    They could have sent the email about online check in earlier (it was sent 30 min before check in time). You never saw or heard anything from now one, they wrote it was because of restrictions of the pandemic, but no other hotels, flats, rooms or whatsoever had those restrictions. The flat was situated at a very weird place, it felt like if anything would happen no one could ever find you. Dark flat with a window facing a dirty backyard where you couldn’t see the sun or the sky. The shower screen was broken. The water in the shower flowed out slowly. Quite far from the train station.

    Clean, even if it was old.

    Only one small room, a very small room for such a number of guest. There was no place to put an extra bed. Everything is very old, definitely in need of renovation. There is a sauna, but what is it for, becouse it is very stuffy? Also full of mosquitoes. The price does not match the quality

    Stayed there for 3 nights and there were so many mosquitos, woke up every day with many mosquito bites. Room was very hot, hotter than it was outside so we couldn’t sleep. They had 1 fan which did nothing and we requested another fan but nothing was given to us.

    Clean and modern bathroom. Spacious room. Quiet place. When asked about city directions/ buses they were helpful.

    We booked for 5 people but only had 4 beds. When checked with owner, we were told that its only a quadruple apartment. A folding bed was provided but there was literally no space to put the bed on floor. Basically it should have never booked for 5 people. Apartment was full of mosquitoes and only 1 small fan. When owner knows there are mosquitoes then there should be a few fans at least which would help to get them away. 1 small fan for 5 people is not adequate considering the heat and mosquitoes in the month of August. Bed was not in good shape. It had a dip in the middle on 1 side of bed. Which gives you the feeling of just gonna fall off it. Pictures don't do justice with the actual apartment. It looks very bright but actually its not like that.

    Price is very reasonable. Location is perfect. Very close to ferry terminal or train station to get to Cinque terre and 5 minute walk to city centre. Europa car park is huge car park only minutes away from apartment, where we left our car when going on ferry to Cinque terre. Its very easy to find and owner communicated clealry to find the location.

    So very disappointed, this room was SCARY! The fact that it was in a office building alone was strange but then they made office space into bedrooms with very small narrow windows that opened to an interior courtyard that was dirty and unattractive. The lights were equal to floodlights that shined very bright on the bed. The furniture was like someone’s old house furniture and a closet that was filled with their own stuff and even if I wanted to hang anything (which I didn’t) there were no hangers. The bedding and towels were mix matched, old worn out and look like they were bought at a second hand store. The colors on the walls were dark and unappealing (dark pink with a dark blue ceiling). The doors had TWO GLASS PANELS on them and a tiny lock not conducive for safety, I slid the dresser in front of the door because of this. The bathroom in our room was beautiful, newly updated but little flies came up from the drain. The noises at night were unsettling. We were so unhappy and nervous that after check in at 3PM we locked our door and didn’t leave until morning. We couldn’t wait for morning to come. We are seniors and wanted to stay 1 night in La Spezia before heading to Cinque Terre . Some people said it was fine for one night but I wouldn’t stay 10 minutes here ever again.

    Absolutely nothing!

    This was a terrible experience . The space is cramped and weird. There’s no natural light- you wake up in a cave. There’s one window in a blocked corner that isn’t sealed. After 3 nights we were completely bitten up by mosquitoes. There’s hundreds of bites, including bites on my face. The toilet seat is coming off the hinges. It’s hard to fit into the shower. There’s no air except for an old oscillating fan. What I’m assuming was a maintenance person unlocked the door and entered our room one morning, which really scared us as two young women. The decor is really strange. The towels and sheets provided were old and tattered - they didn’t even provide 2 full size towels. There’s no spa as indicated. A big let down for the price.

    The room is in the middle of a big building and there is no view from the window except a dark backyard / alley. The interior design was sort of strange. It is a bit far from the railway station but there are stops for several bus lines around the corner.

    Quiet, ok faciities, has everything you need for a few days.

    the room wasn’t the same as in the pictures. I think it was just not safe and it was super ugly. It was clean but just in a bed condition. It was full of random restrictions and instructions.

    It was on a good location. The building was nice, the entertaining was smooth and easy. They replied and sand the information very quickly, but it was in Italian.

    The owner hanged up the phone when we called to get the info how to get in. He Never called back. If some other guest wouldn't have helped us to translate the info, we wouldn't have get in. The room was dark, old, weird and scary. And there was a huge amount of incenses which made a constant headache. I really wouldn't go back there ever even if I would get paid for it.

    Stayed here in July (and liked it so much I came straight back!) so see previous review for detail but MAN this place really undersells itself, from the pictures I thought I was getting a dated shabby little room, instead I was given a mini-apartment with my own hallway, large bedroom with 3 beds, big fridge and kettle, and spacious bathroom with a sauna, absolutely lush. I love the self check-in and self check-out so you can just arrive whenever and let yourself in, makes you feel like you're visiting your own holiday home instead of feeling like a guest in someone else's house. Missing it already, no doubt I'll be back again!
