The Poet Hotel

I had an amazing stay at The Poet Hotel in La Spezia! From the moment I arrived, the service was outstanding. Isabel was particularly fantastic—so warm, friendly, and incredibly helpful. The entire team was lovely and made me feel welcome, ensuring a smooth and quick check-in, even earlier than expected, which was a great bonus. The hotel's location is excellent, right in the heart of the city, making it super convenient for exploring La Spezia and catching the train to Cinque Terre. The tea-making facilities in the reception area were a lovely touch, perfect for unwinding after a day of sightseeing. My room was a great size, clean, and well-equipped with modern amenities, including Netflix on the TV, which was a nice perk. The bed was comfortable, and the overall ambiance of the hotel was stylish yet cozy. I would highly recommend The Poet Hotel for anyone visiting La Spezia—amazing staff, great facilities, and a perfect location!

The Poet is super convenient to the Train Station. Since we were constantly using the train to visit the 5 Terre, that was really nice! We were also close to shopping, restaurants, and bars. The neighborhood felt safe even at night and our balcony was nice! I also want to add that I was a bit nervous due to the reports of bed bugs, but we absolutely did not have any and checked incredibly thoroughly. If you’re on the fence, book it. We had a lot of fun!

The room was large, spacious and very clean and modern. The extra large double bed were two smaller beds placed together almost to give a super king size. There were charging ports on the bedframe which were useful too. The breakfast had a great selection. It was a good base for our travels to Cinque Terre and close to walk to La Spezia Centrale station.

The Poet is a very welcoming, fresh and modern hotel situated not too far from the train station. We checked in early and left our bags with reception. The room was large, with a nice comfy bed and all the facilities one would require. Only a short walk down into the town centre, so a great location for exploring La Spezia (which is an absolute gem).

What stands out above everything else at The Poet Hotel is the staff, especially the front desk staff (but also breakfast and cleaning staff). They were so friendly, patient, accommodating and concerned with our needs. Breakfast was outstanding, as were the facilities. The Poet Hotel is located within a short walk (15 min) from the La Spezia Train Station, and close to lots of great bars and restaurants.
