Good shout out to the 2 ladies who checked me in upon arrival - extremely friendly and helpful! Walking distance to the train station and all the cool cafes & restaurants. Small but tastefully designed room. Wall is so thin that one could hear my neighbour talking next door. Would suggest to the mgt to perhaps consider putting a water kettle in all the rooms.

We choose The Poets Hotel as we had stayed there previously. It is well located, near the main station in La Spezia to explore the region. The hotel is comfortable and our room was spacious. The evening reception staff were friendly and helpful. Checking in and out was very straightforward. Reasonably priced for services offered.

The location was excellent for our trip to Cinque Terre, an easy walk to the train station. The staff were lovely and helpful. Parking was tight even for our small rental car but it was doable and super convenient to the hotel. You have to reserve in advance as there are only a few spaces. We also loved the prosecco we got as VIP Expedia members. It was a fun stay.
