A Prime Experience We stayed at this hotel to meet a cruise ship, and it was an excellent experience in every way. However, the best part was the great location. It is an easy walking distance to all of the great shops and restaurants. Over flat walking surfaces, it is a close, easy walking distance to any location from the hotel. The exception is the Miramare Castle tour. We used a cab, however, there is an uphill trek to the castle which could prove challenging for some.

2nd time cruising out of Trieste. 2nd time staying at this awesome property. Classic facility with generous woodwork & heavy, quality hardware throughout. Excellent service & super conveniently across the street from the cruise dock.

An amazing 4 star hotel with the best location in Trieste and the most delicious breakfasts! Friendly staff and an outstanding Concierge Guilio Olenik who is one of the best Concierge’s I have experienced. He gave us fabulous advice on a walking tour of Trieste, a boat trip to Muggia, an excursion to Miramar and suggested restaurants and spots to stop for coffee and a snack and was so friendly and approachable. I highly rate him having been in the travel industry for many years. Trieste is under rated and we have loved our 3 days here! It is affordable, unspoilt and not as hectic as Venice, Milan, Rome and Florence! In a nutshell it is delightful! Staying at the beautiful 4 star Savoia Excelsior Palace is a must - walking distance to great restaurants, sightseeing, shopping and ferry departures.

The only reason less than 5 stars is because air conditioning continued to give us trouble. After a third complaint, a fellow came to the room and changed the filter. It began to work far better, though we when we went out for the day we came back to the room warm again. After calling the desk, it was turned down and cooled sufficiently once more… the room is beautiful, though the carpet could do with a good cleaning - wore slippers throughout the room stay. Breakfast was nice. Outstanding fluffy towels and robes. Excellent water front location. Would definitely stay here again.
