About

ControVento is a brand new hostel located in the historical centre of the Trieste, just in front of the sea. The main square, piazza Unità, is at 5 minutes walk and the nightlife is literally out of the door. Inside, all the precious details of the 19th century building meet the minimalist handmade furnishing and some vintage touch.

ControVento has a perfect location in the centre of Trieste, all the main attractions are at walking distance. The so called Cittàvecchia neighborhood is at 500 metres distance from the main square and offers shops, bars, restaurants, but also atm, supermarket, pharmacy... Nearby you can find interesting art galleries, museums (Revoltella, Sartorio, Marine Aquarium, Oriental Art, Alinari Image) and Salone degli Incanti exhibition hall. San Giusto castle and its cathedral are 10 min walk uphill.

The vibe is very laid back an homie: there are only 6 bedrooms with 3 shared bathrooms, one for women and one for men, and an equipped kitchen. There is also a big open space filled with natural light, books, music and plants where everyone can chill-out and meet new friends! Last but not least, the breakfast is included and the wi-fi is free and reliable.

Great beds and comfy linens. Cool common area to chill, even after checking out. Just a few minute walk from seafront as well as lots of bars and food spots. Staff were very friendly and breakfast and towel was included! Great hostel.

Friendly staff. Good location near the seafront and many restaurants. The weather was very hot but the dorm was well supplied with fans. Perhaps the bathrooms be better ventilated.

Great hostel thank you! Super clean, staff were helpful, great location next to the city. Facilities were great and everyone was very friendly, albeit not the most social hostel I’ve ever stayed at.
