Reviews of Arcobaleno Trieste Via Udine 19

The room itself was clean but relatively small.

The building lobby was horrific. It’s a room with tile floor, broken windows, and residue from construction. It’s looks like it must have looked during war time.

Nice room, shared kitchen with free snacks and drinks. Close to the city centre

The building is degradeted and the area is not great. The room was too expensive compared to what was offered.

The location is really perfect, specially if your arrival is by train or bus, given that both stations are literally around the corner. Sandra is really careful with details and everything was clean and ready to use. There were fruits and snacks, a fridge and all required stuff to prepare coffee, tea or warm up food at the microwave. The bathroom is tiny but new and clean. There were fresh towels, aircon and a tv that we never turned on, but I guess is a plus. On the last day we needed to find what to do with our luggage and fortunately it was possible to keep it in a little room, something very helpful in order to join a bus tour before our train. Sandra waited us after the tour, so that we could return after the check out to pick up the luggage. We found that helpful and nice from her.

It may look old at the beginning, but once you step on the apartment and specially the cozy dining area your impression changes.

The room and bathroom was so clean as was the kitchen. It was really nice to have access 24/7 to be able to have a little snack, yoghurt etc plus a cup of tea.

Reasonably close to the station but a bit of an uphill climb. Facilities were quite satisfactory

A bit of a walk to the centre of town and in a bit of a grungy neighbourhood. The number of keys required to access the room was excessive and difficult to come to terms with.

Modern, spotless clean and close to railway station.

Building is a bit run down

The room and apartment were fine with a large bathroom (room 1). The apartment was (as stated) 5 minutes from the bus and train stations and 20 minutes walk to the centre. Clear instructions of how to gain access to the apartment and room.

The entrance to the apartment was grim and in a state of disrepair and the front door handle had come apart. The breakfast materials provided were adequate, and great if you like sweet things (not my preference).

Great room, and it was super nice to have coffee and some breakfast snacks and drinks available. Easy access and parking close by.

Everything. I had no WiFi nor data to call host but luckily Sandra called me and let me in remotely after I rang the doorbell. Generous amount of cakes, fruit, snacks, tea, coffee laid out. Cream, butter, yoghurt, soda, drinks, bottle of wine in fridge. Kitchenette has microwave, air fryer but no hob. 3 mins walk to big supermarket Pam and buses to Miramar Castle, centre of town, etc. Need to bus ticket before boarding as the app Tplfvg didn't work.

Had Instructions to get keys to enter apartment but not the first 2 doors of the building. Need a phone to call the host but luckily Sandra called me as I had neither WiFi nor phone data. Room a bit cramp for 3 to put suitcases, a lot of furniture in the room. Noisy traffic with window open at times.

Near to train station Nice towels

There could be an upgrade to the breakfast, maybe eggs or some cheese or fresh milk. Not the best soundproofing

Clean. New shower. Big bad.

It would be nice if the kitchen had more equipment.

It’s a very lovely place and very good location! Breakfast and food are always available and it’s so good. Place is clean and very pretty, we loved it here!

Very good location, Sandra was very good host , kind and honest. Good communication through WhatsApp. Even though the entrance and amount of keys to get in is atrocious, the place is comfortable and clean .

It was clean, great location and the host was really nice :).

The pillows were really hard :(((.

Close to train station, and easy walking distance to city center and main sites

None

The apartment was very nice, clean and bright. The Continental breakfast was good as well as the coffee ☕ Sara, the host was very nice 🙂

The entrance to the building was kind of scary. At first, I thought we were in a horror movie and Jason or Freddy Krueger were going to come through one of the lobby doors. It was an old historic building. The facade was nice but the lobby was not welcoming at all. Pretty scary! The fact that you needed 5 keys to enter the building/apartment was not inviting. Once we entered the apartment, we felt safe. The bedroom just needs some minor touch ups. The bedroom was clean, except for the floors. They were very dusty and the bed could use some new and more comfortable pillows. The bathroom towels were clean but didn't smell fresh, nor were they soft.

Great location (close to train station), wide bed and modern bathroom.

Very strong smell of laundry detergent (bed linen and towels). In the kitchen there were some things in the fridge and on the table but I could not understand what I can take as some of them were from people from other 2 rooms in that appartment. So I did not take anything. There is an elevator but you can access it only with a key you can get on the 3rd floor (2nd in Italy). If you travel alone you should be able to carry your suitcase up.

Very well located for the Train Station. We also enjoyed the warm welcome of the basic but clean and inexpensive cafe/bar at the top of the street. €3.50 for a very good Aperol Spritz has to be the best value in Trieste.

This is NOT a Hotel nor, arguably, should it be described as a Guest House. ‘Guest House’ suggests there is a Host and usually a Reception Desk, but in reality, and for all impractical purposes, this is an Air BnB comprising of three en-suite rooms situated on the second floor of an old and quite run-down residential apartment building that (WARNING !) cannot be accessed without a mobile phone. I would say this establishment is NOT suitable for elderly, physically infirm/unfit people who do not possess and/or cannot proficiently use a mobile phone. Unlike those who ‘Reveiwed’ this ‘Guest House’ favourably, there was no one to greet us upon arrival, nor at any other time. In fact, the ONLY contact we had with the reportedly wonderful Landlady (Sandra) extended to phone message exchanges via WhatsApp informing us how to access the apartment, the location of the breakfast snacks and where to leave the €8.00 local tax payment on departure. Accessing the building via the main door from the street was achieved by dialling the (free) phone number shown on the wall outside, which automatically activates the door releases. Once inside, one must climb two exhausting floors of old stone stairs in order to obtain a bunch of keys from a number-coded lock-box secured to the outer doors of the apartment complex. The other of us remained downstairs guarding the luggage. (Note that the lift cannot be used without using one of the keys on the aforementioned bunch). Reunited on the ground floor, we then took our luggage upstairs in the small lift. Inside the apartment complex, our room (#3) was clean and refurbished in a modern style. It had a well appointed but VERY cramped bathroom which was not easily accessed via a sliding door situated very close to the foot of an angular metal-framed bed that delighted in stubbing toes.

A comfortable clean en-suite room in a very dilapidated 19C apartment block.

The lack of clarity about the shared entrance with refugees?
