    Everything was just almost perfect

    I liked everything, but they could offer ground coffee for the guests since it is not so convenient to buy ground coffee if you are staying for just a few days.

    The place is fantastic. Everything is very cosy, and the common areas have a beautiful view of the city. The staff is super kind, and being able to leave our luggage and chill in the living room before the check-in time was a really positive surprise!

    I loved the common area. It's extremly well decorated and there's enough space for everyone. I've worked from the hostel and would recommend it for any digital nomads stopping by for a few days to visit Trieste. Also, I loved the music throughout the hostel, it gave such a chill and comfortable vibe. Will need to come back. ☺️

    Nothing. It's the loveliest hostel I have stayed in in years.

    In a world where most hostels are HUGE, ContraVento is small and intimate, yet has better facilities, and lots of space, and the staff are adorable. It's the first hostel I have been in such a long time that is decorated with care, and love, and inspiration. It's the first hostel I can ever remember that has down duvets. The top bunks are super high, but that means you have adult size below! The building is fab, so is the location. It has a PROPER kitchen, properly equipped! In a word, it's fabulous.

    If I would need to mention one thing that could be better I would say breakfast. But still, for the price of a stay, it is to be expected. I haven’t left hungry, anyway.

    I like the whole vibe of a hostel. It is placed in a historic building but still managed to keep hip ambience. I felt very comfortable and actually prefer to spend some time in a lounge room rather than in some bar outside. They really put effort in decorating the space.

    Nothing was bad. Floor squeaks a bit - so wear earplugs at night if you’re sensitive to noise

    Great hostel with great location! Nice breakfast every morning. The women in the reception are very nice and helpful. Big rooms, comfy beds, nice showers. Everything is great! Also they let me keep the key after check out cause I had a late flight - very kind of them!

    Floor in my room was rather squeaky - so a bit of a challenge not to wake my fellow roommates, loved everything else

    I didn’t realise breakfast was included - so that was a lovely surprise. The girls on the front desk were an absolute delight- friendly, helpful, knowledgeable, fun and and welcoming. Hostel was warm, clean and very central
