Hotel berhampiran De Gustibus, Portovenere

Service was outstanding as expected from a Grand Hotel. Nevertheless I want to mention that every single person from staff was highly motivated and trying to support us in every way, appreciated! The breakfast had been very good (compared to italian standards); hint: always order italian coffee and forget the american coffee. Small remark, regarding my personal expectations regarding room size: as I booked Executive room type I paid the price and I did expect some room with at least 30 squaremeters; finally I think it was something around 20 squaremeters, which is pretty small. Would be good to clearly mention this in advance; I could not see any room size in my original booking via trip.com. The bath was very modern and good. Sea view and small balcony included, super nice! Free parking included was great (and really necessary; small old streets which are crowed with parking cars, to pay hourly + ongoing street works all the time) We did hike to Quinque Terra (to the next town Remaggiore); hotel was perfect starting point. I would come back again, but next time book bigger room.

We have returned this week from a great 6 night stay at the NH Hotel La Spezia in Liguria Italy. Our room was a recently renovated Junior Suite on the 8th floor at the front of the Hotel, which gave us a great panoramic view of the whole of the Bay of La Spezia. The suite consisted of a large bedroom with an electronic safe situated in the built in wardrobe, a separate lounge with tea and coffee making facilities and a mini fridge. Wifi was available throughout the Hotel. The bathroom was modern and clean with a large walk-in shower cubicle. There were wall mounted televisions in both the lounge and the bedroom. We had breakfast in the dining room on the ground floor during our stay which included a great choice of hot and cold food and drinks. There is also a small bar on the ground floor and food is also available from the restaurant. The location of the Hotel is very good overlooking public gardens, the sea promenade, Cruise Terminal and Ferries to the nearby islands and the villages of the Cinque Terre National Park. It is a thirty minute walk from Spezia Centrale Station to the Hotel. There is a large choice of bars and restaurants available within a few minutes walk from the Hotel. The Hotel staff throughout our stay were all very pleasant and helpful and the bedroom suite and public areas were all well maintained. We found that the City of La Spezia had a good range of attractions to visit including the Castello San Giorgi and the Naval Technical Museum which we visited. Our main reason for visiting the area was to explore the 5 villages of the Cinque Terre; Monterosso Al Mare, Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola and Riomaggiore, which we managed to do by means of the excellent train service. Cinque Terre Cards available from the train station cost 18.20 euros for one day unlimited travel between La Spezia and the villages and these also allow access to the footpath network between the villages. During our stay we also visited the beautiful resort of Portovenere by ferry, which is also served by buses from La Spezia. We took the opportunity to visit the picturesque village of Santa Margherita Ligure from where we took a ferry to nearby Porto Fino. Buses also run between Santa Margherita and Porto Fino. We found the NH Hotel an ideal location to stay and from which to explore the area and would stay at the hotel again should we return to La Spezia.

We booked this place as it suited our requirements: pet-friendly, a room that can sleep 3 people (1 king, 1 single fold-out), central, modern and tidy, easy to get to with a car. Enrico has made sure we received all details prior to arrival. The communication was straight forward. We didn't mind that there was no actual reception. We actually liked that the apartment building gave us some insights in authentic Italian living. We were confused that on hotel.com it is mentioned that parking is available. However, right in front of the apartment building, there is max. 2 hour parking available for 0.75 EUR per hour - after 8 pm parking is free of charge. Remember, blue lines indicate time limited parking, whereas white lines indicate an unlimited parking duration. Mentioning this information would help future guests navigate through the busy Italian traffic. Upon arrival, we met the cleaner who was friendly and allowed us to check in 1 hour prior to the agreed check-in time. In order to keep this review short, our highlights are as follows: beds and pillows were incredibly comfortable, hallway and room smelled divine, Nespresso coffee machine was provided, the elevator had a great Italian feel - in summary, overall the accommodation was immaculately cleaned, well looked after and highly modernised. Another suggestion we would make is to offer free coffee. We kind of expected the coffee to be free but then read the menu and realised we had to pay for the coffee after we have already drunk all of it. We browsed a few reviews online and were shocked what people had to say as for us the accommodation was just great! We assume the place has not always provided great service. However, we were not able to identify any of the claims made by previous guests. Thank you. Keep up the good work. We happily book with you again. Arrivederci.

On our tour of northern Italy, we stopped in La Spezia. We chose this location to visit Cinque Terre. We had booked a double room at the CDH Hotel La Spezia for one night from 17.7. to 18.7.22 via an online booking platform. The hotel is very centrally located, 10 mins to the train station and 10 mins to the port, on foot. The shopping street is just around the corner. The reception by the staff was friendly and helpful. They provided us with all the information about their house and La Spezia. The room was already ready to move into. That is positive. It is recommended to book a parking space. This costs 12 euros per night. There is a hotel-owned garage, which is not far away. You can also park in front of the hotel, free of charge if there is space. The room is functionally furnished and has everything you need. The room size was ok for us. The bathroom is a bit small but ok. The room is clean. The breakfast was very good for this class of hotel. Everything you could wish for was available. Enough space, fresh products etc. Even freshly squeezed orange juice. We can recommend the CDH Hotel La Spezia for 1 to 3 nights.

Excellent location, just at the train station. We booked through booking.com and got an excellent deal. We were 3 adults and there are plenty of rooms to accommodate families and a small group of friends. Please note that there is city tax to be paid on site. Also just wanted to say a huge huge thank you to the staff. Amazingly helpful. Helped us to check in after hours and then when staying again, helped to order pizza 😊. And you can store your luggage. Breakfast is included. You will get a voucher which can be redeemed in 2 places. It's for a cup of coffee and a fresh pastry. Typical light Italian breakfast. Delicious. Just a note, to make sure you go to the correct one, ask before. As there are 2. One has RED flower pots in front and the other has WHITE. The staff is very helpful, and can chat to via WhatsApp. Thanks again!!!
