Coffee and Nutella B-ready bars restocked every day, as well as two bottles of water and an ice tea for the room which I hadn't expected. Good size fridge in room for keep our drinks cool and storing some food items we bought from the local supermarket. Room made up every day and fresh towels supplied after our second night staying there. Large fan above the bed and TV in room which you can connect to Netflix/Now/Rakuten, etc. Great little balcony overlooking street below and hillside in the distance (see photo). Pharmacy, supermarket, shop to by bus tickets and train station all in walking distance (train station walk is about 10 minutes downhill). Host was very friendly and helpful...he didn't speak much English (and we didn't speak much Italian!) but with Google Translate we managed to communicate enough (and he managed to tell us where to buy bus tickets, where the supermarket was, where was good to eat locally without the help of Google). Would certainly stay again.

What didn't we like... So much to love! The minute we arrived in Le Spezia we were greeted by Gio who , with his hands full, carried my wife's luggage up the stairs and directly in the room. The space was absolutely huge! It was so clean, it was spacious, the balcony was a perfect touch to enjoy the nights after a long day exploring Cinque Terre. Every morning when we left, Gio greeted us with a bright and joyful " CIAO" with a big smile on his face. Shortly after... Ms Gina followed and she was the perfect start to every morning we didn't know we needed. This BNB was close to everything ( grocery store, bus, train, Centrale). We loved our stay and looking forward to going back!

Everything was nice, the bedroom and the entire location was clean. We had every morning coffee and something sweet to eat. We had free parking on the street and acces to a bus nearby.

It was very hot inside the room, the air conditioner should be the next improvement.

Beautiful furnishing of lobby and the room. Old fashioned and classy, deserving of 'Retro' name. Cleanliness of room at beginning, full room service after night one. Balcony was great. Liquid toiletries excellent.

Room service was only partial or limited affter days two and three. Ran out of special coffee/milk for machine. Ran out of toilet roll early on departure day.

The room was clean, very comfortable and nicely decorated. We felt very safe there and the host was great. The room had everything we needed with fresh cold water and coffee provided each day. We thought the location was good for us, about a 15 minute walk in to town but as we were mostly visiting Cinque Terre then we weren’t spending much time in town

it was all great

The owner takes much pride in his establishment and it shows. It is beautifully refurbished and spotlessly clean. Coffee, tea, juice, water and small snack included. Easy to reach from the train station either on foot or by bus.

A bit of a language barrier but nothing we couldn’t work through with a little patience and good humour.

The environment was pleasant, very good. The location is very close to the train station. The hospitality was very good. Everything was very good

Clean and comfortable, about a 15 min walk to the train station to go to Cinque Terre, nice amenities

a bit further of a walk to go to La Spezia main restaurants etc but reliable bus system

Nice and Clean

very hot even with fan on - also the coffee machine didn’t reach the power to work

Although it is called RetroB&B there is no breakfast. I was directed to a local patisserie. There was a coffee machine in the room and a couple of coffee and milk capsules . There was a fridge and water was given and replenishes each day.

No body around to ask for info. Like the buses stop running at around 8.30.-9.0. p.m. So a 15 minute walk up a dark road with unpredictable pavements or a 10Euro taxi, if one can be found.
