Hotel Firenze E Continentale
Great location near the train station to visit Cinque Terre. Clean rooms, comfortable bed and good breakfast buffet. We stayed before we went and stayed a few nights in Monterosso and then stayed another night before taking the train to Naples on the way to Sorrento. Very convenient and clean!

CDH Hotel La Spezia
Location was good. Hotel was cleaned very good every day. Only thing was we were in a handicapped room ( we're not handicapped) and the shower sprayed all over the room. But the cleaners were excellent. Would recommend this hotel in La Spezia.

AllegroItalia La Spezia
Very basic, but clean, room. Sound-proofing not great. Breakfast was poor. Reception staff friendly and helpful. Quite a long walk from the station, but handy for boat and bus.
