    It was in a great location, easy to find restaurants and to wander around. Great breakfast. And we were able to store bags and come back to the same room

    The only thing we didn't like was that the room was a little too small.

    Location is really good. Room is nice and has everything you might need in it. Breakfast is in the cafe downstairs-small but nice- same as in the most italian cafes. Our room had a little balcony.

    1) Wifi: average level, if you need remote connection for work, sometimes it becomes slow, but most of time it’s enough. 2) No teeth brush; a little inconvenient. 3) Self-checkin instruction, if possible, can be clearer. Actually, I spent a little time to find the pad to enter password.

    Conclusion first: room is very clean, breakfast is coffee/bread, but “extremely tasty” (should be the best cappuccino I ever had in EU, for an Asian like me). It’s behind Benso’s bar, basically in a convenient area. A lot of restaurants nearby. No parking lot, but you can find one with €1.6/hr level, walking 10 min. No any counter, but self-checking password will be delivered via booking.com messages. Breakfast is in the bar at 1F; staff are very friendly, especially the young waiter. I’m glad I found and stayed here in the last minute. Absolutely recommend this B&B to everyone.

    The breakfast options could have been better.

    Loved the electronic security locks with codes. The accommodation had good amenities for a stay and the room was very clean and well maintained. It just takes 15 mins by walk to reach the La Spezia central train station which makes your life easy to commute between cinque terre villages.

    Being senior citizens, it was difficult to negotiate the stairs with our luggages.

    Breakfast was included and it was provided at Benso 1810 (cafe) which was just around the corner. I had a couple of requests and Giacomo (host) attended to them expeditiously.

    I wish the address of the rooms was in the reservation. We lost internet on our trip and had to ask around in how to get there. The areas for some reason complicated my data on my phone.

    I loved the safety and cleanliness/comfort of the room.

    Wasn’t an issue for us but travellers should be aware that the accommodation is only reachable by staircase.

    Fantastic location, great staff with a friendly attitude. We were kept well updated prior to our arrival and staff were able to store our bags after check out on departure. A great stay.

    Overall I was very satisfied with my stay. If I had to suggest something to improve on- it would have been good to have hair conditioner, and the mattress/pillow weren’t there most comfortable. But it didn’t stop me sleeping! But don’t let the above put you off - I Definitely recommend this place.

    Benso rooms was the perfect stay to explore Cinque Terre. Great location - between 10/15 min walk from La Spezia station which is easily connected to all the main villages in Cinque Terre and other main stations. Apartment is just off a main square. Self Check in system was very easy, with very clear instructions. The host was great at communicating and even had some great recommendations of things to do In the area. Breakfast was served at a cafe behind the apartments and it was very tasty, and the staff very friendly. They even let me store my luggage there whilst I explored the city.

    Perfect location in walking distance from station, port and in the center of the city close to the bus stops. Quick breakfasts provided in caffee bar. Very clean and comfortable room with balcony. As always when i am in italy during autumn or spring i found the building very cold but AC working perfectly for heating and i take the blanket from closet. I can only recommend Benso rooms. Slefchecking and keyless enter is very comfy too. Thanks for lovely stay

    breakfast isn't really breakfast, its coffee and croissant, but for Italians this is probably sufficient. However, supermarkets are near so you can buy fruit, yogurt etc. Very noisy in the street at night in and around the cafe below but once the cafe closed around 9.30 it was very quiet so would only be a problem for anyone going to bed early.

    The location is very good walking distance to the harbour and also the train station. Lots of cafes, restaurants and shops in the area so good for eating out. The contact with the host was very easy and always prompt. We had an issue with the toilet on the first day and it was attended to the next morning. Access was easy via keypad and the cafe below where you get your daily coffee and croissant was very lively and the staff very friendly. Great to have coffee and tea making facilities in the room.
