Hotel Riviera & Maximilian's

酒店景色非常好！

We were on a road trip through large parts of Italy. Nice convertible, top food and beautiful country as always. But it was 38° outside and we needed tow days at the beach. Coming down from Venice we are looking for a cool place around Trieste with guaranteed top sea access. We did not mind paying (July, no advance booking) for quality and after some search, we booked two nights in a suite at the hotel. Look at the rates, but what did it was the direct lift to the sea from the cliff top, Sorrento style. God, do I regret the money and those two days ! First disappointment were the rooms. I cannot call it a suite: just two adjacent narrow rooms, one with sea view but not comfortable with two sofas and a small desk, the bedroom being on the rear, no view. And a small bathroom straight form the seventies including a small shower with light aluminium doors. No bathtub. Well, after all there is the beach. We arrived late afternoon hot and exhausted, got some plastic cards from reception to get loungers and towels. Took the lift and the doors opened to a paying public beach, a bar with awfully bad and loud live music. No towels, the reception was closed (17:30). Went back up (small and slow lift, lots of people form the public beach), requested towels from reception. Went back down and tried to enjoy sunset while the band was playing and the manager started to close loungers and making us feel we had overextended our stay. I could go on and on. I won't. We ate out as we did not want to take any more risks. All in all worth about a tenth of the price we paid.

We spent one night at Maximilian Suites before a cruise. Our room was a complete apartment with a kitchen, living room, bedroom and bathroom. The suite was gorgeous with spectacular views! The front desk staff and restaurant staff were friendly and accommodating. I wish we were staying longer!

In my recent sojourn at the 'Riviera' hotel, I found myself lamenting the absence of anticipated opulence. The dearth of direct sea access, compounded by a staircase seemingly leading astray, left me wanting. The demeanor of the reception staff, regrettably, lacked the warmth and courtesy expected of hospitality professionals. Furthermore, the state of disrepair within the room, marked by worn-out furnishings and amenities, failed to meet the discerning standards of a purported four-star establishment. Additionally, the arduous path to the beach posed challenges, particularly for those with health concerns, underscoring accessibility issues. Moreover, the hotel's apparent disregard for sustainable practices left a palpable void in its commitment to environmental stewardship. In sum, my experience fell short of the promised grandeur, presenting ample opportunity for introspection and improvement.

Beautiful sea-view hotel with a nice garden. Quiet and cozy rooms with an amazing ambiance. Staff are very kind and helpful especially Tommy who designed and served an amazing breakfast payed attention to all tiny details to make our time wonderful.

We have been there during the barcolana regatta - it was the best place to be. take a seaview- bedroom - from your room and the Terrasse you are overlooking the adriatic sea, Triest and Miramare Castle If you go there - please Thomas - your waiter at breakfast - my regards, very friendly and helpful!
