No front desk, so check in & keys must be coordinated, but once we were in, the room was great. Walkable to everything we wanted to see and do! Lots of shopping and dining options. Would definitely stay there again!

I booked the hotel while I was on the road via Hotels.com and did not scroll to the bottom of the page where is showed the reception had closed prior to my booking time, After discussions with Hotels.com the refund was refused. There is 3 issues. 1. The booking was made after closing. This should not have been allowed 2. The hotel should have refunded the money 3. I will check the fine print more and use another booking site Be careful as this place closes at 18:30 for checkin honestly a time when people finishing work are still on the road. No Breakfast, no Check in desk, all in all a bad experience

A brilliant choice in La Spezia. Close to the old town, and a beautyful building. Very modern and nice room.

Beautiful location, great restaurants close to apartment. Very clean and close to the waterfront park. We truly enjoyed our time here. Bonus, the safe was stuck with our passports and they came out on a Sunday afternoon to rescue us. Best communication and went above and beyond what we expected. Highly recommend.

Central place in La Spezia with good walking distance to restaurants and train station (about 15 min walking). About 15 min away from good parking spaces in a parking garage (15 euro per day). Good place to stay if you just need a place to sleep

Very clean and comfortable. Communication via WhatsApp was quick, self check-in & check out was easy. Building is secure and in a good location near the marina and driving distance to all the sites. I was concerned after reading bad reviews online but we had no issues at all in the honeymoon suite and loved our stay.

Great convenient location for walking. Only issue was parking. Nothing really very close. Great self check in directions so it went smoothly without actually having a front desk.

Loved the apartment, modern, nice design and super clean, fancy toiletries. Good location near the harbour, although good to note for a short stay is far end of town from station. Self check in was easy, good instructions and host was responsive to any queries. Not sure where the main building where any facilites is though, could not find any details about this (although we dis not need anyway).
