The room was great with comfortable bed. The location was really nice as well.
We did not have a coffee machine or kettle in the room. When we requested one they said we should use the tea-station at the reception. So every time we wanted tea (there was no coffee option) we had to go down. We paid almost 200eur/night and this is pure hostel experience. They said our room category did not qualify for amenities. What? Cleaning was also not the best as the room was always smelling of dirty mopes

It is well located. It has pleasant lobby
The standard room was very small. We asked for an upgrade to a superior room. But we’re told there was none available. We finally upgraded to a junior suite and paid 294 € more. This made the stay very expensive and not worth the money paid.
Our room bidet was not functional. Hotel staff was informed very first day but it was not repaired till we left. The staff at reception and in the hotel was not friendly. They need to be more hospitable and helpful.

Convenient parking space though expensive
Great breakfast .... lovely automatic bread toaster, liked the self help coffee counter and great fruit served ready to eat
Great shower facilities
The lighting in the room could have been better ... particularly the bedside lamp on one side was too bright

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.
Can't think of anything.

We were very disappointed with the property. We would not consider it a four star hotel. Our room badly needed to be painted.. The walls were all marks and just not clean. The room was really dark. Not a nice space.

Hotel is easy walk to the train station, close to farmers market, shopping and the water. Staff and vibe were amazing! Bed was one of the most comfortable beds we stayed in during our week around Italy!
We loved everything about the hotel. The staff went above and beyond to take care of us. They called cabs, provided glassware for wine we brought back, and booked a sunset cruise for us. We did not try the breakfast, but it looked great.

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!
Our stay was great and overall our experience was positive, I have nothing negative to say only a note to maybe consider having coffee / tea making facilities in the rooms. While there was readily available facilities in reception and the team couldn't be more helpful sometimes it can be inconvenient to leave the room in the night to make a cup of tea.

I visited the Hotel Poet's on a business trip. The hotel staff were amazing. Their pre arrival communications on What's App to assist with parking arrangements and other enquiries was very responsive. The front desk team were so friendly and assisted with restaurant recommendations and local taxi transfers. They made me feel really welcome. I'll be staying again on my next trip.
No negatives.

The breakfast was very good with lots of variety including fruit and juices, meats and cheeses.
The bathroom was very nice.
The older woman at the desk was very helpful with info about bus stops and routes.
It's on a quiet side-street.
The breakfast staff was not friendly, and it was necessary to find someone to ask if you wanted a cappuccino, and then they acted as if it was a nuisance.
It was overpriced for a hotel that is neither near the water or the train station.
We didn't like the post-modern decor.

All the interactions we had with the staff were very positive, and they helped us out with questions and some requests.

WIFI was weak and intermittent, at least in our mezzanine room 20. Mezzanine rooms cannot be accessed by the elevator, so you have to carry bags upstairs (hotel staff offered help). The bathroom walls of room 20 showed signs of mold.

It was a perfect stay. Room was clean and nicely decorated, staff was kind and helpful. The whole feeling of the hotel is very cool, boutique-y, we truly adored it. Location is an easy walk from train station, old city and harbour. If you're in a car I suggest you book parking with them in advance, they have their own secure garage right next to the hotel and made everything very easy for us.
Nothing - everything exceeded expectations!
