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.

Poetry in motion.
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.

We had a tough travel day on our way to La Spezia, and it was such a relief to be able to walk from the train station in just a few minutes and have a beautiful hotel like Poet to stay in. Its such a nice space, full of artsy decorations and nice amenities. Staff were helpful. The location is very residential, so youre not really in the Cinque Terre action, but that helped us since we had a dental medical issue come up and had to find a dentist and pharmacy, all of which was literally 5 min walk away and very helpful. 7 minute walk to train station so you could easily visit all the villages of Cinque Terre. The hotel room was very pleasant, clean, comfortable with large bed. Felt like staying in North America. Breakfast had lots of diverse options and quality food. We would recommend.

Great hotel with great staff. Secure parking available off site. Breakfast a little disappointing - better coffee and no orange juice made from powder would have been welcome!
