Albergo Degli Amici

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!!

A lovely place to stay! Very central for the old town but close to the railway station. Breakfast was excellent with fresh fruit, home made pastries and cappuccino made to order. Fabulous views of the town and the Med from the 4 tier terraced gardens which have ample sunbeds and tables and chairs. Would love to stay again!

We stayed here for 4nights at the end of May 2024. The hotel is in a great location, just a few steps to the bars and restaurants of Monterosso, but on a side street out of the hustle and bustle. A pretty easy stroll from the train station with no hills/steps to climb. The staff were all incredibly friendly and helpful. The room was exactly as described, pretty basic, but very clean with everything you need. The air conditioning worked extremely well, and we paid for the upgrade to have a balcony which was a nice extra touch. I liked that the hotel toiletries were eco friendly, as wash bars rather than lots of plastic bottles, other hotels could learn from this! The breakfast was good, with lots of choice and a gluten free basket of bread/pastries for those that need it (just ask a member of staff). We were initially looking at booking an airbnb, but the prices were comparable to Hotel Amici which also included breakfast and probably the best thing about the hotel which was the terrace roof top garden. It was beautiful, incredibly well kept, full of lemon trees and jasmine and looked out over monterosso. Such a great place to relax and always quiet. The only downside to the hotel was the room was noisy. We could hear next door talking late at night and people talking outside the hotel (which to be fair is very few) and doors slamming. Everything is tiled, so obviously noise is amplified. But this was a small complaint and wouldn’t stop us from staying here again. Overall and really lovely little hotel, in a fantastic town. We had a wonderful holiday here.
