Independent in Monterosso al Mare from NZ$179

"The lady that checked us in was so helpful and nice. They held our luggage while we waited for the check in time and strolled around and had beach towels available. Also, if you’re coming here don’t miss out on including the breakfast! So many options and everything was incredible."

"Close to the train station."

"L’hébergement est parfait! Situé en montagne, il apporte quiétude et une vue sublime sur la mer et le petit village. La randonnée menant au village est un peu exigeante par grande chaleur, mais réellement fantastique. Le personnel de cet hébergement est vraiment courtois, sympathique et a l’écoute de nos besoins. Le déjeuner offert le matin est vraiment délicieux et varié. Nous avons fait le sentier Azzuro en entier à partir de notre hébergement, en débutant de Vernazza à Riomaggiore, puis en prenant le train jusqu’à Monterosso et en poursuivant la randonnée jusqu’au retour à l’hébergement. Je recommande à 100%"

"Nice hotel! Wonderful location right off beach. Walkable to many restaurants. Breakfast buffet was wonderful with good options. Room was clean and average for European standards. Nice sitting area outside for meals and drinks. Air conditioning was a big plus since it was very hot and humid while we were there "

"Wonderful reasonably priced hotel in the Cinque Terre region. Great directions provided to get to the hotel from the train station, but keep in mind that the 400 m distance also include a 100 m gain in elevation. If they are operating there are two elevators that can be used to lessen the climb. However, one was being reconstructed during our stay and the other one was out of service at times, so don't count on them. Our room was in the annex building, which is a bit way from the main hotel, and it came with a private outside seating area, which was terrific after a day of exploration. The breakfast served is terrific and not to be missed. "

"We booked this last minute, for access to the cinqueterre area. This old world port was our favorite part of the trip. "

"Emma was amazing & made our stay very welcoming. She gave great recommendations for sight-seeing & good places to eat. Grazie!"

"Had a peaceful stay at this spot! As a solo traveler heading to cinque terre this was a lovely place for a stopover. Grocery store was right down the street and the place was safe and clean! Exceeded my expectations! "

"To our complete surprise, Hotel Poet may go down as the best accommodations we have experienced in Italy to date. You are greated by friendly multi-lingual staff in a climate controlled, modern hotel, that is extremely easy to walk too from La Spezia's train station ( 500m ) Once we got to our room, we quickly realized the pictures were accurate, if not underserving the property as it looked and felt fantastic. Each room has a digital control for the A/C, which we set to 19*C as it was 35+ everyday we stayed, and found it to be the best night sleep we've both had in months. Windows have black out curtains, normal curtains, and shades offering you a truly relaxed and comfortable environment to relax in when trying to avoid the heat. Breakfast is a definite must add as well, not only did it make the process that much easier, it's also fantastic. Large assortment of options for almost any level of pickiness ( I am quite picky myself ). Wifi was strong, not sure what previous comments suggesting otherwise we're talking about, at least from our experience. Showers have rain drop heads, and lots of space, which feels rare in the otherwise cramped style most of Italy conforms too. Our only suggestion would be to add conditioner, as shampoo and body wash just aren't enough in this heat. Couldn't be happier with our stay! "
