Staff was very helpful and informative, hotel is located right beside a 24hr parking garage and the train station for day trips to Cinque Terre. Gym was well equipped and clean
Perfect location to access the train or downtown. Perfect access to parking garage.
Room was recently renovated so is beautiful. Just the air-conditioning could be a little colder.
The team was so welcoming and helpful to my family and I. The property was beautiful and it is he perfect place to home base if exploring the Cinque Terre.
Very close to the train station. Very comfortable and clean.

It ’s in a great location and the property was nice. However we had issues with the AC at night. It did not keep the room cool at all. Mentioned it to the staff and they said it was fixed but we still could not get the air to run long enough at night. Thinking management had an override control in place. But during the day the room was actually cold. Also had a very slow shower drain that we told the front desk about. Maintenance came but the drain remained very slow to empty.
The hotel was gorgeous- the staff was amazing, the location was perfect. There was one flaw. The WiFi was horrible on every floor except the lobby - it was constantly dropping and since cell signal in the area was bad we would have trouble utilizing the internet to find restaurants, buy tickets etc…. I am sure they will get the WiFi fixed and those hotel will be great. Even with the WiFi issues, I highly recommend it.
We were only at the hotel for a short time, but the room was spacious and beautiful. I think it must’ve been a newer portion of the hotel. They had live music in the bar and it was just an overall great vibe.
Location 2 minutes from train central station, very convenient for day trip to any Cinque Terre
Also 2 minutes from restaurants and shopping’s
Quite place

Room was small, a larger person wouldn’t be able to maneuver in the shower as it was very, very small. Staff were friendly and helpful most spoke English.
We were there for just one night, but I really liked how hotel. It was clean, the staff was nice, we got there before check in time and they still gave us our room. The breakfast was included in the price and it was fabulous. Not just your typical continental breakfast. I loved that it was a couple of minutes from the train station. Very convenient. The only thing I did not like is that the shower was fixed to the wall and I like the removable ones. Other than that, the hotel was awesome. I would definitely go back again.
Every thing was just ok. Rooms are small and elevator is really small hot water was very limited. The staff was very helpful as my husband forgot his phone and the staff were very helpful to get it delivered to us while we were in Rome
It is a beatiful hotel,excelent breakfast ,is a complete breakfast with so many óptions.location is incredible is in front of La spezia Centrale train station. Perfect to visit Cinque Terre. The room was very nice ,clean and with a walk in closet . The staff very helpful i recommend
We were in the upgraded portion of the hotel that had been changed to key cards from regular keys, but the air conditioning unit was very old and barely produced cold air. It was sweltering in the room so we wound up sleeping with the windows open at night, which cooked down the apartment. Spacious bathroom, lukewarm shower water but it was refreshing because the room was so hot! We picked this hotel for it's proximity to the train station and laundromat and free luggage storage and it was a great location. Just try not to spend a lot of time in the hotel!
