Very conveniently located near main plaza and water. We were on the fourth floor but there's an elevator. Room was basically just a bed but bathroom was modern and well laid out. There's no common space to hang out in - except the breakfast room. All in all, a well-priced, convenient, pleasant place.

Good for a one-night pre-cruise stay

The location of Hotel James Joyce is good- walking distance to many attractions. However, it is located in an alley which could be difficult to find for the first time.

The room while clean is basic and small. The bathroom is clean. The amenities are basic.

Nadine- the front desk staff is helpful and friendly too.

However, I may not choose this Hotel again if and when we return to Trieste in the future.

This is a small, unique hotel with wonderfully friendly staff and cute, small rooms with character. We only stayed one night, but had a nice stay and appreciated the hospitality. If you have a room on the 5th floor like we did, you’ll have to walk up one narrow, winding flight of stairs past the elevator limit of the 4th floor, so anyone with concerns about that should ensure they request a room on the 4th floor or below. The room was small but cute, and we thought the amenities were decent for the price. Overall, a good experience for a quick overnight stay before boarding a cruise—nothing fancy, but good nonetheless!

Air conditioners don’t work efficiently

First of all I want the say the receptionist Valentina was fabulous but not being paid enough to deal with problems.
Overall a good hotel but it was a 38 degree Celsius day and air con not working, air con in corridor was very cool but the stories kept changing and we got no relief from the heat, it was too uncomfortable. We asked to speak to the Manager but not forth coming, poor service and won’t be back 👎

This is a very unique boutique hotel. Be prepared to walk a bit. Also it is somewhat hidden in an alley. If you can handle walking get the fifth floor . Elevator only goes to 4 so you have a climb up the winding staircase but the church bells at that level are awesome. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Would book again.

The staff of Hotel James Joyce were very, very accommodating. I sent them a message originally stating my flight was coming in past check in time and they said they would wait. However when my flight from London was delayed an extra hour because of weather, I called them as soon as I landed. It's a small hotel with a small staff and they left me a note at the front desk to call their personal cell when I got there. They even spoke English for this American. The hotel is in a little alley and if it was anywhere else it would seem suspect but I felt safer there even walking back at 1am, than I do in my hometown.

Cozy room in excellent location.

We had a very nice but short stay the night before our cruise.
The location is excellent, just steps from the main piazza and cruise port.
The staff was very friendly and helpful. We were able to check in early which allowed us to take a nap after our journey.
There is an elevator. The room was efficient and clean. The bed and pillows were very comfortable.
The only negative is that sound carried throughout the building and we were able to hear many conversations from our 3rd floor room well into the night.
We would definitely stay there again if ever in Trieste.
