Hotel Città di Parenzo
A lovely little hotel, five minutes walk from the city centre. Incredibly friendly staff and very quiet. Do be prepared for a few unavoidable stairs.

NH Trieste
Second time at this hotel. I recommend it. The only reason I didn’t give 5 stars is the fact that the dining room is closed Saturday and Sunday (except for breakfast).
