This hotel is lovely and Paola, who speaks English well, is very welcoming and helpful. La Spezia itself was better than we expected based on what we had read about it. This was our base for an overnight stay so we could spend two days in Cinque Terre. The room is spacious and clean and the hotel is close to the main square where a typical Italian breakfast is arranged with a local cafe. It is also an easy walk from the train station or waterfront to catch transport to the Cinque Terre itself. We would definitely stay here again.
