Hotel Birillo

Pricing is good

Toilet was too small

Its close to train station & some restaurants. Cinque Terre is pretty accessible which is amazing. The staff is polite & they do a good breakfast.

Rooms are very basic, shower accessories are those paper sachets I haven’t seen in a while. My shower stall was so small, water got everywhere.

old style classic well worn hotel with friendly staff clean but rudimentary

towels smelt moldy

1. The overall service and the positive attitude of the complete staff was good. Very humble people. 2. The location. 12 - 15 minutes walking distance from the trainstation and on walking distance to the touristic ativities in La Spezia. 3. The homemade breakfast included in the price. Lots of sweet and savory pastries, fruit, cereal, coffee, tea, juices served in a very nice breakfast room. 4. Free daily room cleaning and towelchange. 5. The frontdesk is open till 23 pm, but they give you a key for a seperate entrance door. There is also a bell in case of emergency when the frontdesk is closed. 6. Good neighbourhood, a little bit noisy. If you are a lightsleeper. Take precautions. My Italian friends are just noisy people and some guests think that they are the only people in the world.

I liked almost everything at this 2 star hotel. The only thing that I did not like is that my room was right above the terrace where the guests are smoking. The smell of the sigarettes was very strong. I did not mention it to the friendly staff, because I was there only for 2 nights. Sure they would have done everything to comfort me.
