Very difficult to reach the rooms- it’s in a residential building, 3rd floor. No one is there to help with luggage which needed to be dragged over several steps then an old elevator. The room was clean. Amenities very basic. Overall not a bad option if you don’t have heavy luggage.

The hotel is small and cozy. The room was very big, with plenty of space for two adults. It was clean and well-equipped, with a small fridge, a kettle, tea bags, a coffee table, and two chairs. Although it was cold outside, the room was perfectly warm and comfortable.
The breakfast was great, offering a wide and varied selection, and the quality of the food was outstanding.
The location is excellent very close to the train station, where you can easily catch trains to the Cinque Terre, just a 5-minute walk from the harbor, and within easy reach of many bars and restaurants for dinner.
A special mention goes to the staff, who were extremely kind, professional, and always ready to help with any request.
Overall, the experience was very good.

Its location is very convenient, just a short walk from the train station, the historic center and the Harbor.

We had a fabulous stay at Cinque Terre Gateway! Michael went above and beyond to help us.

He was on his way out and spotted us pulling our luggage and introduced himself. He then helped with our luggage and getting us settled and oriented to the city. He recommended some fabulous things to do in the area including 2 wineries. I would highly recommend this as a place to stay in LaSpezia/Cinque Terre. Perfect location with lots of shopping and restaurants within walking distance. Be sure and include breakfast in your stay. Wonderful caffe with great coffee, juice and pastries.

Great place to stay if you’re going to Cinque Terre. Clean and comfortable. However you need to know that there is no staff in the property, everything is autonomous.
I recommend you to double before paying the city tax because they charged us the double amount. In theory they have made a refund but it’s been a month already, and we still haven’t received it. The only response the property says about it is “you need to check with your bank”, they are not helping. Our bank says there is no refund so I’m starting to think that no refund was made..

Great accomodation in the centre of La Spezia. There is a carrefour express just below which is convenient and the train station is less than 5 mins walk away. The shopping street with stores and restaurants just beside. Inside a vintage building and vintage small lift but the room has a modern look.

Only bad thing to say is about parking. When booking it mentions parking available. However they only message you 2-3 days before with instructions to book. Most parking is booked by then. Luckily I was able to find street parking near by.

Our room was not cleaned our first nught but housekeeping came in and opened the windows and it had been raining all day so our clothes got extremely damp and the bed was wet from the rain. It took several attempts to get them to come and finish cleaning the room. If your looking for a room close to the train station its a 3-4 minute walk which was perfect!

There was a desk and wine glasses and bottle openers and a safe with large closet space. The cleaning service was amazing. It's all contactless check in so you must be okay sending documents (ID/passports) via Whatsapp. There are codes to get into the building which worked fine. The lobby/building/elevator was very old and hard to navigate with large suitcases. The location was pretty good, near the main strip but in a bit of a sketchy square. It was a 5min walk to the train station and maybe a 15min walk to the port. Lots of restaurants and shopping nearby. Easy to train to Cinque Terre but busy trains.

Kind of a strange place. Close to what you need in La Spezia, the train and the main street. Breakfast was just outside the building at a local place and was very good with friendly service.
The rooms were clean and had some space, and the building itself gave a taste of living in the city.
The strange...There wasn't anyone on the property to help. Communications were through whatsapp. That meant no iron or other amenities like that. There was a specialty coffee machine in the hall for a small fee, an ice machine, and candies in the common hall. Someone came to clean and that's all you'll see from the hotel. Guests talked to each other for help.
Good place to stay for the Cinque Terre, but just don't expect a hotel experience

Beautiful apartment. Our mistake for not researching site as we assumed it was a hotel (by the name). Signage terrible - but that is Italybas a whole. The number 15 for address was on building as was the plaque that said “Gateway to Cinque Terra” but the building was under construction so scaffolding and netting covering entrance. The 3 minute walk ended up being an hour an a half. I guess if we,’d realized it was not a hotel, but an apartment we would not have been mislead. Overall, though, once we were there it was a lovely place to be stationed at to see Cinque Terra. We took a ferry next day to Monterosso and walked over the mountain to Venazza! A real workout and beautiful views and scenery from the top!

Since it's located on the 3rd floor, we had t use the tiny old elevator (the one that you have to open/close the doors manually). It was really weird to go through all of this. Also you have to check in before 7:30pm or you'll be charged EUR75.

