Albergo Degli Amici

“Very Pleasant”

View from room and terraces is amazing! Room was very clean and spacious. Staff is very friendly and breakfast was delicious and plentiful!

We're usually the type to book an Airbnb (sorry!), but found this hotel to be very reasonably priced given breakfast was also included and so glad we booked! We stayed in a balcony room which was impeccably clean (thank-you house keeping!) and had all the amenities you could need and more. Cute little balcony and a large terraced garden where we enjoyed a bottle of local red wine on our final night. The receptionists were incredibly helpful and friendly. Before our stay, they made excellent pesto making class recommendations (we emailed ahead); we were allowed an early check-in as our room was ready; they gave very helpful information about travel options and discounts; and offered to store our luggage on our last day after check-out. The front of house staff were also very friendly and attentive. The breakfast was perfect fuel for long hikes! Fresh fruit, pastries, granola, yoghurts, crispy bacon, scrambled eggs, sliced ham and cheese. You name it! I don't know when we'll be back again, but would highly recommend!!

“No-frills, comfortable stay”

Overall nice stay at Hotel degli Amici. The room was clean, however we found the beds to be slightly uncomfortable and there was a lot of noise from adjacent rooms.

Overall nice stay at Hotel degli Amici. The room was clean, however we found the beds to be slightly uncomfortable and there was a lot of noise from adjacent rooms. There was a rooftop terrace with good views of Monterosso al Mare. Breakfast was good and included pastries, eggs, bacon and fruit. The front desk staff was not super friendly, we asked to store our luggage for the day on our last day and were told to put it underneath the staircase in the lobby which did not feel super secure especially given that the hotel advertised luggage storage. Important to note that you get a discount for the Cinque Terre card (€3 for one day instead of €7.50) if you buy from the hotel. This was a pretty no-frills hotel, but overall a good experience.

We stayed here for a night in July as part of a long weekend in Tuscany. We had previously been staying in Lucca, and after a train journey with a short stopover in Via Reggio we arrived into Monterosso in the late afternoon. The hotel had sent us instructions on how to get to them from the station, and these proved invaluable as they are located down a narrow alleyway and would be tricky to find otherwise. We checked in and went up to our room which we liked- it had a traditional Italian feel to it, was a good size and had a view on to an inner courtyard. There was a good-sized bathroom and ample clothes storage space. We had read before our arrival that there was a guest terrace at the top of the hotel, so not long after we arrived decided to check it out. We were very impressed- it is on multiple levels and offers great views over Monterosso and the coastline. There are also sun loungers and a large number of lemon trees giving it a very Mediterranean feel. The hotel is very well located for the main attractions of Monterosso, including the beach and a wide range of shops, bars and restaurants. The ferry port is also a short walk away, and this enables quick trips to the other villages in the Cinque Terre if you don’t want to take the train (driving here is tricky as there aren’t many parking spaces). For its size the hotel has a pretty large restaurant, and whilst we had dinner out the night before we did have breakfast here. We were pretty much the only people in there when we ate, and it did make for a rather empty feel. However we were impressed with the choice and quality on offer and the staff on duty were very friendly. This was a pleasant place to stay during our trip to the Cinque Terre and would be happy to stay here again.
