Greif Hotel & Spa Trieste
Rooms are well appointed. Good location with the sea across the street and lots of dining options. Downstairs had a nice sauna, steam room and pool. The bar on the mainfloor had amazing drinks and super friendly staff. I will definitely stay here again.

NH Trieste
Second time at this hotel. I recommend it. The only reason I didn’t give 5 stars is the fact that the dining room is closed Saturday and Sunday (except for breakfast).
