Plan your stay at ARI Guest house

Guest house in the heart of La Spezia, a few steps from the central station, with air-conditioned rooms, balconies overlooking the city and personalized express check-in.

Room types

The rooms at ARI Guest house are divided into four types, from the more compact 14-square-metre Double Room to the 20-square-metre Triple Room with Balcony, designed for those travelling in a group or with an extra bed. All share air conditioning, soundproofed walls, a private bathroom with shower and bidet, a minibar and a flat-screen TV, elements that guarantee a good level of comfort regardless of the option chosen.

What sets the room types apart are the view and outdoor spaces: the Triple Room with Balcony and the Deluxe Double Room with Balcony both offer a view over the city, the latter with a small terrace, while the Deluxe Double Room focuses on extra amenities such as a walk-in closet and a safe. The standard Double Room, the coziest of the four, overlooks the inner courtyard instead, ideal for those seeking greater peace and quiet at night.
