Pizza night was not worth it, in my opinion, but the supermarket is very close and the kitchen is equipped with everything you need to cook your own meals if you want.

The best location and connection with public transportation. Amazing, friendly, attentive and caring staff that gave me the best tips about exploring all the cities and islands. Very clean and tidy.

It’s a little bit pricey, but considering other options in La Spezia it’s okay.

It is very well located, not too far away from the train station and 30 mins walk from Flixbus stop. The rooms have very high ceilings, it helps with air circulation and is super nice. It’s clean and the stuff if super friendly. They give you recommendations and help with anything you need. Every night during the high season there are some activity happening in the common area (pizza night, wine party, etc.).

Everything was nice in this Hostel, the people were great and the beds were confortable, they don’t have any curtains but we had AC so that’s good!

Limited spaces to air clothing- would be useful if there was a clothes horse/ hanging rack to air out bathers / active wear.

Good location. Nice kitchen. Clean bathrooms. Clear labelling of things for shared use eg toiletries and food. Included small offering of breakfast items including coffee. Evening group activities offered including aperitivo and family dinners.

Review Excellent staff of the hostel! I got a lot of help during my stay! They were very kind to assist me in my goals, shared with me a lot information! That is amazing human-oriented attitude to guests :) If I was need help, the staff is nearby and ready to answer any queries! I’m very happy to meet so many great peole there! I had a great time in La Spezia! That is a winderful place! The rooms were very clean! The cleaning does every day! I got a service to keep my suitcase after doing check-out. The hostel has a kitchen that I utilized for every day cooking. Fridge, microwave, kitchenware are included. The building has an elevator. Usually, there is a hostel party in the evening. The bed was comfortable to sleep. There are small park, supermarkets, amazing yacht port around the hostel. I’m full of joy to have a chance to stay there! Thank you Malen and Giulia! You are amazing!

the hostel was great, the vibe:) the location is perfect, the area seems very safe and clean. It's 15 minutes walk from the train station. Rooms are comfortable, mine had a balcony. The breakfast provided is good. The owner and staff organise some events for people each day:) The owner knows the area so well, she helped me to plan my stay in Cinque Terre and advised on my trekking plans. I recommend

Please if you’re every in La Spezia book this place! The staff are excellent! Shout out to Gabriele for making me feel so welcomed! It’s about a 15-20 minute walk from the station! The rooms are clean, nice and the same for the bathrooms and you can are also able to only lock the shower so if need be someone can use the bathroom which is smart! They do a €1 Aperitivo every night also other fun pizza nights or pasta nights for only a few euros which I find amazing! I’d really recommend this place if you come to La Soezia! ☺️

A bit far from the station but it didn't really bothered me to walk

Friendly staff, enough facilities and clean, free breakfast, good dorms.

Nothing other than just note the ladies shower cubicles are quite small so & would have loved some lockable drawers underneath the bunks to store bags

Loved the location - close to the ferry and parks.. felt very safe .. for a solo female traveller excellent .. staff super friendly ..

The overall facilities were clean, but even though we got our sheets in sealed plastic bags, we found many hairs in them. Also, the lockers are pretty small, they couldn’t fit our bags. Overall too expensive for what it is.

The location is amazing, right across the park from the water, and 15 min walk away from the train station that brings you to cinque terre. The staff was very sweet and gave us many recommendations only locals know about! They will definitely help you plan your stay there.

- It's a nice hostel but honestly, I thought it was overpriced. This was the most expensive hostel I stayed in several weeks. Typically other hostels were expensive because they were in a nice city. La Spezia isn't that nice a place and more a hub for visiting other nicer places so to me it felt a bit expensive for what I actually got.

- Clean, safe, relatively comfortable rooms. I saw some reviews mentioning street noise but to me the rooms were basically silent. - Bathrooms are good for a hostel, good shower pressure, well equipped, and it's nice they provide shower gel. - Well located for exploring Cinque Terre, just 15 mins walk from the station. Within La Spezia there's lots of restaurants nearby and the supermarket is a minute away. - I really liked the ferry to Porto Venere (15eur return), and it departs just a few mins from the hostel. - The hostel staff make an effort in the evenings.

Too expensive outside of the summer months… also there’s a bar quite close that doesn’t close till late. However the hostel fortunately had earplugs for free

Helpful receptionists , an extra thank you to Amanda that let me check in early and helped me with my itinerary! Small and intimate hostel, but with everything you need . Okay breakfast !

The shower cubicles were very small and it was hard to dry yourself in there.

Property was super Centrale to La spezia and to get to all of the cinque terre towns. Malen was incredibly helpful and accommodating and gave me so many recommendations about where to go and what to do first. They do “family meals” each night too which is such a lovely way to meet people. I did not do these so cannot comment on food but it seemed very popular. Free WiFi there and lockers for your belongings. They also provided earplugs and hangers. I would stay again.

The breakfast a bit poor… being in Italy it would be nice to try some good breads and hams, salami or cheese!

Great place, staff and beds!

Nice place to use as base of operations for visit to Cinque Terre. Staff gave a lot of information about the hikes and prices, everything you need to know for a superb visit to Cinque Terre. Staff also provided recommendations for other town near La Spezia to visit as well as tips for evening activities in La Spezia.
