La Spezia Villas

The hotel’s decor gave me quirky, artsy vibes the moment I walked in. Artwork. Plants. Little knickknacks. Even a fish tank. Our room had a small desk and clothes rack. And a refrigerator over the desk that took me a while to realize it was a refrigerator. Another chair would’ve also been nice, since sitting options were limited to one desk chair or bed. Ac was off and it was unfortunate since it was cloudy and humid the entire time we were there. Also, no window screens, which seems to be the norm in Italy. The hotel only serves breakfast, and they do it so well. Excellent selection of pastries, cold meats and cheeses, yogurt, even fresh baked bread. Its close proximity to the city center is a plus, as well as the fact that the first village in Cinque Terre (Riomaggiore) is only 7 minutes away by train.

We had no problems at this hotel. The location was a stone throw from the train station which was very convenient since we traveled by train. We also used the train to visit Cinque Terre. Since Cinque Terre exploration envolved a lot of walking and we got back late, having the hotel close to the station was great. The breakfast here was great as well. I liked that you pay one price for an old room and a different price for a renovated room. This way you know you will get a renovated room when you pay for it. At many hotels, it's the luck of the draw. That being said, it did seem that all of La Spezia hotels seemed overpriced. What we paid for our nice, but tiny room felt very expensive relative to the pricing I have become used to in Italy. I'm from New York City where things are pretty expensive relative to Italy. This hotel was an outlier by seeming expensive.

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.

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!!!

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.

Buon pomeriggio. Voglio condividere le mie impressioni sul luogo in cui ho avuto la fortuna di soggiornare e trascorrere le mie vacanze - quadrifoglio guest house. Questo è un posto meraviglioso in cui soggiornare, le camere sono molto confortevoli, pulite e confortevoli, arredate con gusto e in uno stile moderno. Vorrei anche sottolineare che le camere hanno tutto ciò di cui hai bisogno e anche di più per il tuo soggiorno, non devi pensare a portare con te asciugamani, sapone o shampoo, tutto questo è nella stanza. Puoi anche bere il tè in camera e guardare la TV prima di andare a letto, poiché tutto questo è disponibile, e se ti piace svegliarti con una tazza di delizioso caffè o cioccolata calda, avrai l'opportunità di prepararti un caffè senza uscire la tua stanza, così come in quanto vi è una macchina per il caffè in camera. quadrifoglio guest house si trova vicino alla stazione, in una zona tranquilla e silenziosa, 10 minuti a piedi, comodissimo per spostarsi in treno per visitare posti bellissimi come le 5 terre, Portofino, Pisa, e 15 minuti per il centro di La Spezia . Voglio esprimere la mia profonda gratitudine al proprietario della casa per l'ospitalità e la calorosa accoglienza nella vostra casa. Questi sono i migliori appartamenti in Italia in cui abbia mai soggiornato, io e mia figlia siamo molto felici di aver avuto l'opportunità di farvi visita. ❤️🌸

I enjoyed my stay here. The staff was available until 8PM. They had a great location right next to the train and within walking distance of a great nightlife and restaurants. La Spezia is a cute city. It's only a 7 minute train ride to Cinque Terra villages. The shower needs a door, but was spacious and had warm water. I did experience some problems with vaping/ electronic cigarette smoking on site. Unfortunately, some of it seemed to be coming from the cleaning crew. Hotels really need to understand how bad this problem is and how negatively it affects guests, especially people with asthma.

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.
