What guests say

Reviews highlight excellent cleanliness and a warm welcome from the owner, who is very helpful with travel tips and local recommendations. The location is a major strength: close to both the town center and the train station, making it ideal for visiting La Spezia and the Cinque Terre. Rooms are comfortable, well-equipped, and generally quiet. Breakfast at nearby bakeries is much appreciated, and the presence of safety equipment is noted positively. A few guests mention minor issues like parking or slight humidity in the bathroom, but overall, the experience is highly positive and the property is recommended for its location, cleanliness, and hospitality.

Il Gelsomino d'oro is an excellent accommodation. The room, with a private bathroom, is very well cared for and perfectly clean. In addition, the location is convenient for reaching both the station and the city center. The owner is very kind and helpful and can give excellent advice on places to visit. Highly recommended.

Laila was very helpful. I called her the day before and she immediately answered. What can I say, I was super satisfied. The room was nice, clean, with everything I needed. I was happy and content. I recommend her 100%, thank you.

My wife and I stayed at the B&B over the Easter weekend in 2025. The property is strategically located: five minutes on foot from the station and the same amount of time from the pleasant city center of La Spezia. Additionally, it is convenient to reach the port for departures to the Cinque Terre (about ten minutes on foot), and a few steps away is the bus stop that allows you to reach Portovenere in about half an hour. The owner welcomed us exquisitely, providing precise advice regarding the wonderful possibilities offered by the splendid territory of the Riviera di Levante. The room is cozy, has independent access, and features good spaces and a private bathroom. It also has all the comforts (kettle, minibar, hairdryer, etc.) to ensure a pleasant stay (even beyond the classic weekend, in my opinion). Breakfast is served at excellent cafés and pastry shops just below the B&B: a choice we greatly appreciated for its quality and quantity. An aspect that could be improved, for which I don’t rate the property, is nonetheless neat and pleasant, with a 10 in cleanliness: the presence of a slight musty smell from the service, with forced ventilation, compatible with the ancient age of the building and easily resolvable by simply closing the door. One last highly positive detail that I find worth mentioning is the presence of safety devices fully compliant with current regulations and well marked (fire extinguisher and first aid kit) that I have hardly encountered in other B&Bs. In conclusion, I can only recommend the B&B Gelsomino d'Oro to those wishing to visit La Spezia, the Cinque Terre, and their enchanting surroundings.

The B&B is located in the center of La Spezia, on Corso Cavour. The station is 10 minutes away on foot, and there are many bus stops and services (such as supermarkets and restaurants) right outside the house. The location is very convenient. Moreover, Mrs. Laila, the owner of the B&B, is really nice and helpful; she made me feel welcomed right away. With a few bus stops, you can reach the port of La Spezia, where you can book boat trips to the Cinque Terre. The Cinque Terre can also be reached by train. In short, the property has an excellent location and nearby services. The breakfast is good, and you can have it in a bar right under the house.

The bnb is excellent. Everything super clean. The bed is super comfy and big. Is easy to go there from the train station. The host Laila is super charming. She will give you recommendations and even show you paths to walk on Cinqueterre park on real map, old school edition as should be. I would for sure come back. If you don't speak Italian, you should have the Google translate at hand.

The lady who hosted us was very kind and welcoming, explaining where to go, what to eat, and proved to be helpful in everything. Very convenient location as it is close to the station and the center. Very nice and clean room with air conditioning, also provided towels, maps, and brochures on local attractions. Delicious breakfast at a bar near the property. Highly recommended!
