Excellent location and Extremely clean!
Excellent stay! Really close to restaurants and shopping. Walking distance to train station if you're planning on heading to Cinque Terre. Fabio was extremely friendly and helpful and our room was spotless. Highly recommend this spot!

Very modern hotel in ancient building
This hotel ticked all the boxes. We arranged to arrive after check out was closed and had no probs. there was a lift. The breakfast room and hotel room were really good. Breakfast good. A little noisy if the window was open but you get that in central locations

Unbelievably clean hotel in a great location
I've stayed in many, many hotels for work and leisure travel. This was the cleanest! You could perform surgery in the rooms. Everything was neat and tidy. I'm no clean freak, but I appreciated the attention to detail! The location is precisely midway between the docks and the train station and steps from the shopping district. However, you close the shutters and windows and it is totally quiet. The A/C is superb. We would not hesitate to use it again. One minor quibble. The breakfast is a bit modest, and like many hotels the staff put out cheese and ham. But the cheese was Philadelphia Cream Cheese and Bonbel Mini Cheese Wheels! There are a dozen cheese stalls in the market across the street! You are in ITALY! Why put out supermarket-style processed cheese food? A minor quibble, as I said. Great location, very comfortable.

Good "base station" for Cinque Terre
This actually an apartment converted to B&B. There is no signage, you have to locate it by the street & number. The frontage is just a barred gate, you have to press the intercom button for Urban Chic House to get the reception to remotely unlock the gate. The front desk is not 24/7, u have to inform them of your arrival time in advance. Once inside, the place is very modern & clean. The room was spacious, with strong wifi, good breakfast spread (fruit juice, coffee, cereals, fruits, pastries, yogurt, bread, ham. No eggs). Towels are changed only on alternate days. Toilet has hair dryer. Shampoo & shower gel come in sachets. Location is good, right in front of the Piazza Cavour food market. The room insulation was good, you hear no noise from the busy food market, and don't smell it too, until u step out of the building. It is midway between the train station and the marina. A good base station for visiting the Cinque Terre towns (train fare to the northern-most town, Monterosso, is only €2.70 one way). Good eateries around Urban Chic House, my favorite was All'Inferno. I would stay here again. Better than staying at one of the Cinque Terre towns which are too touristy, & u have to drag luggage uphill & downhill over cobblestone paths & steps.

Easy walk to train and ferry
Our reason for being in this area was to visit Cinque Terra. We had 3 nights at Urban Chic, which as a hotel, was very satisfactory, however we would have benefited more by staying at one of the towns in Cinque Terra. Going back and forth from La Spezia didn't lend itself to getting to know all the ins and outs of the walking tracks, trains and other things to do in the Cinque Terra area. It was disappointing that when buying a Day Pass to the area, that any other information, ie train schedule, walking track maps were not forthcoming.

Clean little hotel right in the heart of La Spezia
Just there for one night. Friendly and helpful owners / managers. Room was perfect size and nice and clean. Bit difficult to locate as there's no foyer (it's on the second floor of a building) and the signage is quite small. Close to the train and a perfect base for Cinque Terra.

Chinque Terre Access
We used Urban Chic house as our base for a visit to Chinque Terre. It was easy to access by walking from the train station and within a comfortable walking distance to the ferry. Tucked away inside an old building you are quite surprised to find a super modern accommodation. Fabio and his wife were excellent hosts providing us with good information about restaurants and sights. We took their advice and found the most delicious meal at All'Inferno.

Great Stay!
My wife and I had a great stay at Urban Chic House. It was a little challenging to check in because the house is on the third floor of a building and you have to ring the buzzer. We had to ring several times before the door was unlocked. Other than that the room was very nice, the staff answered any questions we had. And it was a great place to explore Cinque Terre

Spend your money elsewhere!
This hotel was exactly like IKEA - very modern look and feel but low quality. Wifi didn't work from my room, cable tv didn't load any of the channels, breakfast was low quality, bed was absolutely awful, hard as a rock, pillows were lumpy. I was only here for one night and used La Spezia as a jumping off point for Cinque Terre but for how much I paid I expected much better. If I were to come back to La Spezia I would try somewhere else.

