La Spezia Hotels with Wi-Fi

We recently completed a trip through Europe by train staying in each country in four star hotels. The one hotel that stands out the most from all the rest was the Poet Hotel, La Spezia, Italy, unfortunately not for all the right reasons ! Although out of the seven hotels we stayed , the Poet was the most basic of all, in fact we'd be generous giving it a three star. The room we stayed in was very cramped, no cupboards, no draws, or wardrobe to unpack clothes etc. Just a bed, an open clothes rail, a mirror and tiny small shelf-desk. Although we found it clean this fell far below the standards in all the other hotels we stayed. We went through all the channels on the T.V and the BBC, CNN were not available. For a language commonly used widely around the world, you would have thought there would have been at least one channel in English available. When asking the receptionist which way to the bar, she smiled and said ”the reception desk is the hotel bar ” and that they would get us drinks and we could drink them in the breakfast area, goes to say, we didn't bother. The Hotel's web site clearly shows a bar but we didn't see one and to sit in the breakfast area, no thanks. There is a sign in the hotel saying ”Enjoy the Fun” I'm afraid no fun to be had here. We did contact our travel company and they were very quick to get straight back with a message saying that they had contacted the hotel management and that they were aware of the issues. No one contacted us from the management rest of the three nights we stayed but we decided to not spoil the holiday and tough it out. This hotel was more like an up-market student hostel and clearly if you like living out of your case off the floor this is the place for you. Alan Carlisle

The hotel is in an excellent location, only a few minutes away from the train station. Some of the rooms in the hotel have been renovated, but the room I stayed in was not renovated because it was a budget room. The room is underground. The walls and carpets in the corridor are dark in color and there is insufficient light. It feels a bit gloomy. The furniture in the room is shabby, the carpet is dull and the hair is falling off. I feel uncomfortable. I stayed for two nights and stayed there the next day. Skin allergies appear. Moreover, because it is a ”affordable” (hotel definition) room, it does not provide distilled water or a water boiler, nor does it provide free tea bags or coffee. The most outrageous thing is that there are no water cups, and the plastic cups used for brushing teeth will be taken away the next day! We booked five rooms. I stayed in an ”affordable” room, but the hotel did not indicate in advance that the room I stayed in did not provide the above items, so I just thought that compared with the other four rooms, my room was smaller. That’s all.

close to the portal, need take taxi or bus to the train station. While I enjoy 20minutes walking through the main street to get there. Great staff, checked in for me earlier than expected, because the room was ready. I appreciate that. I paid in a good price for Clean and good amenities, very happy stay there. If I'm going back to the city, I'm gonna stay with them again

We booked 2 nights with breakfast included. We were 2 adults with our 16 year-old daughter. The room is comfortable and it has all you need and won't break the bank. The staff was really helpful and suggested a great restaurant for the first night. The location is awesome, being right above the train station, it makes it perfect for a day trip to Cinque Terre. The room has a kettle, coffee and tea and some complimentary cookies. There is storage for your clothes (armoire). There is a common room with 2 loveseats and books to borrow/take/exchange. There is no elevator and we were on the 3rd floor. Not a big deal for us, but good to know in advance. Communication with the staff in advance was great and they were helpful to get us there easily. We also booked for breakfast. They give you a voucher for a coffee shop one street over for a coffee and croissant. The place and staff was great. The croissant was really tasty. I would recommend this hotel.

This hotel has an excellent location, excellent breakfast and very nice, friendly and informative staff at the reception. Large and clean room. But..the beds weren't the most comfortable, the shower very small, and one elevator that was very slow and not always available.

