The hotel is charming. The staff was over the top helpful with several things, really spending time with me as I figured out the train pass and also a dinner and taxi reservation. We were welcomed with really cold lemonade and a pastry while our check in was processing. Then, we had wine delivered to the room. Staff was amazing. The beds were typical Italian, I think, meaning a little firm and not so luxurious as American hotels can be. But, we would definitely stay there again and recommend it to others.

The bed and bedding could have been higher quality.

The owners kept in contact via email. As we were arriving late via train, they provided the platform/bin for our connection to ensure we would make our connection in La Spezia. They opened the door upon arrival and quickly showed us to our room. The room was amazing and included it’s own private terrace! The following morning, we enjoyed a plentiful and sumptuous breakfast before the front desk staff assisted us with discount Cinque Terre train/hiking passes.

Nothing

Hotel La Colonnina exceeded our expectations. It was located in a quiet street within the Old Town of Monterosso. We were greeted with a cool lemon drink and a piece of lemon cake on our arrival and sat peacefully in the sweet garden. Our room was gorgeous, quiet and cool. Breakfast amazing, staff so very helpful and location perfect. The train was close by, restaurants fabulous, beaches glorious and walking tracks amazing. ❤️❤️ A hidden gem.

I liked the hotel staff and owner. Location was also very convenient.

Room was very damp even with heater on, toilet seat was broken, pillows were flat and hard some fluff or additional pillows would be a good hotel standard, and customers would be more comfortable. A bottle of water would also be welcome per room. Bed was also hard and felt always damp. Don’t get me wrong it’s a great hotel, Monterosso according to me is the best city of the Cinque Terre region.

Fantastic hotel, location and service. Staff were professional, friendly and accommodating; they went above and beyond. Location was central, though a bit hard to find at first. Breakfast was such a treat. Rooftop and reception terraces were lovely.

The doors don’t have a soft-close feature so we heard lots of slamming. When trying to find the hotel, use Google Maps (not Apple Maps app, those directions don’t work), and look for the sandwich board near the kid’s park. We got lost but those things helped.

Angelina was so welcoming and went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable. We received fresh squeezed lemonade and appl tart on arrival while she processed our registration. She called and made a reservation for us at 28 Posti Monterossa and then walked us there so we would have no trouble finding it. Loved having some red wine and snacks on the rooftop terrace at the end of the day. Finally, the breakfast was excellent with a larger variety of itmes.

They key was a little heavy to carry around.

The hotel is located in the heart of Monterosso, close to everything, you will feel a touch of the past, but in a very pleasant way, very friendly and helpful staff will help you with parking, tickets for the national park, hiking pats and the train and offer you a sweet welcome. The location is excellent, the place is beautiful. Breakfast typical for 3 star hotels but enough. Recommended when visiting Cinqe terre.

Can't remember.

Great location only 2 minutes walk from piazza Garibaldi... and only 5 mins walk to any of the beaches. Very friendly staff. Hotel spotless. Breakfast really good with lots of homemade and local produce. Short walk to train station or hotel has access to parking nearby. Offered GF options for breakfast.. highly recommend this hotel...

N.a.

The room was very big, the balcony was great with comfy furniture, the bathroom was clean and the shower was big. The staff was very welcoming and kind and helpful in case of questions. Also super nice to get the Cinuqe Terre Card at a discount.

The breakfast was good, but compared to other breakfast buffets it lacked a bit in variety and quality - but this seems to be a common thing in italy. Still we enjoyed it well enough. One other italien thing is not having a proper blanket on the bed but just some sheets and multiple layers of blankets - this is really annoying, but again not the hotels fault but common in italy.

Outstanding location in a quiet street, a stone's throw from Piazza Garibaldi. 10 minute walk to the Train station and even closer to the beach. Defnitely check out the beautiful views from the terrace. Loved the room balcony as well. Impecabbly maintained property. Just the little green space a the reception is just so serene. The staff is just outstanding. They are super-friendly and proactively try to anticipate guest needs & help. Decent breakfast.
