Hotel Porto Roca is absolutely beautiful. Rooms are brand new - super clean, modern, wonderful bathroom. Our room was a 2 room suite with a large balcony overlooking the sea - absolutely stunning views. Breakfast buffet was very nice with a large selections. Hotel offers transportation to and from main part of town - a very short walk but with luggage transportation is was very beneficial. Highly highly recommend this hotel .

We loved our stay at the Hotel Porto Roca!! They sent a complimentary taxi to get us from the train station. Showed us to our beautiful room with an amazing view from the balcony & brought us a bottle of champagne & 2 glasses to celebrate our anniversary! Even had slippers for us to wear. The restaurant has a fantastic view, food was excellent, breakfast spread HUGE! The only downside is walking up to the hotel…the climb is steep and very narrow. But doable and there’s a gate onto the hiking path to Vernazza which cuts off some extra steps. Overall, this hotel was worth every penny! We did not swim in the pool but it is lovely & quiet!

Cinque Terre Delight
Spectacular location, wonderful staff, large suite, enjoyed the jacuzzi, the view of the sea, boats and trains. The beds could use different mattresses, they are very hard. Very much appreciated the taxi service to/from the hotel.

We rented three jr suites. One on the top floor was updated and really lovely. The two others were outdated and not so fresh. The grounds are magnificent, be prepared to do some incline walking. Great restaurant options in town and easy access to the ferry. Hotel breakfasts were plentiful and delish. Staff was helpful and lovely.

Overall very pleased with room for improvement
This hotel is absolutely beautiful and a well planned end cap to our Italian vacation. The breakfast was delicious! The best I had during my multi-week stay in Italy! The views are spectacular! The beds were comfortable enough. The room was clean and I was pleased overall. There were a couple of items I could see improvement on. 1. Communicate better with your reservations. You were not yet open for the season, but I only found this out when I tried to call the day before my arrival to Terry to find out how to get to your hotel. Travel to another country is difficult enough, so not having staff available to answer questions when guests call makes it more difficult. 2. Booking through hotels.com is great marketing for you. I would never known your hotel existed has it not been for hotels.com. So to learn that you give direct booking customers preferential treatment is ridiculous. 3. The refrigerator in the room was not operational and everything in it got very warm. You should test these 1 week before reopening for the season. 4. When a guest asks for coffee when they’re paying the amount of money this hotel costs per night, the answer should always be yes, right away! Not wait 10 minutes and get it when the dining room opens. 5. We’re doing several ants in our room right before we checked out, and the balcony area inside the room. You should have a pest abatement program during closed season.

The views from this location are the best in Monterosso. The walk up to the property is not for the faint of heart but well worth the different views! One day we went to the beach and sat in the hotels chairs, and one day we went to the pool with gorgeous cliff side views!

We enjoyed a wonderful relaxing stay . The hotel is situated above the beach and town , so the sea, restaurants and shops are close by, but up a hill. The breakfast was delicious and served in a delightful area with great views. The pool was wonderful with amazing views. The staff were very helpful and friendly. We look forward to a return trip.

You must stay here!
After spending a bit of time in the town, I wouldn't recommend staying anywhere else. Here are the many reasons - view was amazing - breakfast was great with a good variety of options to choose from - the bar offered an array of drinks at his prices - it includes a ride to and from the train station - there's a button at the bottom of their scenic hill you press and they'll come down to pick you up - it was too cold for the pool, but it looked great for warmer weather - the hotel is at the beginning of the trail, so if you leave from the hotel you skip the first of MANY hills Only issue is that the beds were hard as a rock of them seem to be in Italy.

European charm with all modern amenities. Decor might seem outdated but our room had all modern amenities, remodeled bathroom, fridge and coffee maker. Only thing was that if you are picky with your hairdryer bring your own, the one they provide is good but not strong enough!

The location is one of a kind. The rooms are clean and the staff was friendly. I would definitely stay there again. There isn’t a room there that doesn’t have a magical view. I’d say the only downside was the mattress. Not comfortable at all. Other than that it was wonderful

High on a hilltop- Hotel Porto Rica
The hotel is the farthest hotel away from the train station. But, the hotel supplies taxi service to their doorstep! Easy check in. But, beware of the size of your room. We had reserved a room with a double bed, and the size of the room was the smallest at the hotel. Even the front desk clerk and housekeeper made an astonishing remark of its size. The hotel is beautiful with breathtaking views of Monterosso. The breakfast and dinners are first class! The meal service was very impressive!

We loved the entire feel of the hotel. It is on a cliff just outside of town. Complimentary taxi from the train station. Great pool, pizza, large sun balcony with our room. It is on the hiking trail. Complimentary beach area if you walk down to town. The restaurant overlooking town. Rooms are small have great air conditioning and views. We absolutely loved the staff - Ruth, Manny, Nico, Simone and many others!

Excellent hotel, excellent position, good staff. Average food served very well. Better (and cheaper) food in the village. Booked through Expedia at €400 per night but charged €440. Prior confirmed Expedia cost disregarded. No doubt the best place to stay in Montorosso, and perhaps the Cinque Terre, but perhaps booked through another agency.

The hotel was located high on a hill. The view was beautiful, but the long climb to the hotel was a bit difficult. The room was very small, which was a disappointment, especially because it was extremely expensive! No AC. Restaurant at the hotel had limited selections and the food was only fair. Also expensive.

We really liked this hotel property and location. The facilities were so clean and well kept. The staff were wonderful, pleasant, helpful and professional. Our room rate included full continental breakfast. Our room was very clean but so small. There was no space to stow away our two medium size suitcases and two small tots. If you're looking for a romantically beautiful hotel property with breathtaking sea view and charming seaside village, you can't go wrong with Hotel Porto Roca. We took so many beautiful photos and posted on our Facebook pages. For sure, this place will bring you great smiles and lasting memories.

It s location is obviously high and therefore quieter for that with super views - it was not explained to me about having a taxi only once to station but there was a shuttle into the centre of town. Breakfasts on the terrace start the day beautifully and the pool location with scented jasmine was a delight. There where little things like No body lotions in the rooms which I found odd for a 4 star hotel.