Great Gateway to Cinque Terre
We visited Cinque Terre in mid-November, and used La Spezia and Urban Chic House as our gateway. The proprietor was a lovely lady who gave us great dinner suggestions (the best pesto linguine I've ever had), and pointed us to Portovenere for more scenic sightseeing. The rooms were large and in good condition, very modern. My only complaint is that the lights in the building stairwell were very dim or non-existent at night. A big dangerous to maneuver down stairs at night.

Cool place, great location
It is truly urban chic, only 6 rooms and I'm guessing run by two or 3 people with a couple of contract room cleaners. Unique horizontal lines along the hall hide the 6 doors. Room was spacious, bathroom very nice. They ask you to check in by 2pm, but will accommodate if you're still on the road. The location is perfect. Short walk to the boats and to the trains. There's an open market directly across the street.

Adorable bed and breakfast!
We spent 1 night here in mid-August while we hiked Cinque Terre. The staff was very friendly and accommodating letting us keep our luggage before and after check-out so we could hike the nearby towns. It is a small building but beautifully decorated with marble throughout, glass tile in the bathroom, plenty of space, and a small balcony providing a city and mountain view. The breakfast was wonderful with meat, cheese, cereal, yogurt, and tasty pastries. I would love to stay here again!

We loved the room so much when We just arrived. It is big enough, clean, close to an open market. However, the pub downstairs is very loud. We was moved to a small room after we complained about the noise. But we were charged with the same price as big room. That made us a little disappointed about this hotel.

Perfekt beläget endast 10 min promenad till tågstationen och hamnen. Väldigt rent och snyggt hotell. Personalen var exemplarisk och pratade mycket bra engelska, gav tips på hur vi skulle få vår resa så bra som möjligt. Mycket bra frukost. Detta är det bästa stället att bo på i denna prisklassen, rekommenderar det varmt.

Hôtel au cœur de la Spezia. Très propre et bien insonorisé de la rue. Décoration moderne. Un gros regret, l'immeuble qui accueille l'hôtel n'est pas en bon état et sent l'humidité. La première impression n'est du coup pas très bonne.

I hjertet av La Spezia.
Flott lite hotell/B&B med høy standard i hjertet av La Spezia. La deg ikke lure av den anonyme inngangen fra gaten, to etasjer opp befinner det seg 6 romslige og moderne rom. Rommene er innredet med Italienske designmøbler, og er romslig. Fint bad. Litt enkel frokost, kanskje, men helt ok. Kjøp evnt ordentlig kaffe på kafèen nede på bakkeplanet. Ekteparet som driver Urban Chic er veldig hyggelige, og gir gode råd på hva man bør se og oppleve i nærheten.

Sin cambio de toallas ni sabanas
En el hotel viene establecido que se realiza un cambio de toallas cada dos días y de sabanas cada tres días. En toda nuestra estancia (5 noches) no hubo cambio de toallas ni sabanas. Por otro lado, el aire acondicionado no funciona al irte de la habitación, con lo que al regresar a la noche al hotel hacia tanto calor como en la calle, al igual que el día de entrada, en la habitación hacia mucho calor al no estar funcionando el aire acondicionado.

Modernes Ambiente
Bei dem Urbau Chic House handelt sich um eine 200m² große Wohnung, in einem Gebäude welches 1907 gebaut worden ist, die umgebaut worden ist. Ergebnis - 7 Zimmer mit Bad in einem Modernen Ambiente! Der Eingang und das Treppenhaus sind echt schlimm.. umso größer war die Überraschung als wir das Zimmer betraten.

Fint, rent og ryddig hotell meg hyggelig betjening. Fint utgangspunkt for Cinque Terre, men ikke spesielt spennende by.
