The Hostelz.com Review
Tergeste is clean, well maintained, and businesslike. This is not a party hostel, with little lobby area. Rooms are non-smoking and overlook the sea with large lockers. Showers are modern and adequate, although there is one per floor on open wing during low-season. Small breakfast is provided in dining area and the kitchen is not available in off-season.
The shore in front has a large promenade, busy with runners and cyclists. It leads to Miramare Castle and large park gardens above the sea. Bikes are available for hire in area, according to staff. Several high-end restaurants dot the coastal road in the other direction (back to town). Once you've done that, heading back to town is about the only option.
Trieste is an old port city with Austrian heritage evident in the architecture, mixed with the Italian large plaza opening up to the sea. Here you will find a tourist office, which has free maps and guides you'd expect to pay for. The Revolution Museum is full of Italian modern art and ends in a mansion. It's like two very different museums in one.
To get to the Tergeste HI hostel, purchase a bus ticket before leaving train station. Walk to the left as you exit the train station (the long-haul bus station is to the right of the train station). Wait at the stop next to the PAM supermarket. Make certain to validate your ticket with the stamping box once on bus. The hostel sells tickets for the return. The 36 bus runs about every twenty minutes starting at 6, and travels five kilometers on the busy coastal road. The road splits at the shore promenade, and you'll see an HI sign in the middle of that split pointing left to the hostel. Get off the bus here and walk along the very narrow shoulder back down to the shore promenade two hundred meters.

Hostelz.com Guest Reviews
The hostel was in a pretty great old building right at the beach and near this castle. The bus system was a bit limiting as only one line goes near the place and it stops at 9 o'clock at night. there is one however that gets you a few kilometers away that runs until 11. In my case, this inconvenience carried over to having to eat at the restaurant that the hostel had a deal with for 9.5 euros. When I got to the restaurant, they were closed and the hostel people couldn't tell me if my meal voucher would be good the next day, instead. I of course realize that it's my own fault, ultimately, and I devoured some cold bread the next morning during the 45 minute window to eat breakfast as the food arrived late. I would recommend this place to anyone who wants to see the Miramar Castle or sunbathe on the concrete slab. It was certainly clean. However, I would keep better track of time than I did. If you exit the train station. go left then left again. The bus stop is on the other side of the street that runs parallel with the train tracks. — Hugh , U.S. (2007-05-03) They say breakfast is included but unless you get down there before eight a.m. there will be nothing left, one pot of coffee for the whole hostel and few bread rolls. Bit too far out of town and do not try to check out first thing -- there'll be nobody there, we nearly missed our train trying to get someone to give us our cards back. — laura (2006-07-25) This hostel faces the sea and is near the castle, with large grounds. It's a good place to walk along water after a day in crowded Trieste. It's a well-run hostel: clean if a bit institutional. There's plenty of warm water in the shower. Breakfast is pastry, fruit and coffee. The city bus is fast to the city. — Scott (2005-03-31)