Buon pomeriggio. Voglio condividere le mie impressioni sul luogo in cui ho avuto la fortuna di soggiornare e trascorrere le mie vacanze - quadrifoglio guest house. Questo è un posto meraviglioso in cui soggiornare, le camere sono molto confortevoli, pulite e confortevoli, arredate con gusto e in uno stile moderno. Vorrei anche sottolineare che le camere hanno tutto ciò di cui hai bisogno e anche di più per il tuo soggiorno, non devi pensare a portare con te asciugamani, sapone o shampoo, tutto questo è nella stanza. Puoi anche bere il tè in camera e guardare la TV prima di andare a letto, poiché tutto questo è disponibile, e se ti piace svegliarti con una tazza di delizioso caffè o cioccolata calda, avrai l'opportunità di prepararti un caffè senza uscire la tua stanza, così come in quanto vi è una macchina per il caffè in camera. quadrifoglio guest house si trova vicino alla stazione, in una zona tranquilla e silenziosa, 10 minuti a piedi, comodissimo per spostarsi in treno per visitare posti bellissimi come le 5 terre, Portofino, Pisa, e 15 minuti per il centro di La Spezia . Voglio esprimere la mia profonda gratitudine al proprietario della casa per l'ospitalità e la calorosa accoglienza nella vostra casa. Questi sono i migliori appartamenti in Italia in cui abbia mai soggiornato, io e mia figlia siamo molto felici di aver avuto l'opportunità di farvi visita. ❤️🌸

I enjoyed my stay here. The staff was available until 8PM. They had a great location right next to the train and within walking distance of a great nightlife and restaurants. La Spezia is a cute city. It's only a 7 minute train ride to Cinque Terra villages. The shower needs a door, but was spacious and had warm water. I did experience some problems with vaping/ electronic cigarette smoking on site. Unfortunately, some of it seemed to be coming from the cleaning crew. Hotels really need to understand how bad this problem is and how negatively it affects guests, especially people with asthma.

I loved this stay a lot more then some of the hotels in my trip, felt nice having your own key to a building. The room really surprised me, it was really nice and also in such a good spot of la spezia. La spezia surprised me, I was nervous as it seemed a bit rough around the edges but honestly such a lovely stay with trendy bars in every alleyway, just got to explore the streets. 10 min walk to the station which is right on the main Cinque Terre line going to the towns, I was a pro by the end of my stay. I felt like this was the place I actually met other Italians as the cinque Terre can be super congested with tourists so I really recommend staying here instead of one of the 5 towns and making base doing day trips to the villages. The reception were really lovely and helped you try and understand the area before letting you go off to your apartment room. I didn't spend much time in the room but I slept really well and all the facilities worked and there was information in the hallway if needed about ferry times and spots to go to. La Spezia was also one of the more affordable parts of Italy I went to with some really good food and drinks.

The rooms are very nice, but a bit small. However, there is no reception. If you are lucky you will see small plaque (see photo) near a large door which infers that you are in the right place. However, there is no clue as to how to get in. When I rang the number on the booking form I was informed that I had been sent a WhatApp message with instructions as to how to get in - not a lot of use when travelling all day on Italian trains with no wifi. To be fair, the chap did turn up within 5 mins or so and let us in, but not a great start.

There are no bells or whistles here. It is a very basic, clean no-frills hotel with an incredibly convenient location for accessing the Cinque Terre towns. We planned to spend 4 days at Cinque Terre but we had a car and we absolutely did not want to drive around the notoriously difficult Cinque Terre towns. Hotel Mary was a perfect solution. They reserved a car parking spot for us around the corner (street parking but free). We were able to leave our car for the next 4 days and didn’t have to go near it until we were leaving. The train station is directly opposite the hotel so each morning, we simply walked across the road, jumped on the train and got off at whichever CT town we’d picked for that day’s hike. It couldn’t have been easier. Despite the proximity of the station, we did not hear any train noise during the night. The station is elevated above the hotel so the noise doesn’t seem to travel. The main road outside is quite busy so there was some traffic noise but nothing excessive and it did not disturb us even though our room faced the road at the front of the hotel. The room was dated and the decor was old-fashioned but our room was spacious and large bags could be easily tucked out of the way. The staff were very pleasant and helpful. When I had trouble finding the allocated car spot, they walked with me back to my car to show me exactly where it was. An unexpected benefit was the number of restaurants within close walking distance which (unlike the Cinque Terre restaurants), stayed open late. This gave us the option of sometimes heading back to La Spezia and still being able to walk out for a late meal. Between the hotel and Piazza Garibaldi, there is a strip of lively restaurants and we ate here a couple of times. Overall, for price and location, this hotel was a good option.
