La Spezia Hotels in Cinque Terre, Italy

I stayed with my two teenage daughters and was a bit anxious as recent reviews hadn't been good. I had a triple room which was a double bed in a small room and a double fold down settee (which was easy to fold up and us as a settee) in a separate room. There was tea and coffee making facilities which was really nice and handy. we found the space available good and folded the settee up and used the room as a sitting room. The previous residents who said the area was not safe have probably not stayed in Italy before. There is graffiti everywhere in Italy - it is not a sign of the area being run down or not safe - I felt perfectly safe using the back entrance with my two teenage daughters. There is also the option of a front door as well which takes a few minutes extra to get to from the shopping area. The breakfast was good. The bathroom was very small but clean and did the job. We needed to ask for more towels as they hadn't set up the room with three sets of towels, and also blankets. The staff were very prompt with supplying us with what we needed. La Spezia itself is very nice and a good base for exploring the cinque terre. the hotel is tricky to find first time but is 10 minutes from the station - in a straight line down the shopping street and there is a sign directing you to the hotel. We took a taxi (12 euros) there but walked back to the station as didn't feel a taxi was necessary.

Wonderful smaller hotel that is literally 200 meters from the train stAtion. Very convienent to take local train into cirque terre and breakfast was good too. Only drawback was wifi did not always

We had a very good stay there. We visit Cinque Terre twice and went shopping in la Spezia. In the town we had lovely dinners.Even on the roof terrace you can have a lovely dinner or drink.

Les propriétaires et le personnel de l'hôtel étaient d'une gentillesse hors du commun, on se sentait accueillit par des amis. Au-delà de nos espérances. La navette de l'hôtel pour le train ou le bateau pour Cinque Terre est un plus. Et stationnement gratuit à ne pas négliger.

This hotel has 36 rooms. Two are especially deluxe with individual outside terrace with nice greenery and table etc. We lucked out and got one of those rooms (#1) So our stay was the best we had in Italy. I don't think the other 34 rooms are so nice however. The breakfast was OK but not exceptional. The hotel is not conveniently located as far as the railroad station,but it is very close to the wharf and sea and if one were to take the boat to Cinque d Terre instead of the railroad -- Then it would be a nice choice.

My single room was small but very well equipped and clean. The new windows and outside heavy screen eliminated street noise and the AC worked. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Price was great and location near train station and a short and safe walk to pedestrian piazzas was very convenient

I can't say enough good things about the hotel Cris Mar. On a scale of 1-10 I would give them 11's across the board. Some highlights: Super hip room for what can be considered a "budget hotel". Great location in the heart of La Spezia's popular pedestrian zone. Literally 3 minute walk from Central Train Station Incredibly friendly/helpful staff that does anything possible to make your stay fun and comfortable. This was the perfect home base for my hiking day trips to The Cinque Terre. They recommended great hikes that were not crowded/touristy, and arranged so that I could have breakfast early to accommodate my hiking schedule. Why can't all hotels be like the Cris Mar??? I wish I were still there : ) Book your room, if they have any space, and you will find yourself writing a review like this one. Thanks Cris Mar! I hope we meet again . . .

Bel accueil, chambre très propre, tel que les photos. Personnel faisant le maximum pour vous aider. Très bien situé Bon déjeuner

We liked this hotel because the staff is very friendly and our room was big and clean. We had a corner room with windows on two sides so it was bright and cheery. The only drawback was the lack of an elevator and lugging our suitcases up the stairs was not much fun. Could have packed a little lighter. Other than that we really enjoyed the hotel. There were a couple of restaurants right around the corner which were excellent. And when you walked to the corner you got a beautiful view of the LaSpezia harbor. It felt like we were a long way from the city center but we really weren't. One road down the hill and you were there. The staff gave us a map for parking free and then the walk to the train station to get to Cinque Terra - did not take long at all. The hotel had a very nice breakfast buffet and we would definitely go back. Prior Lake, MN

Our stay at La Branda was a very pleasant one. Our hosts were very accommodating. Even when my fiancé was unwell they offered to go to the pharmacy for us. The rooms are spacious and comfortable. The kitchen is practical and the bathroom new and clean. The guest house is right near the station so it is ideal for training to the 5 towns and is also walking distance to the ferry (it is a small town really). They have a washing machine which was free and good for us as we have been travelling for two months. The elevator is useful and not so common in the smaller guest houses we have noticed.
