Strong smell
This hotel has a very strong smell from reed diffusers that are placed all over the place. It was too much and overwhelming. Even rooms had a strong smell of cleaning supplies. Having to deal with this smell all the time made our stay uncomfortable.

Average hotel, no kettle/coffee in the room. The toilet flush button did not work properly. Every time we had to move it to the right position in order for it to work. We did let the staff know, they said there was no room avalable for us to move to. The hotel has a strong smell, not stinky but unpleasant. We kept sneezing the whole night and could not sleep.

Very close to the train to travel to cinque terre as well as other major Roman cities. Also a couple minute walking distance from many restaurants. Hotel staff was very accommodating and breakfast had a large variety of food options

Average hotel in an average area. Not far from the train station or the pedestrian streets, but nothing immediately adjacent either. The key card didnt work when i arrived so i was eventually given a proper key but still needed card to turn on the electricity. I came back one day and housekeeping had left their key in my door. Anyone could have gotten access to my room. Three smoke detectors in the room flashed every 30 seconds or so all the time. I slept with my head under the covers. The staff was pleasant but mostly disinterested. It is the only hotel I've stayed at in La Spezia, but my guess is that their are worse at this price point. And probably better too.

Close to train station and shopping. The outside of the property has the theme from John Lennonn's song "Imagine" on it and it has special meaning to me.
