The Lion's Den

A small bed and breakfast with three or four individually designed rooms at the end of a pedestrian street in central Trieste, run by host Cristian.

Why people love it

• Cristian and family. Guests name Cristian, Susanna, Bianca and his father. They describe tips on seeing the city and breakfasts prepared by the family.
• Breakfast. Guests call it fabulous, with cakes, scrambled eggs and freshly made cappuccino. One guest called it the best breakfast of their travels.
• Themed design rooms. One 2023 guest named the Tiger and Fish rooms, and others call the interior a masterpiece.
• Pedestrian zone. Guests say the location is central, in the pedestrian zone, a short walk from Cala Grande.

The worst thing guests say

Every one of the 33 reviews with text is 5 stars. The complaints are practical: an entrance code in a building that also houses a cinema, and difficulty unloading luggage because the street is pedestrian. A 2023 guest said the garage 300 meters away was suitable only for small cars.

Insider tips

• The street is pedestrian, so you can only drop luggage a few meters from the entrance.
• A garage is a 5-minute walk away. One guest in 2023 said it is tight for larger cars.
• The entrance is inconspicuous and uses a code.
