I loved the artsy feel to the hotel! We came back from an after-dinner walk, only to find the words to John Lennon's song Imagine, in neon across the front of hotel! So cute and quirky it made me smile. Also, the breakfast was a great combination of things, and admin staff was always pleasant. Very clean, and it was close enough to the train station that we could walk to the hotel upon arrival. Highly recommend!

Great breakfast buffet with lots of variety, including fruits, bread, juice, cheese, smoked salmon… the staff at the front was helpful too. We asked them how to get to Portavenere and they offered much help on that. It turned out a great escape for peace.

Excellent location, close to two major pedestrian streets and the large market area. Outstanding breakfast buffet. Rooms were typically smaller, as common in Europe, and lacked sitting - no chair/couch or similar, and no counter space at all in bathroom.

So much about this hotel to dislike. 1. Our "King size" bed was just two beds stuck together. While this is common in hotels, they usually cover the join between the two beds enough so that it isn't obvious or uncomfortable. Sleeping anywhere near the middle of the "king" was awful due to the hard sides of the beds creating a hump. This also meant that all outlets and lighting controls were in the center of the bed and so completely useless. 2. The room had an electronic "no not disturb" feature as was common in many of our European hotels. However, it seemed to switch itself off without notice. So even after signaling to the staff that you didn't want the room disturbed, they couldn't tell. Apparently a known issue since there was a supplementary door hanger hiding on the "closet" but no other advice to let a guest know. 3. There were zero drawers for clothes storage. Apparently everybody else who visits this hotel likes living out of their luggage. We don't. 4. The "Moxy Hotel" vibe isn't what we paid top dollar for.

Room was clean. Shower was nice and clean with good water pressure. Walls dark and scuffed up. Fragrance in hotel and room was overwhelming. Bedding was worn and could have been replaced. Overall average. We overpaid for this room.

The place was very nice. We just didn’t like two things. Hotel advertise that it has a lift. However there are a number of rooms that is only accessible by a long set of stairs. The room also advertises that it has a bar fridge which is far from a fridge. Just a tiny warm box. We had medicine that needed to be in fridge and had to ask to be kept by reception.

Very clean, modern and large rooms. The best hotel that I stayed at in Italy. Staff were very helpful during railway strike to help find us a private driver to Milan. Breakfast was also excellent. Not just a continental breakfast. I will definitely stay here again instead of Cinque Terre.

Nous avons adoré l’endroit The Poet : il est idéalement situé pour découvrir La Spezia. Le décor est magnifique, notre chambre était spacieuse et nous avions même un balcon en plus. Le déjeuner est incroyablement bon, vraiment complet et généreux. Les réceptionnistes ont été très accueillantes et nous ont suggéré d’excellents restaurants. Un gros WOW !
