Metropolitan is a non-smoking guest house in the centre of La Spezia, about 350 metres from La Spezia Centrale station and just steps from the city’s ancient 14th-century walls.
The property offers two types of air-conditioned rooms, both equipped with a desk, electric kettle, refrigerator, safe, flat-screen TV, terrace overlooking the inner courtyard and a private bathroom with shower and bidet. One of the two rooms also has its own balcony, a detail that sets it apart from the other available option. Sheets and towels are provided to guests, as is free WiFi throughout the property.
The central location makes Metropolitan a practical base for those arriving by train or wanting to explore the city’s main points of interest on foot, from Castello San Giorgio to the Amedeo Lia Museum. Reviews particularly praise the cleanliness, comfort and helpfulness of the staff, making this accommodation suitable for both couples and solo travellers visiting Liguria.
The two room types offered by Metropolitan share the same basic standards: air conditioning, private bathroom with shower and bidet, desk, electric kettle, refrigerator, safe and flat-screen TV. Both overlook a terrace with a view of the inner courtyard, a detail that provides natural light and a small outdoor space even in a central urban setting.
What sets the two options apart is mainly the size and the presence of a balcony: the Double Room with Balcony covers 15 square metres and is the only one with this additional private view, while the Double Room, slightly larger at 17 square metres, offers a more generous interior space. Both can accommodate up to two people and are equipped with a large double bed, ideal for couples or travellers looking for a practical stay in the centre of La Spezia.
This 15-square-metre room is the only one in the property with a private balcony, in addition to the shared terrace overlooking the inner courtyard.

A compact yet complete option, designed for those who want a small outdoor space all to themselves.
At 17 square metres, this room is the larger of the two options offered by Metropolitan, though it lacks the private balcony found in the other type. It still offers a terrace with a view of the inner courtyard, air conditioning, a desk, electric kettle, refrigerator, safe and a private bathroom with shower and bidet, providing a more generous space for those seeking more room indoors.
Metropolitan is an entirely non-smoking property, designed to offer a practical stay in the centre of La Spezia.

Metropolitan is located in the historic heart of La Spezia, on Via Claudio Monteverdi, just metres from the ancient 14th-century walls and Porta Isolabella, remnants of the city’s fortifications still clearly visible within the urban fabric. The area is residential and lively, with shops, bars and small venues bringing life to the streets of the centre without the traffic of the main thoroughfares.
La Spezia Centrale station is about 350 metres away, convenient for those arriving without a car and wanting to travel along the Ligurian coast towards the Cinque Terre or Genoa. The Amedeo Lia Museum is about 950 metres away, while Castello San Giorgio, which overlooks the city from above, can be reached in about 15 minutes on foot, just over a kilometre away. Pisa Galileo Galilei Airport is 65 km away, a useful option for those arriving by plane from abroad.
Just a short walk from the property is also the Technical Naval Museum, about 1.6 km away, along with several spots for breakfast or a quick snack, such as Pasta Fresca Ambrosini at 250 metres and Pasticceria Silvana at 400 metres. In summer, La Spezia is a convenient starting point for reaching the beaches of the Gulf and the Cinque Terre by train or ferry, while in the cooler months the historic centre, museums and walks along Viale Mazzini offer a slower pace, ideal for those wanting to discover the city without rushing.
