Hotel Vis à Vis

Stayed one night in Room 12 with a partial view of the Adriatic. This is the 4 star building of the 5 star Grand Duchy d’Aosta right next door. Since you check in and use the Grand Duchy Concierge, it is a 5 star experience. Elevator servicing all floors. Small, but luxerious rooms, towels, sheets, beds. Quite with double windows. Cannot hear a sound from busy traffic below. Safe and well lit area also. You are steps from Harry’s Bar, Bistro and Michelin star restaurant. Right on the PiazzaUnita d’Italia with the grand Hapsburg palaces lining both sides. Great shopping, restaurants, cafes within steps and most on pedestrian fondly streets. If you are arriving or departing by ferry, the terminal is a flat 300 metres away. If by taxi, he will drop you on your front step Highly Recommend.

We arrived in Trieste from travelling to Venice from London Heathrow. Upon arrival you have to check into the grand hotel greeted by a very lovely young lady, extremely elegant and polite. Was given our key to room 3, young lad took us over the road to the Vis a Vis swipe your room key just over the control panel, as door is locked at night, otherwise during the day the doors just open automatically. We got into our room and it was painted a really dark grey paint, a little depressing as we had no lookout just a wall, it’s down a sidewalk. Weird wardrobe with no doors and if you have long dresses you have to hang them where the coffee machine is along with the safe, and two drawers. Downside if you have long hair then take your own hairdryer as the basic one is plugged into the bathroom wall, coming from England I still find this so uncomfortable with electric and water!!! Also another drawback there’s no mirror to sit at a dressing table to do your makeup, also hard to do makeup with the dark room or a long mirror to see how your dressed. Jacuzzi bath didn’t work also only a 3/4 size bath, shower is badly designed as it’s tucked into the corner of the shower screen so you can’t actually stand under it!!! Also sink plug doesn’t work so for my partner to shave you just had to run the tap waste off water. The toilet water was very severe so when you flushed it the water came over the front of the loo. Also glass sliding panel so you can see everything from the bed. Not great if your with a friend or new partner to see you sitting on the loo 🤣 When we returned later that night omg the room was lit up as no blind in bathroom had the brackets up but nothing at the window, so bedroom was bright as the alleyway was now alight with the bar and street lights, then once your in bed the control panel was a blaze of green light. I reported all the faults the next morning, she typed it onto the computer and offered to move us to room 4 but what’s the point as it’s a replica room only difference would be that the jacuzzi bath worked but you had to be about 4ft tall to use it. We didn’t book breakfast and glad we didn’t as room wasn’t very inviting and why would you with so many fantastic cafes and bars to eat and drink at, not expensive to eat and drink in Trieste. So to summarise my findings great location for the centre of Trieste and only 10 mins walk from train station. Trieste is stunning. Hotel expensive for room size and fittings.

Good location of the hotel. If you want to have a sea view from your room, then you should consider another hotel. View from most of the windows are directed to an ally and neighbor building. You might be able to see what other people have for dinner :) The room was cleaned every day - good pillows and medium soft bed. Have not tested the AC - since I like to sleep with window open. It was a free minibar in the room - with soft drinks included (at least what we have been told at arrival). Hotel does not have a reception, it shares the reception with Grand Hotel, just on the other side of the road - approx 20 meters of walking distance. The hotel does not have its own restaurant (since it is boutique - obviously) - so you can have the breakfast at Grand Hotel. Very expensive - €25 for a rather small selection and unfortunately, if you want to have anything besides, such as scrambled eggs - you will need to pay additional €7 for a tiny portion.

We stayed one night at the VisaVis before boarding our cruise ship. The hotel is a 5 minute walk to the terminal and a block from the ocean. The rooms are very clean, a bit small but very comfortable. Also close to many restaurants and shopping. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Absolutely zero street noise or from neighboring rooms. Highly recommend.

Wunderschönes kleine Hotel mitten in Triest. Schöne Zimmer, gute Austattung, ruhig. Freundliches Personal, sehr um die Gäste bemüht. Reichhaltiges Frühstücksbuffet. In der Lobby Kaffee und Wasser zur freien Verfügung. Rezeption nicht durchgehend besetzt, wird dann im Nachbarhaus (Duchi d'Aosta) übernommen. Alles fußläufig (oder per Bus) gut erreichbar.

Wir haben für eine Nacht ein Deluxe-Zimmer im Hotel Vis a Vis in Triest gebucht und waren begeistert. Sehr freundliches Personal im gesamten Haus, sehr schönes und sauberes Zimmer, großes Badezimmer, perfekte Auswahl beim Frühstück, Personal beim Frühstück extrem bemüht und freundlich! Jederzeit wieder - Preis/Leistung bei diesem Hotel auf jeden Fall entsprechend!!!! Aufgrund von vorigen Bewertungen auch auf "Lärm aus dem unteren Bereich" geachtet - wir hatten ein absolut ruhiges Zimmer!!!!

Ci siamo stati in famiglia. Una stanza per me e mia moglie ed una doppia ad uso singola per mia cognata. La nostra stanza pulita ma con la finestra che praticamente dava contro il palazzo di fronte: buia e claustrofobica.Materassi mediocri, letto piccolo e materassi separati. Servizio PESSIMO! In due notti non hanno ripristinato il frigobar, non hanno rimesso il bagnoschiuma e ce ne era solo uno da pochi ml. Appena arrivati abbiamo riscontrato che al rubinetto nella stanza di mia cognata mancava la leva per aprirlo e gli scarichi di bidet e lavandino non stavano aperti e per svuotarli bisognava togliere il tappo con le unghie. Fatto presente e chiesta un'altra stanza, abbiamo dovuto richiamare noi la reception per sapere qualcosa. Alla fine ci han prima cercato di intortare dicendo che era normale e poi dimostrato che nel nostro bagno io e mia moglie avevamo la leva e il saltarello funzionava. Abbiamo scelto di non avere l'idraulico in stanza perché dovevamo prepararci per uscire e riposare un pochino. Ci eravamo già stati due volte e ci eravamo trovati bene prima del COVID: ora non é all'altezza del prezzo. anche al saldo nessuna empatia per il problema e nessuno sconto. Altro che "4 hotel" di B. Barbieri!

Senz'altro questo Hotel collegato al Relais & Châteaux Grand Hotel Duchi d'Aosta offre camere non molto grandi, ma la posizione, a pochissimi metri da Piazza dell'UNità, è davvero fantastica. Le camere potrebbero essere migliorate soprattutto in quei dettagli che dovrebbero essere di default in un 4 stelle. Mi riferisco alla presenze del set e delle ciabatte. In complesso buon rapporto qualità prezzo

Sicuramente il punto di forza di questa struttura è la posizione adiacente la piazza Unità d'Italia. Non hanno un parcheggio privato, ma sono convenzionati con Interparking Italia Srl Park San Giusto, nel quale si può avere uno sconto. Abbiamo effettuato il Check-In nella struttura principale, mentre noi abbiamo soggiornato nella dependance che si trova subito di fronte. La struttura è stata rinnovata con gusto. Camera non proprio grande e spaziosa, ma pulitissima ed estremamente luminosa. Personale gentile e disponibile. Non mi sembra di aver recepito durante la prenotazione che avremmo soggiornato nella depandance, ma lascio il beneficio del dubbio. Il blocco principale ha la vista sulla piazza principale.
