We stayed for two nights at the Nuovo Albergo Centro and were very pleased to be guests there. The hotel is quite basic, but everything that it does promise it delivers well. The rooms are basic, but well cared for and very clean. The baths are shared, but (again) are clean and tidy. (There was a sink in our room so we only had to use the shared bathrooms to bathe and for the toilet.) The free breakfast is basic, but just fine. The staff is friendly and English-speaking. The location of the hotel is fantastic, within reasonable walking distance of all of the attractions in central Trieste (and the best gelato that we've ever had - I can't name the gelateria in this review, but if you search Trieste + Gelato you'll find it.) In short, if you come to this place with the right expectations, you'll likely be delighted.
