A Boutique hostel in great location very close to Central train station. Wonderful host Francesco takes great care of needs and response quickly to inquiries. Delicious healthy breakfast for free.

The included breakfast was perfect and so delicious, the owner Francesco and the beds were very comfortable. Also, the location to the train station was seamless, like 3 minute walk or less.

Couldn’t ask for better location to explore Cinque Terre as the hostel is just steps away from La Spezia Centrale. The rooms are clean and spacious. The beds comfy. The bathrooms modern and clean. Great and healthy breakfast included. Francesco is an exceptional host !!!

Warm at night so needed windows open but was quite noisy outside and lots of mosquitoes came in

Lovely clean hostel with a calm friendly atmosphere, very close to the train station for exploring cinque terre and breakfast next door was fresh as tasty with lovely staff. Francesco was so welcoming and helpful and did everything to ensure a comfortable stay 😃

This place is an absolute gem! Francesco has exceptional hospitality and is always willing to provide invaluable recommendations for the Cinque Terre area. His lovely personality truly made my stay unforgettable - you really feel like family staying here. The complimentary wine, tea, and biscuits in the common area were cute touches, and the breakfast (from his brother’s cafe next door) was delicious. The dorms were spotlessly clean, and the bathrooms were fantastic. The location is also unbeatable - just a two-minute walk from the station. Hands down, this is the best hostel I've ever stayed in and I can't wait to come back! Grazie mille, Francesco!!!!

My only comment is I wish there was a couch or comfortable armchair I could hang out in.

Francesco the host was so warm and friendly, and gave great advice on things to do! The small hostel atmosphere made it fun and easy to meet people. The place was very clean and wasn't too crowded. Great location near Cinque Terre but also access to lots of restaurants.

Fantastic hostel, would definitely stay again. The owner is so welcoming and explains everyone you need to know about La Spezia and Cinque Terre. Modern, clean and spacious rooms and bathrooms. Small hostel so it felt very personable.

Everything went perfect.

I'd love the vibe of this place. It's a small hostel managed by two brothers, Francesco and Antonio. Also, you have a bar/bistro, Ciao Baby, downstairs serving great food. The bathrooms are great and you have plenty of space in the rooms. There is not space for a lot of guests, I think there is only 2-3 rooms, so is easy to met everybody in the kitchen and downstairs. The hostel is just a few steps from the La Spezia train station which turns to be easy to explore everything around like Cinque Terre villages.

Francesco was a wonderful host, so lovely and helpful. The breakfast was awesome and the hostel itself was everything you’d need - nice comfy beds, social area. Close to the train station for access to Cinque Terre

AC is slightly ineffective in the dead of summer and breakfast is modest.

Francesco our host was easily the best thing about my stay at the hostel. Accommodating, friendly and informative about the nearby Cinque Terre region. I would definitely come back here for my next time. Toilet facilities are new and impeccable. Literally two minutes walk from La Spezia so it's perfect for those who are looking to train it to the five coastal towns.

Nothing, it was perfect!

I had the best time here and made some great friends! Francesco was a fabulous host and his recommendations for the area were great! Everywhere was spotlessly clean and very nicely decorated, beds very comfy too! Great proximity to the train station for access to the Cinque Terre villages and beyond. Breakfast everyday was delicious and the staff at the bar very friendly! Will definitely be recommending to anyone visiting the area!

Everything is very clean. Very cozy hostel. Francesco is very friendly and always available to help. Very quiet environment.

The only ONE thing to note is that the door locks (including the washrooms) make a loud click every time it is being opened and closed. So if there are people leaving early in the morning, it is easily heard and can wake you up. BUT, since the beds are super comfy, I just end up going back to sleep :)

What can I say, by far the best hostel-style accommodation I've stayed in, and I've visited a lot, including Asia. COMMUNICATION: Ease of communication via Booking.com platform. Francesco is easy going and very keen to share recommendations and provide help. LOCATION: Very close to train station, easy to find. There's ample space in the rooms and washrooms. There's privacy provided even in the washrooms with its individually enclosed toilets. CLEANLINESS: Very Clean! Francesco prides himself with the cleanliness of the place. He makes the effort to clean the common areas every morning when everyone has gone out and ensures the facilities are clean and organized. One of the cleanest bathrooms i've been, and the water pressure is amazing! A hot/cool shower at the end of the day after hiking all day was something I also looked forward to. COMFORTABLE: Very comfortable beds! They also have privacy curtains, which I've only seen in the hostels in Japan, so this is a big plus for me! BREAKFAST: Awesome breakfast served every morning next door at Ciao Baby where they make their homemade Focaccia bread and granola. :) They make a great cup of cappuccino as well. ATMOSPHERE: Every one is so nice! It may be due to the awesome group staying at the time I was there but I had a lot of fun and getting to know the people during my stay. :)

Perfect hostel location for exploring the nearby cinque terre. Francesco & co were so lovely and accommodating at all times. Breakfast was delicious & the place was immaculate. The reviews I had read prior were good but it seriously exceeded my expectations! I will definitely be returning & recommending to all.
