Poor Service
I booked the hotel while I was on the road via Hotels.com and did not scroll to the bottom of the page where is showed the reception had closed prior to my booking time, After discussions with Hotels.com the refund was refused. There is 3 issues.
1. The booking was made after closing. This should not have been allowed
2. The hotel should have refunded the money
3. I will check the fine print more and use another booking site
Be careful as this place closes at 18:30 for checkin honestly a time when people finishing work are still on the road.
No Breakfast, no Check in desk, all in all a bad experience

No front desk, so check in & keys must be coordinated, but once we were in, the room was great. Walkable to everything we wanted to see and do! Lots of shopping and dining options. Would definitely stay there again!

Air conditioning didn’t work and a lot of amenities were extra like soap, water etc. the WiFi also didn’t work. good location and great communication with owner. Great for couples
It was also quite close to a main road and a lot of noise of a night time.

Beautiful location, great restaurants close to apartment. Very clean and close to the waterfront park. We truly enjoyed our time here.
Bonus, the safe was stuck with our passports and they came out on a Sunday afternoon to rescue us. Best communication and went above and beyond what we expected. Highly recommend.

Central apartment
Central place in La Spezia with good walking distance to restaurants and train station (about 15 min walking). About 15 min away from good parking spaces in a parking garage (15 euro per day). Good place to stay if you just need a place to sleep

In need of attention.
The check in process was horrible. We received an email telling us to attend their offices, we did and there was no one there. We assumed that they were closed for lunch so kept checking back. Eventually we called and emailed them and they told us that the office was not manned and that check in was all automated.
At the site, another customer banged on our door because they couldn't get the automated exit door to work for them. It took us a couple of minutes to figure it out IF this was an emergency due to a fire, people would have died. This door NEEDS to be replaced with an emergency exit feature.

Clean, comfortable and good location
Very clean and comfortable. Communication via WhatsApp was quick, self check-in & check out was easy. Building is secure and in a good location near the marina and driving distance to all the sites.
I was concerned after reading bad reviews online but we had no issues at all in the honeymoon suite and loved our stay.

Great apartment - independent stay
Loved the apartment, modern, nice design and super clean, fancy toiletries. Good location near the harbour, although good to note for a short stay is far end of town from station.
Self check in was easy, good instructions and host was responsive to any queries. Not sure where the main building where any facilites is though, could not find any details about this (although we dis not need anyway).

Check in process was a nightmare! Do NOT book this property unless you use WhatsApp and plan to have cell service while in country. There was no other option to receive the check in information and building codes. No flexibility was offered, and no sympathy was expressed by the manager. We were told we'd be "outside," unless we were able to use WhatsApp. The room was not even at the address listed on orbitz and was actually around the block.
It was a stranger letting us borrow her phone that ultimately allowed us to access our room.

hotel is actually an office suite with 6 rooms. unattended. Issue is if you need a taxi/other. Walking distance to train if no bags. New, but it got it done nicely and great AC!
