“The Poet Hotel's location near the train station makes Cinque Terre easily accessible. I appreciate the hotel's embrace of modern art, extending even to the innovative breakfast area, and it is very guest oriented, featuring pet-friendly rooms and accommodating staff. From what I gather, the rooms are well-appointed, and the rainfall showers are a welcome luxury after a day of coastal exploration.”

Mixed Feelings About My Stay

climate controlempty minibar
The room's climate control was definitely off. The room was too hot and I could not adjust the temperature. The hotel could not fix it. The minibar was also empty, a little disappointing. It would have been nice to have some water or snacks available in the room. The combination of these small issues.
