Cari Hotel 4-Bintang di La Spezia

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

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.

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

酒店位置極佳，只需要幾分鐘便可到火車站。酒店內的房間部分翻新，但我住的房間因是平價房，所以未有翻新。房間在地下，走廊牆上及地氈顏色深沉，光線又不足，感覺有點陰深；房內的傢俬破舊，地氈暗啞，毛也脫落，感覺不舒服，住了兩晚，第二天皮膚即出現過敏現象。 更因為是「平價」（酒店定義）房，所以不提供蒸餾水及水煲，更不會提供免費茶包、咖啡，最離譜的是水杯也沒有，刷牙用的膠杯第二天也收走！我們訂了五間房，我住的是「平價」房，但酒店在事前並沒有註明我住的房不提供上述物品，所以我只以為與其他四間房比較，我的房間面積較少而已。

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.

房間很大，乾淨整潔，離市中心近，非常好

We stayed 4 nights. It was great. They put us in one of the rooms on the station side of the railway tunnel. Just a hop, skip and a jump from the station which was ideal for us as we arrived by train, had a few days in the Cinque Terre, took the train to Pisa for a day ams then took the train to Rome at the end. It’s also very handy to La Spezia town, restaurants etc. we also walked from there to the Ferry to go to Porto Venere for the day. reception was very helpful. Room was great and the coffee machine and pods were much appreciated. Location excellent. The only negative (which didn’t bother us too much) - no elevator. Other than that, we had a great stay.

Abbiamo dormito una notte nel Loft, l appartamento era molto grazioso, in ordine e dotato di ogni confort necessario. Situato in pieno centro, nella zona pedonale, a 10 minuti a piedi dalla stazione. Ottimo anche il servizio di Yiulja, gentilissima e sempre disponibile per qualsiasi necessità. Consigliato!!

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.

la posizione è sicuramente comodissima, vicino al centro e vicino alla stazione dei treni (perfetto per girare le 5terre). Anche la camera devo dire ottima con tutto il necessario, l’unica cosa che mi sento di criticare è la pulizia, io e il mio fidanzato siamo entrati in camera trovando tantissimi capelli in terra sia nella camera che nel bagno.. e anche nel corridoio devo dire che la situazione non era diversa purtroppo. Per il resto ci siamo trovati molto bene
