The room wasn't that clean. Shower floor was filthy. Plug sockets hanging off wall.

The location was excellent. Close to everything you need.

Noise at night from bars into the early hours

Proximity to central area

Stayed in May 2024

I could hear noises in hallway when people were entering or leaving so I suppose more sound dampening.

Breakfast was continental style but quite good and ample food and drink

Just a tip. Rooms in 5 th floor do not have a lift so ask for one on a lower floor if you have heavy luggage or struggle with a spiral staircase.

Location really central. Staff very helpful. Room very comfortable. Breakfast was very satisfactory, plentiful with a good selection

I asked for twin beds but got a double.

The location is excellent. The staff was good but not English speaking. The breakfast was very substantial and included.

We found nothing to criticise

The location of the hotel was ideal being situated in the centre of the town and within easy walking distance of the station and with many good bars and restaurants close by. The hotel had a very pleasant old world feel to it, which was lovely. Without exception, the staff were friendly and helpful. The breakfast was very good with a good selection of food.

Calm & cosy even in the centre of town. I would definitely stay at the James Joyce again.

At night, because the hotel is located in a small side street, it can get a bit (very) noisy, depending on which party passes by.

Upon arrival I was a bit disappointed to learn that this small hotel had no special connection at all to James Joyce apart from its name and the fact that while living in Trieste the Irish writer liked to hang out in the neighborhood. That said, the location is rather convenient to reach anything in center city within minutes walking. My room, although being out of reach of the elevator (which only goes to the second-highest floor), was spacious and comfortable, with some water bottles provided, as well as a generous number of towels. The breakfast was so so, ... it starts at 7:30 am, and a few times items were often missing at the beginning. Sometimes there was no fruit (apart from perhaps a mandarine), sometimes no egg (which when it did exist was usually dry and not expertly prepared). Most items were exactly the same on the five mornings, even the music ... always the one CD by the "Jazz Liberators," a certain lack of inspiration that unfortunately permeates the place, which would benefit from someone shaking things up a little, especially the dull breakfast, at hardly any extra cost.

Less noise would have been better, but in Italy you accept/forgive that :)

The hotel is very well located, in a nicely renewed historic building. The neighbourhood is very lively and full of local people, having a drink, coffee, or eating out. Sea is very close too. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Good places and real Italian vibe are in the neighbourhood.

The location was very central and close some really cool wine bars. The breakfast had a small but nice selection of food and the coffee was freshly made to order. It was a perfect stay for a weekend trip.

The shower tray was leaky. This is a small issue and certainly didn't negatively affect our stay. I would highly recommend this hotel.

Excellent hotel. Very helpful and friendly staff, really lovely. Great location. The room was clean and modern. Very cosy, well heated. Had a small refrigerator. The en suite has all mod cons.