Anyway, check in was a breeze and the room is very clean and looks luxurious. Everything about the room and bathroom is about the nicest thing you can find in a 5-star hotel.

Breakfast was not that great. No buffet breakfast compared to other hotels. You have to go out to the adjacent Elite Cafe to get your breakfast by presenting the coupons. You will get coffee, juice and a cornetto.

However I cannot give a higher rating because I felt cheated. I thought the bathrobes and slippers are free to use (as in a 5-star hotel). I did not notice any signs that says I will be charged EUR15 to use the bathrobes and slippers. If I had seen the sign, I would never use them since there's no reason to use them at all. Maybe the sign fell flat on the shelf who knows. Because of this, I was charged upon checkout.

Checking out was a breeze too, although I did not receive any itemized receipts. I suggest that they should issue a receipt with details on what is being charged.

In summary, this is a very good lodging in an excellent location close to the train station.

The location was excellent and only a quick walk to the train station. The room was modern and had everything you needed for a comfortable stay.
The property was easy to find and once you enter through the wooden doors it wasn’t communicated to find the lift, which is at the back of the courtyard and to the right, then go to level 3. But a quick phone call resolved this. I would highly recommend this property.

Tight schedule

We only stayed one night as we had to drive to the next location the next day with tight schedule. But the check in time at this place is very specific which means we did not have the flexibility to arrive, check in and leave our bags to then do Cinque Terre really quickly. We had to leave everything in the car (La Spezia feels a little dodgy even though nothing happened) and we visited two to three places and then had to go back to check in and then visit some other places. All in all a bit of a faff! Otherwise the room was clean and the outsourced breakfast although not ideal suited our needs.

Beautiful room, excellent price and great access to Cinque Terre - the only challenge is making sure you check in during the hours posted since they do not have full time reception:

Hard to find and get into the building.

The entry times are not good, they say email them and they will let you in out of their hours, their hours are 7.30am to 12pm then 5pm to 7.30pm.
We used their email 24 hours before but did not get a reply.
We had to wait for 3 hours until 5pm, very hard to find the place as there is a small Gateway sign on the wall nothing else, if you have luggage then it is hard work, they have a small door in a large door so you have to lift your luggage over the bottom rail about 250mm high.
Once in the courtyard there was No sign to tell you that the apartments/reception was on the 3rd floor, the owner waved to us from the window, lift was so old, slow and very small, would take 1 person and suitcase.
We have never seen a hotel with so many rules that you had to comply with, it clearly stated that you could not use the mini bar fridge to store anything in.
The bedroom it self was very nice, clean, the best we had on our tour of Italy.
The owner was very pleasant.

Maybe this is normal for small European hotel. I was surprise when I found out the hotel only has 6 rooms and occupy only 1/4 of the 3rd floor in the residential building. But after we enter the room, it didn't bother us anymore, the interior was newly renovated, clean, modern and comfortable. It comes with a sofa bed, so the room is big enough to fit 3 adults, or 2 adults with 2 kids. They won't supply fresh tower unless you pay a little extra, it was like 3 Euro a day or something. They have coffee machine and filter water with lemons in the hallway which you share with the other guests. The location of the hotel is great, only a few minutes walk from the La Spezia Central station and 13 minutes walk from the pier.

Fabulous hotel near to the station

We had an excellent stay at the Cinque Terre Gateway. The hotel room was large and well equipped with tea/coffee making facilities and water.

The hotel is very close to the station but about 20 minutes walk down to the port area, but well worth it.

Tip - if you want train tickets get them the night before as the queues can be very long in the morning.

When you arrive it is an old building, but inside it's all beautifully remodeled. Train station is 5 minutes away to go to Cinque Terre. If you drive a car like we did, we had a private parking right around the corner. Parking is extra 20 dollars a day, but it is so worth it. I would stay here again.

Amazing site, if you are looking for a no frills hotel, super clean and great room this is an amazing hotel. Only issue is finding it in La Spezia. Even though we had the address it was hard to find

Tell guests to ask for their coffee and pastry to go and it will eliminate most of the negative

This place was GREAT! Near the train station (where we parked the car) and extremely accommodating to our last-min and late check-in. The hotel room was very clean, smelled good, and was comfortable. Close to everything. I would stay here again and again!
