Urban Hotel Design is fourth on our scoring — a short walk, not a breakfast or a ride. Our walking route from Androna Chiusa to the Stazione Marittima is about 0.2 miles (0.4 km), roughly 5 minutes, and it's it prints its city tax up front: €3.30 (about US$4) a person a night for up to five nights in a row, the same 4-star rate as the City of Trieste's 2026 table.
It's a 47-room 4-star in the old town, and it's candid about what it lacks. There's no parking of its own — it sends drivers to Park San Giusto, under 200 m away, at €24.00 (about US$25) per 24 hours, or offers valet at €35.00 (about US$40) a night.
Breakfast runs 7:00 to 10:00 without a word on inclusion. Bags are held free, and the room phone calls the US and Canada free too.
Book it for the walk to the ship, and price breakfast before you compare it with the two that include it.

- You need breakfast confirmed in the rate.
