Top hotels in La Spezia Historic Centre

The Poet Hotel
Clean room, lovely shower, comfortable bed. Poor amenities - 1 tea bag - decaf, no milk, asked for more and it took 45 mins to be given just 1 extra tea bag and a jug of milk. Check in to room was not available on time. Would not stay here again for the price!

Hotel Firenze E Continentale
Great location near the train station to visit Cinque Terre. Clean rooms, comfortable bed and good breakfast buffet. We stayed before we went and stayed a few nights in Monterosso and then stayed another night before taking the train to Naples on the way to Sorrento. Very convenient and clean!

Very basic, but clean, room. Sound-proofing not great. Breakfast was poor. Reception staff friendly and helpful. Quite a long walk from the station, but handy for boat and bus.
