Boutique Hotel Novecento

Great boutique hotel right in the heart of La Spezia. Close to the train station and Ferry to access the beautiful Ligurian Coast, including the Cinque Terre. The hotel has an art feel to it, spacious rooms, decorated in white and grey. Breakfast quality was excellent, with organic produce, fruits and delicious yoghurt and jams made locally. The staff were very helpful and welcoming. Thank you Gugli and the team for making our stay so special. We will return! Kim and Sandra

From the moment we arrived Anna looked after us - such a lovely girl - so helpful and friendly. She advised us re where to go and how to visit the Cinques Terres and recommended and booked a restaurant for us whcih wasn't too 'touristy'. When she checked us in and looked at our passports , she spotted that it was my husband's birthday and arranged for some lovely sweet treats (cakes) for him and put them in the fridge for when we returned to the room that day. The room was beautifully clean and the bed was comfy and the breakfast was nice with good coffee made by Mary in the morning. I would 100% recommend this hotel, hidden away yet situated conveniently in the heart of La Spezia. Thank you, Anna - hope to bump into you in Brighton one day!

The hotel is located in a great area of La Spezia with walking access to the harbor, train station and city center. The room was good size and bright and clean. The bathroom was fully equipped. Nice home-made daily breakfast buffet. Staff very friendly and helpful. They went out of their way to help. We will stay there again. It is a short walk from the train station but it is hidden off the main street so pay attention to the directions. As far as location, you can't get better location in La Spezia. We will stay there again.

Lovely little hotel, small but perfectly formed room with most importantly a very comfy bed and a great shower (h and breakfast was spot on also) What sets this place apart though is the friendliness of all the staff. They put up with my faltering italian as we chatted about all sorts of things. Recommend

Very friendly staff, good value for money. The selection for breakfast is perfect for a small hotel like this. Also a perfect location near both train station, shopping street and the seaside where you can access the boats and buses. Minus for no ventilation in room and bathroom. Not very well insulated, but expected I guess due to an old building.

A boutique hotel is defined by its tasteful rooms and general ambience (decoration, quality of furniture, etc.). The only worthy part of this establishment is its façade. As you may see in the attached photos, the furniture in my room were cheap, the plaster on the walls was chipping and in the (big) bathroom the tiles were all PAINTED grey, which, evidently, lead to peeling off the moment you accidentally put your nails on them. Moreover, a hotel: 1. has a reception that caters for the needs of the guests. In our case, the reception was both days absent after early evening hours. When there was an internet break down, there was noone from the hotel staff to give some guidance or explanation to the guests, who, to their despair, were in the lobby trying to figure out what to do. 2. does not run out of clean glasses in the middle of breakfast (09:00). Not to forget the stains on the sheets (see relevant photo). As far as the young man that had the role of the receptionist (not after evening hours of course..), he scarcely followed the mandatory measures concerning COVID 19 (wearing a mask). The only not disappointing part of my stay was the location of the establishment, right in the city centre. Based on all the above, I am afraid that I do not recommend this accommodation.
