Kiana

Disliked: Staff & service
Very stressful and disappointing experience with this property. Despite the listing stating that check-in was available in person between 7:30 AM and 7:30 PM, the host contacted me via WhatsApp, asking for personal information without any prior notice or confirmation through Expedia. I asked multiple times to continue communication through Expedia's chat, but the host ignored those requests and insisted on using WhatsApp — which goes against Expedia’s own safety guidelines. Even worse, the host completely stopped responding to messages and phone calls the evening before my arrival (well within the advertised reception hours) and did not reply until late the next morning. This left me feeling unsafe and unsupported in a foreign country, and I had no choice but to book a different accommodation last minute. No traveler should be put in that position. I don’t recommend this property to anyone looking for a safe and reliable booking experience.

Poor Service

I booked the hotel while I was on the road via Hotels.com and did not scroll to the bottom of the page where is showed the reception had closed prior to my booking time, After discussions with Hotels.com the refund was refused. There is 3 issues. 1. The booking was made after closing. This should not have been allowed 2. The hotel should have refunded the money 3. I will check the fine print more and use another booking site Be careful as this place closes at 18:30 for checkin honestly a time when people finishing work are still on the road. No Breakfast, no Check in desk, all in all a bad experience

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.

Central place in La Spezia with good walking distance to restaurants and train station (about 15 min walking). About 15 min away from good parking spaces in a parking garage (15 euro per day). Good place to stay if you just need a place to sleep
