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.

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.

Hotel was clean, bed comfy and centrally located. The complimentary drinks in the fridge were a nice touch and the front desk was very helpful. Rooms on the small size bit quiet. AC worked well and appreciated. Didn’t try the breakfast, found a couple of nice coffee shops close by. It would have been nice to have a coffee machine and tea kettle in the room. Close to a grocery store for supplies.

The Poet is a great place to stay. The front desk staff was very helpful and sweet. There is really interesting art through out the main areas. Our King size bed was comfortable and the biggest bed I have ever seen! I think it was 7 1/2 feet wide!
