The hotel was nicely decorated and the rooms were equipped with all the necessary amenities. A couple of things to have earned a five star for me would be as easy as providing slippers and a robe in the rooms or limited dining options (e.g., cheese and fruit plates, sandwhiches) for those not wanting to leave the hotel after returning from a long day out. Otherwise, it was great!

Nice but parking is far!

Everything was so pleasant about this hotel! The staff were very friendly. Only thing I wish it gave better information were about parking. There were no parking lot in the premise. It’s 500m away. Also I wish it had better amenities.

The poet hotel was very clean due to the hard work of the cleaning staff. The rooms were quite spacious and all facilities toilet, shower, bidet and showers were perfectly functional. The air conditioning was excellent and it was very much needed for our stay in a July 2025 heatwave. The receptionist staff were very helpful and professional. On the downside the breakfast is really boring, we found it had healthy food but nothing that you would expect at a similar priced hotel for breakfast - and the Poet hotel is pricey. For breakfast there was only one staff person for 30 people who I counted. That ratio left them struggling to clean up and reset the tables and also refill the orange juice etc which was often empty. We felt sorry for the breakfast staff who did the best they could. We felt that the breakfast person ( they did change every few days) was under pressure. There is no bar, cafe or day restaurant apart from the breakfast bar and there is a distinct lack of charachter in this very functional hotel. I feel it is so lean it must be a great moneymaker for the owners.

Mediocre hotel, unfriendly staff

The staff at the front desk were not helpful or accommodating especially with the extremely hot weather. My mother is 82 and they didn’t want to provide her with bottled water.

Fantastic. Don't hesitate, la Spezia is amazing

To our complete surprise, Hotel Poet may go down as the best accommodations we have experienced in Italy to date. You are greated by friendly multi-lingual staff in a climate controlled, modern hotel, that is extremely easy to walk too from La Spezia's train station ( 500m ) Once we got to our room, we quickly realized the pictures were accurate, if not underserving the property as it looked and felt fantastic. Each room has a digital control for the A/C, which we set to 19*C as it was 35+ everyday we stayed, and found it to be the best night sleep we've both had in months. Windows have black out curtains, normal curtains, and shades offering you a truly relaxed and comfortable environment to relax in when trying to avoid the heat. Breakfast is a definite must add as well, not only did it make the process that much easier, it's also fantastic. Large assortment of options for almost any level of pickiness ( I am quite picky myself ). Wifi was strong, not sure what previous comments suggesting otherwise we're talking about, at least from our experience. Showers have rain drop heads, and lots of space, which feels rare in the otherwise cramped style most of Italy conforms too. Our only suggestion would be to add conditioner, as shampoo and body wash just aren't enough in this heat. Couldn't be happier with our stay!

I booked this place last minute after a stressful experience elsewhere, and it exceeded all expectations. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, the room was spotless, and everything felt well cared for. Such a relief to find a place like this — I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a clean, comfortable, and professional stay.

Good shout out to the 2 ladies who checked me in upon arrival - extremely friendly and helpful! Walking distance to the train station and all the cool cafes & restaurants. Small but tastefully designed room. Wall is so thin that one could hear my neighbour talking next door. Would suggest to the mgt to perhaps consider putting a water kettle in all the rooms.

We choose The Poets Hotel as we had stayed there previously. It is well located, near the main station in La Spezia to explore the region. The hotel is comfortable and our room was spacious. The evening reception staff were friendly and helpful. Checking in and out was very straightforward. Reasonably priced for services offered.
