other rooms or outside at night. Good air conditioning (it was 34 degrees during our stay!) Staff were helpful and pleasant!

Poor facilities in room for the price and not in keeping with the rest of the quality - small bottles of shower gel, poor quality towels, instant coffee. Just lacked the finishing touches given how grand it looks when you arrive!

The breakfasts were very good and changed daily. All of the reception staff were very friendly and helpful. They must get asked the same questions over and over again. Very good at calling for a taxi and booking dinners. Recommended a restaurant just around the corner which was much better than walking to the centre.

The hot water urn for tea was not always working but I was given a teapot of hot water to compensate.

Location was an easy flat 5/10 minute walk to the waterside/port. We had an overnight stay and headed to the port area for restaurants - which was very pleasant. Hotel was comfortable, staff were very welcoming. Breakfast had a small but nice selection - perfectly adequate for the hotel. 10 minute flat walk to the train station.

Room was quite dark - only a problem for two of us trying to do make up etc. at the same time, as the bedroom lighting was very low. Although there are external windows, our room faced an internal courtyard, so it was naturally very dark. A few small changes with lighting would make a big improvement. Otherwise all was great with the hotel.
