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!

My stay at the Poet hotel was wonderful! The hotel is perfectly located just a short walk from the train station, making it incredibly convenient for day trips to Cinque Terre. The hotel itself is as beautiful as the photos online. It was stylish, clean, and full of charm! The staff was also warm and welcoming. If you're looking for a comfortable and aesthetically pleasing place to stay, with easy access to Cinque Terre, this hotel is a fantastic choice!

The hotel was ok, but it did not have a restaurant on site, which I find comfortable if you come back tired and do not wish to go out to dinner or even to do room service. Housekeeping service did not replenish soap or other toiletries. The area is ok too, not too many fine dinning options and there is nothing at all to visit in La Spezia. If you do not wish to stay in one of the Cinque terre cities, La Spezia is a good option since it is quite big.

I loved this hotel. 24/7 concierge with at least two people. Very close to the Main Street that has all shops and bars. This is a great hotel to keep as a home base if you are visiting Cinque Terre. The train station was a 7 min walk.

The Poet Hotel is a very nice building with clean interiors and comfortable rooms. It was exactly what we were looking for in a hotel that mainly served as a place to stay. It’s located very close to the Main Street where there are fantastic restaurants and nightlife. However the street its on is quite dark and slightly dirty. The staff were friendly, kind, and helpful. The service was okay, as our room was cleaned each day but the minibar was not filled. Also, the phone in the room did not work which made it difficult to call the hotel.

I have stayed here over 10 times in the past year. All the staff are fantastic and the location ideal and in close proximity to all amenities. The hotel is clean with excellent showers. Breakfast is good with decent coffee. Parking can be provided by the hotel but can be found on Via Garibaldi and Easypark app makes an easier and cheaper option. Always look forward to staying here.
