    It's important to realize that certain things are going to be an issue no matter what hotel you find in this older town. There is nowhere to pull up near the hotel and unload luggage since it's a busy street. For anyone who is not used to the concept of aparthotels this location might seem unusual. It's a bunch of individual, modern rooms that have been set up on one of the floors of this old apartment building. We followed the instructions and were able to get into the building. But then, being late at night, the staircase up was completely dark without one single light, like an abandoned building. I imagine it's part of the effort to save on electricity. It was a bit spooky and we weren't sure to continue. But then finding the main door of the company, you step into a fully lit corridor that feels like you've entered another building entirely. So just keep that in mind if you encounter the same dark staircase. There is a bit of street noise but that is probably the same in any of the buildings around town. And the little fridge made a lot of noise during our sleep so we had to unplug it.

    Room is very clean, modern and decent size (not big but not too small). Compared to all other hotel options we found, this was certainly more modern and new, although it's located in an old building. The location of just a few minutes walk to the train station was excellent. We had issue with the recommended parking lot and couldn't load the website for some reason, but it actually worked out better for us to park in the train station since we needed to leave the car there beyond check-out time of the room. The staff communicated very readily which was a big help. Follow the instructions you receive in the email and the following texts and you won't have check-in issues. We chose not to include the breakfast and were happy we just went to the same coffee shop on our own and ordered what we wanted instead of being confined to what the arranged, small breakfast was. There is a small, self-serve coffee machine in the hallway but make sure to have coins to use it.

    This is a great location. Literally 4min from la spezia centrale. I looked and searched cinque terre and puerto venere and so glad I went with the cinque terre gateway. We came from Milan and had multiple delays. I informed the owner of our plans and emailed the property. He immediately responded and the day of travel, I was in constant communication with him. We arrived late..this is not a hotel. There is no reception. So the owner provided us with all the information for checkin. It went very smoothly. People who complained about the late arrival didn't read and contact the property with travel plans. We had water and tea kettle in our room. Beds were comfy and to be honest everything we needed. Pharmacy is close, port is close to even take a boar ride. Great restaurants to walk and eat at night. Thanka you Mike for everything. You made our visit very comfortable.

    Don´t be late for check-in because the owner did not want to check us in at 10:00 pm even though it was beyond our control as we had a diverted flight and we had to find another hotel last minute for the first night! I even offered to pay a charge but the owner didn't want.

    Very well located, few minutes walking from La Spezia station. A big room with a good shower. Modern room and very spacious!

    The breakfast is an Italian breakfast and I don’t think it worths to pay in advance when you book the room or pay at the property. You can choose only one croissant with different flavors such as cream, plain, pistachio + one drink (hot chocolate, cafe or fruit juice)

    Very well located, few minutes walking from La Spezia station. A big room with a good shower. The staff is really welcoming and arrange everything to you to checkin earlier or leave your suitcases in the hotel before the checkin hours in case the room is not ready
