The hotel is hard to find, especially at night, and has way too many stairs to climb and no elevator but the rooms are really nice! They all look recently renovated and are very clean and the beds are so comfortable! It’s also a great location and is only a 5 minute walk from La Spezia station. I would definitely recommend staying here!

Real nice appartment close to La Spezia station. But be aware: 5th floor place with no elevator. The host was really kind and gave us several restaurant options

Please please please be wary of staying here!!! Very complicated check in procedures that you do not know until after booking. I actually did not even get to stay in this place, because the key they left me broke into two pieces as I tried to open the door. I have unlocked a million doors in my life and never had a key break on me. I was given no empathy or help during my situation. Owner did not honor anything or offer a single cent, only offered the next night to stay, but I was passing through on my way to a meeting in Florence and just needed a nice night's rest. Owner is very un-empathetic. Apparently, accommodating for a late check in makes me undeserving of a refund. I don't even understand what accommodations they made because all they did was leave a key in a lockbox at a different location not even at my hotel. Myself and Expedia called to ask for a refund since I did not even step foot in the room. The owner will not return emails or answer anyone's calls. I did not even step foot into the hotel room, so they did not have to clean or pay for anything, yet they still will not refund even a cent. Please be very very careful about staying here, because if anything goes wrong you will not be treated respectfully! I was really excited about my stay, I wish it would have worked out. But just a note to anyone else staying this is not like a hotel with a reception this is more of an air bnb type situation.

Good location, easy and accessible to train station or center area. The room is very clean, spacious and well maintained! The host helped a lot! No elevator, would recommend to come with small luggage or backpack.

The place is really nice and clean, we checked in early and couldn’t find the place , the owner sent someone to help us find the place. The owner only speaks Italian, it’s on the fifth floor and no elevator.

We loved our stay here, La Spezia is a great place to stay if you plan to visit Cinque Terre and would like to be based somewhere a bit quieter with generally less expensive food & drinks in the town. Bellavista was clean and modern, note that there are 10 flights of stairs to reach the rooms from street level. The fridge in our room wouldn’t go cold which resulted in a lot of the perishable food we bought going to waste which was unfortunate. I would stay again though.

LOTS of stairs (over 80 steps to get to the 4th floor) ; I should have read the prior reviews. We were fortunate since we only had 1 small piece of luggage and the host was kind enough to carry it up. Parking is horrible - we read reviews not to park at the train station so it took us over 1 hour to find a spot. The room was small but clean. There are restaurants nearby.

Mini Suite with a nice view and close to the main business section of the city, No lift and on the 5th floor so this is not for the weak. But if you are up for the climb the view from the terrace is worth it, especially with a bottle of local wine.

Our stay at Affittacamere Bellavista was not what we expected. After reading reviews we were aware that the hotel was located on a hill and that there was about 40 steps outside, however we had no idea that there was an addition 60 stairs once arrived at the residence. In addition, our air conditioning did not work (which was terrible for our stay in August) and when we messaged the Hotel for help the next day we received a rude voice message that was inappropriate. On the positive side, the hotel was clean, and just steps away from the Train station making it easy to get to Cinque Terre in the morning.

Very cosy little flat, perfect for a small family

We looked for a place to stay that was close to the train station and Bella Vista is certainly that. Very small but clean and does have a view out over the mountains and town. A very steep 5 floor walkup with luggage could have been a challenge but our hostess picked up our big bags and ran them right up to our room which was very helpful. This, after she walked to the train station to show us the way in. There is a great shower in the room and a very comfortable bed. Just a block away from the main shopping streets and promenade to the Cathedral area. Good coffee cafes within a few minutes walk as well.

This room was really nice. Newly updated with modern furnishings and very high end finishes. There were of course 5 flights of stairs, but anywhere in this region will pretty much have stairs. We stayed in the blue room and had a beautiful view. My only recommendation would be to add a mirror outside the bathroom (either over the desk or a full length on next to door). We would definitely stay here again.

This property is a converted apartment. They have three 'hotel' rooms and the one we booked was very, very nice...if you want to climb 10 flights of stairs to your bed. The room is on the 5th floor and to get to the entrance of the building, you have to climb four flights of stairs from the street. Once in the door to the unit, it's another flight up to the bedroom. There is no elevator. We ended up booking another hotel, as we were not about to hoof our luggage up all those stairs - we were on vacation. To be fair, the beautiful woman who checked us in was very willing to help with the luggage... Bottom line - amazing unit, ridiculous amount of stairs.
