We really enjoyed our visit at The Poet Hotel! The room was modern and spacious. The staff was so helpful. We had to leave early in the morning and they packed us a nice breakfast to go. The front desk women really went way out of their way to make sure we had a great stay. Dinner suggestions and great directions. We will be back!

Property is very nice, clean, and convenient. However, we were disappointed with alleged VIP room upgrade. An upgraded room was available but only offered to us if we paid for upgrade. Not what we bargained for or what was promised by Expedia VIP amenity. Otherwise, hotel is very good. Outstanding breakfasy crew.

Stayed here to visit cinque Terre as well as boat around the sea. The Poet is a quick walk to the train station and also close to some great restaurants and areas to walk/shop. Hotel is clean and staff were very kind. Rooms are climate controlled and wash refreshing to walk into a cool room at the end of the day. Loved the balcony from the room. Just know that breakfast isn’t included.

Great for Cinque Terre travel

This hotel was the perfect place to stay when going to Cinque Terre if not staying in one of the towns. It was about a 5 minute walk to the train station in a nice area with some good restaurants near by. The hotel staff was great and held onto our bags for us since we arrived prior to check in time. They even put our luggage in our room when it was ready so we wouldn’t have to take it up the stairs.

The hotel was nicely decorated and the rooms were equipped with all the necessary amenities. A couple of things to have earned a five star for me would be as easy as providing slippers and a robe in the rooms or limited dining options (e.g., cheese and fruit plates, sandwhiches) for those not wanting to leave the hotel after returning from a long day out. Otherwise, it was great!
