Recommendations: Would be nice to have softer towels. Breakfast would be even better with more fruits and veggies.

Excellent location just steps from Fegina (Il Gigante) beach! The hotel is only a comfortable 5–6 minute walk from Monterosso train station – and since it’s not located uphill, that’s a big plus when carrying luggage. It’s a family-run hotel with a charming retro vibe, overall very pleasant. Rooms are on the smaller side, but honestly, you don’t come to Cinque Terre to stay indoors. Bedsheets were clean, beds comfortable, and the A/C worked well. One of the highlights is the wide outdoor terrace, perfect for enjoying a drink from the hotel bar and relaxing late into the evening. They also provide beach towels and umbrellas, which is a thoughtful bonus. Special thanks to Maria (the owner) and Ricardo, who were both very kind and helpful. I asked for a room change, and they accommodated my request immediately, no questions asked. Monterosso al Mare is my favorite of all the Cinque Terre towns, because it is more lively and has proper beaches. I originally chose 5 Terre Hotel for its proximity to the beach and train station, but I would definitely return.

Your needs were always valued and prioritized. I felt extremely safe and taken care of. Also (not minor) the breakfast was always delicious and abundant.

The only issue was the shower was small.

Everything about this hotel was special. Maria was very welcoming and helpful. They were constantly cleaning the grounds and rooms. The bar was great and the breakfast spectacular! And don't forget the outside patio area with the parakeets chattering! What more can I say? We loved it!! Muchas gracias Maria!!

Internet in my room didn’t work. The signal was extremely weak.

Only critique would be the beds in my room with my daughter were a bit floppy and not very comfortable, but otherwise we had a great time. It is SO much closer to the beach than we thought it would be.

The family that owns and runs the hotel were lovely and you can tell they take pride in their establishment. The reviews about the breakfast and the family were why I booked this hotel and they exceeded the expectations.

A fridge would have been nice in the room. The breakfast lacked in variety but it was mostly compensated by the good location and the price.

Excellent location, the hotel is very close to the beach.

A kettle in room would be helpful.

Great location, nice customer service, lovely courtyard, and very retro feel to the place. The breakfast was good too. Also close to station.

- size of the room and bathroom (could be more spacious); - breakfasts (more accustomed to continental ones, with larger varieties of food/drinks).

- proximity to "Spiaggia del Gigante" (~5 minute walk); - general cleanliness and quietness of the hotel; - proximity to train station (~12 minute walk); - room cleaning staff.

I love the retro vibe of this hotel. It’s family run and they were so nice and accommodating when we had to shorten our stay at the last minute to avoid the train strikes. Location is great and less than 5 minutes from one of the public beaches.

Is not that I dont like, but the hotel is old and needs some sort of new things. The room doesn’t have a fridge, doesnt have a coffee maker or a water boiler. However you can ask at the bar down to store your items in their fridge, and also water 24/7. They are slowly slowly improving things. The most important is that there was a solution for everything. Bedsheets and bed mattresses are also a bit old. However they are in good condition but a renovation must be done here too.

Location is super close to the beach of the new part of Monterosso and to train station, in a calm area. Staff are amazing, they are all super friendly and always able yo help us. AC and Wifi works perfect. Breakfast was fair. Theres always room for improvement on food but it has all necessary things you need in the morning. (Eggs for me) which is hard to find in italian breakfast. The hotel area and facilities is nice, with and old italian style, super cozy and clean.

The A/C although working in the room was hard to get to the optimal desired temp otherwise the room was adequate for our needs.

The staff was very personable and made you feel very welcome. They have a very nice breakfast room with all types of coffee pastry, meats cereal and fruit put out every morning. The hotel is in a very nice area walking distance to anything in Monterosso. There are many dining options and the beach is the main attraction which is a very short walk.

Towels could have been softer, but thats a minor nitpick.

Great location and I loved that my room had a little terrace!

Not so varied breakfast. Bathroom and furniture is very much 80’ies. The blankets from 70’ies or 80’ies would be good to change to something fresher like light duvets. The cage for the canary birds need to be cleaned more often to be a positive experience for the guests.

Clean rooms. Nice staff in reception, bar and cleaning. Good location near the beach. Quiet area, nice garden. Smooth check in and check out.

Safe did not work, towel warmer was not turned on in May. Towel warmer is not only for towels, but also for drying bathing suits, etc and very good to have when rinsing hiking clothes. Some warm dishes at breakfast would be nice, more variation of cheeses.

Friendly staff, good location, nice breakfast. Loved the fresh fruit and pastries. The property was clean and comfortable.

The linen was ragged, should invest in new towels

Lovely location away from the crowds but in easy walking distance to everything. Great breakfast. Extremely clean.

Nothing unusual with this hotel - we struck the same issue most places we stayed We were on the road in Europe for 40 days living out of our suitcases hence we had a larger size suitcase each which there wasn’t enough space to open one at a time let alone both Any stacker type options available apart from getting a larger room ?

Hotel very central to all the activities - staff extremely helpful with information / advice / suggestions
