Junior Suite Annex Building Review
I stayed in the Junior Suite for two nights while visiting Cinque Terre. Location is close to the water, cruise terminal and a park. Highly recommend No Name cafe for breakfast or aperitif. Plus an excellent restaurant, Pink Benny is next door! It should be noted that the building is not like a typical hotel. There is no reception for check in and instructions are sent via Whats App on how to get the key. It felt a bit like getting through an escape room at first but once you find the keys check in was easy! There is an elevator in the building. Once you check in there is a small hall with several updated suites. The suite was quiet, very clean, and provided a small mini bar for a fee. I felt very safe staying here! If you stay here to visit Cinque Terre via train the building is approximately a 15-20 minute walk. This was not a problem but if mobility is an issue I would recommend a taxi or utilize the bus system. Otherwise everything you need is within a 5 minute walk to explore La Spezia. I wouldn’t hesitate to stay again!

Beautiful location, great restaurants close to apartment. Very clean and close to the waterfront park. We truly enjoyed our time here. Bonus, the safe was stuck with our passports and they came out on a Sunday afternoon to rescue us. Best communication and went above and beyond what we expected. Highly recommend.

Don't fool by other negative comment. This is one of the best place when I stay in Italy. It is about 15 mins walk or 5 mins taxi ride from La spezia train station. I did not drive but see plenty of parking around. there is also public bus station right at the building. Owner of the unit provided clear instruction on how to get in to building and how to get the room card. we communicate by whatsapp but im not sure if it is the only way to talk. lobby is little dark but nothing to worry about. there is elevator so you dont need to take your luggage up. once you enter the unit, it is a different world, very modern and comfortable. there are 4 rooms and i dont hear anything from other rooms. in conclusion i would recommend this place for anyone who visit Cinque Terre.

If you want to be DISAPPOINTED stay here!
- No WhatsApp don’t book as this is the only form of communication you have with the owner. - Hotels.com states concierge service there was NONE, the room was located inside a residential apartment block with no obvious signage, NOT a HOTEL or even a B&B this it is a room sectioned off in an apartment. -Contacted via whatsapp and sent photos of lock boxes where each time a different key or card was obtained to be able to access the room, you don’t meet any concierge you are rather sent on a treasure hunt. - Free offsite parking hotels.com states, this is not the case, the off-site parking is the street and good luck, parking is scarce and small. Be aware this apartment does not have it’s own parking. - At 11pm the apartments power went out and people we unable to get into their room with their swipe card, we were told by 2 random people who were attempting to open peoples room with a key that the owner would be their in 10 minutes to fix the power, the owner never showed and their was a code to a lock box that was sent via whatsapp to all guest that opened an emergency box at the front of the apartment that held keys that could open everyone’s room BE AWARE this box could be opened by anyone staying in the room and meant that your room could have been opened and accessed by any number of strangers, VERY SCARY. - Air conditioner didn’t work. Whole experience lack lustre save your money and just stay else where

Loved the apartment, modern, nice design and super clean, fancy toiletries. Good location near the harbour, although good to note for a short stay is far end of town from station. Self check in was easy, good instructions and host was responsive to any queries. Not sure where the main building where any facilites is though, could not find any details about this (although we dis not need anyway).

We checked in late as our train didn’t arrive until 10:30 p.m. beware-as these people won’t help you after 5:00 pm. The door knob handle was off the door and on the floor when we arrived. We couldn’t get into the room. Both Expedia and myself called the owners several times and no one answered. They refused to credit our fees-even when we couldn’t get into the room due to a facility issue. The owner called me hysteric and dramatic and could have cared less that my family of four almost had to sleep on the hallway floor. We called 22 places and finally found ONE that could accommodate as at midnight. I’ll be disputing this charge as there is no way I am paying for this horrible experience and rude owners.
