Beds were comfortable and everything was very clean. Because it’s an old building the floors are extremely creaky and loud, so if you are in a room with other people it will be very loud whenever they walk around.

Controvento is a really good, traditional small scale hostel and it does everything right as an establishment of this type. The rooms are nice and the beds are comfortable, the common room is incredibly cozy and comfortable and the kitchen has everything you need to make good meals, they even have a dishwasher. Free breakfast is included which is very nice and you could even get free towels and earplugs, furthermore the staff is very helpful and friendly. All in all it's a very good experie...

Hermoso hostel en el corazón de Trieste. A pasos del casco histórico de la ciudad, de la lungomare y con mucha vida nocturna cerquita. El hostel muy limpio, ofrecen desayuno súper completo. Es pequeño, tiene una sala de estar hermosa. Se manejan ya al entrar buenas vibras💖

Really nice hostel clean tidy location is fantastic. Trieste isn’t a huge place anyway but everything you need is very walkable. As a solo traveller making a quick pit stop it was perfect, if you’re looking for some “life” and atmosphere don’t stay here it’s very quiet and everyone tucks themselves into bed by like 9pm

Todo genial, muy bien ubicado cerca de la estación central y en un lugar privilegiado, es un palacio precioso, eso sí, hay que subir 3 pisos a pie, pero vale la pena.

Overall really good property really enjoyed my stay here - the staff were very friendly and very helpful when we arrived. The only downside was that there was only 1 toilet and shower for our room of 10 so often meant having to wait to use the facilities however was not a major issue.

The Controvento's in a perfect location for anyone wanting to see the historic part of Trieste and sample its restaurants and cafes. The hostel's located in what was once the Serbian embassy which gives it a unique charm. It's also a fifteen minute walk from the train station. For those wanting to prepare their own meals, it has a good kitchen. The staff was friendly and very helpful. The dorm rooms were spacious and the common room, with its couches was a comfortable place to hang out.

There are no curtains or privacy shields in front of the beds like in some other hostels but other than that everything was perfect.
