Great location. Staff were very warm, friendly, and helpful. They highly recommended that I go to Portovenere, a half hour away (5 euros round-trip by bus), and I was really glad I did. It has a similar feel to Cinque Terre but without the big crowds.

My room was very small, but had everything I needed. It was funny because I went up 6 stairs to the bathroom, which seemed really big because it was about half the size of my room! There was a fragrance in the room, one of those plug-in things that emit a scent. It wasn't a bad smell, but I am sensitive to scents that aren't natural. The second night I actually put it outside my door. Other than that, it was a good stay and I would definitely consider staying here again!

A lovely hotel, right in the center, but set back enough from the main street, so there is no noise. Modern, clean, cheerful, TV, safe, fridge, everything needed was there. Spezia is a place that should definitely be visited. The manager of the hotel, Anna, is extremely friendly, very helpful for any question or problem. (La) Spezia is already worth enough to be visited, but you also have easy ways to see Cinque Terre, Portovenere, Pisa, Luca... Genova is also very near (one hour by train). https://www.instagram.com/boba_og/ (who wants to see pictures from Spezia, could find it here)

Short stay :(

The property was very different from anything I have stayed in before. It is very arty. It was very unique. It was in a very good position about 10 mins from the train station and 10 mins from the port. Lots of bars and restaurants around. All the staff and the owner were brilliant. Anna gave lots of information about where to eat and where to go. She always greeted everyone in the hotel everyday. It is a very small quiet hotel just off the Main Street but it was very quiet.

As a solo traveller and female it could be a little daunting being the only person in the hotel as there are no staff there over night. It didn’t bother me but it is something to be aware of.

The location was an easy downhill walk from the railway station, in the centre of town with easy access to shops and restaurants. All staff were friendly, happy and available to help if needed.

The Hotel was a hidden gem, set back from the main pedestrian mall, but the alley (vicolo) can be easily missed when walking down the street, especially if not paying attention and trying to decide which if the many restaurants to dine at. So, as a guide, there is a Tigota on the corner of Vicolo dello Stagno and Via del Prione.

This cute, artistic hotel is located perfectly - hidden in a side street right next to the main road with shops and restaurant. Anna from the hotel management welcomes the guests in a very friendly, warm manner and gives great insider tips to explore the area in and around La Spezia. Our room looked exactly like the pictures, with a spacious bathroom and a comfortable bed. At night it was very quiet, thus perfect to rest. We liked the art on the walls and the doors, it gives the hotel the special touch.

Maybe for a longer stay a larger storage space / wardrobe would be practical.

The room: everything you need for a short stay. The bed was amazing. The location was perfect. The breakfast was very good but quite limited with emphasis on local ingredients. The hostess was very proud and attentive in presenting the breakfast which made the limited selection more appealing. The coffee was exceptional. If you want a wide selection or if you want something warm like eggs, bacon etc., you will be disappointed. The hotel is small and cosy and therefore no room for a large breakfast. It didn't bother me at all.

I really don't have a lot to say but I'll say this: the hotel has no parking but that is expected due to its location. My room had a bathroom that was quite cramped with a very small shower. The hotel has old school keys and no reception after 18, but the hostess, Anna, messaged me the day before and would probably make arrangements if you had to arrive later.

It is a beautiful old building with lots of history and character. We really liked the artwork on the walls which is quite unique. We recieved a very warm welcome from both the owner Guiglielmo and Anna. They gave us lots of tips on where to visit and restaurants to go to.

It was a shame the hotel were not able to offer us the breakfast on site but this was explained to us beforehand and we were offered a simple Italian breakfast at the cafe next door, which was fine.

This hotel is well located within La Spezia, surrounded by shops and restaurants. The staff are friendly and helpful. Good internet, clean room and comfy bed. Bathroom and shower are great.

It’s hard to define boutique but for me it’s about more than writing words on white walls. Room lacked the warmer, soft furnishings. They have just started serving a la carte breakfast. I didn’t partake as the selection available was extremely limited. Small room.

Novecento is exceptional and unique; I have never visited a hotel like this one before! The staff treated us like friends and the overall hotel was small but felt very homey; there was a welcome air that quickly made us feel relaxed. From the hand-drawn designs on the walls of the rooms to the simple but tasty breakfast, we would visit again ❤️ Thank you very much to all the staff for being so kind to us; the boss even went through the trouble of escorting my bag to the station for me when I left it at the hotel

The location of this boutique hotel is amazing. It is in the middle of the busy town of Spezia but very peaceful. On top of that, it is very close to the train station and close to the harbor. Easy to move around whichever direction you choose. Secondly, what an amazing host we had, Anna and the rest of the staff are amazing. Very warm, kind, helpful made us feel very welcomed. I highly recommend this hotel, the perfect place to be when you visit Spezia.
