Check in process was a nightmare! Do NOT book this property unless you use WhatsApp and plan to have cell service while in country. There was no other option to receive the check in information and building codes. No flexibility was offered, and no sympathy was expressed by the manager. We were told we'd be "outside," unless we were able to use WhatsApp. The room was not even at the address listed on orbitz and was actually around the block. It was a stranger letting us borrow her phone that ultimately allowed us to access our room.

Disappointed once we finally found it
This was an interesting experience. We spent nearly an hour trying to find the “hotel”, which proved to be difficult bc it’s not a hotel. Thankfully some locals saw us struggling with our luggage and came to help. The ROOM itself looks just as pictured. However, everything else is quite sketchy. Upon arrival we were asked for our what’s app info to send us instructions on how to get in. There was this building (with spray paint graffiti all around and metal bars on windows and doors) that we needed a code to get into. We got the code and were instructed to go to a lockbox that had a key for us. No receptionist/concierge (as their website mentions concierge, food, tours, etc…but we never saw a soul). The website also shows photos of a different town that is a train ride away as if it’s near the “hotel”. We honestly almost left and ate the price. After an hour discussion, we decided that we would be taking trains each day to explore this area of Italy anyways and the room itself was fine, so we did end up staying. I was very much looking forward to a luxury hotel for this part of the trip and that’s absolutely not what this is. Again, the room/bathroom is exactly as pictured except for some minor broken things that don’t matter (like some paint needing touched up or shower drain loose etc). We definitely felt duped.

Junior Suite Annex Building Review
I stayed in the Junior Suite for two nights while visiting Cinque Terre. Location is close to the water, cruise terminal and a park. Highly recommend No Name cafe for breakfast or aperitif. Plus an excellent restaurant, Pink Benny is next door! It should be noted that the building is not like a typical hotel. There is no reception for check in and instructions are sent via Whats App on how to get the key. It felt a bit like getting through an escape room at first but once you find the keys check in was easy! There is an elevator in the building. Once you check in there is a small hall with several updated suites. The suite was quiet, very clean, and provided a small mini bar for a fee. I felt very safe staying here! If you stay here to visit Cinque Terre via train the building is approximately a 15-20 minute walk. This was not a problem but if mobility is an issue I would recommend a taxi or utilize the bus system. Otherwise everything you need is within a 5 minute walk to explore La Spezia. I wouldn’t hesitate to stay again!

Beautiful location, great restaurants close to apartment. Very clean and close to the waterfront park. We truly enjoyed our time here. Bonus, the safe was stuck with our passports and they came out on a Sunday afternoon to rescue us. Best communication and went above and beyond what we expected. Highly recommend.

Don't fool by other negative comment. This is one of the best place when I stay in Italy. It is about 15 mins walk or 5 mins taxi ride from La spezia train station. I did not drive but see plenty of parking around. there is also public bus station right at the building. Owner of the unit provided clear instruction on how to get in to building and how to get the room card. we communicate by whatsapp but im not sure if it is the only way to talk. lobby is little dark but nothing to worry about. there is elevator so you dont need to take your luggage up. once you enter the unit, it is a different world, very modern and comfortable. there are 4 rooms and i dont hear anything from other rooms. in conclusion i would recommend this place for anyone who visit Cinque Terre.
