Hotel Margherita

This hotel was comfortable and modern amidst the old town. Upon entering the premises, we see chic modern outdoor seating, the lobby area has leather chairs with a full bar beside it and the breakfast room is large, clean and pretty chic. Our room was a bit small but it was modern. The bathroom was definitely very up-​to-​date and chic with dark gray tiling. Our room had a large deck which we could sit outside on the lawn chairs and people watch. It was really fun and relaxing. Best of all, the hotel offers laundry services on its premises so we were able to drop off our laundry (we’d been in Italy for a week by this time) and they washed and dried our clothes in a few hours by the time we returned back to our room in the evening. This is a great hotel and we enjoyed our stay.

This place is completely amazing. Marco, the manager, took wonderful care of us. They helped us with recommendations for local restaurants, places to go and provided service above and beyond. We had a two story room with a balcony, beautiful setting and a well run establishment. We actually opted to stay another day because of the service we received. We are seasoned travelers and rarely find service like this.

Booked online. Price was good, staff was nice, smallest room we’ve had in Italy but largest breakfast selection. Room is for sleeping so who cares if it is small. I was worried about the hill but it isn’t bad. I wonder how out of shape the people are that complain because we saw complaints about the walk from the train and had a hard time deciding. You can do it! Great town!

After a bad experience with a room booked through Airbnb, we found ourselves scrambling to find a last minute hotel. The front desk staff at Hotel Margherita were really nice and helpful in booking a room for us. We ended up in a really nice two story Junior Suite. The rooms were clean, modern and had a large balcony that overlooked the town. We would get wonderful aromas of bakeries and restaurants located below. They also had a daily complimentary breakfast which included a variety a pastries, fruit, eggs for hard boiling, variety of juices and coffee. I really enjoyed my daily morning chocolate torte. :-) Wi-​Fi was also complimentary.
The hotel was recently renovated since the flooding in the area in late 2011. I love the cream colored leather couches they have in their lobby. And they have a hotel bar which was nice to have available after a long day at the beach or hiking in the area. I reminisce about sitting in their perfectly air conditioned lobby with a cool drink.
Hotel Margherita is also perfectly located in the middle of the town of Monterosso. It was fun to wake up, sit in the balcony and watch the locals opening their shops, cafes opening for the morning, fishermen going to the water, and tourists being tourists. We had various great restaurants right below our hotel and it was a short stroll down the hill to the beach.

Ich war mit einer Freundin im April 2010 dort. Nicht nur das Hotel, die gesamte Gegend ist einfach wunderbar. Aber das würde hier zu weit führen… Ich weiss allerdings nicht, wie es im Moment in Monterosso aussieht, da im Frühjahr 2011 riesige Wassermassen den halben Strand weggerissen und den Ort wohl ziemlich verändert haben.
Das Hotel hat uns sehr gut gefallen, es liegt zentral im Ort, ist preiswert und hübsch eingerichtet.
Wer mal einen ganz aussergewöhnlichen Urlaub machen möchte, sollte unbedingt eins der fünf Dörfer im «Cinque Terre» in Ligurien besuchen. Es lohnt sich!

The hotel was great. The location is a little out of the way — up the hill from the water, but worth the walk. The hotel is very modern and minimalist in its design, but clean and bright. The price was very good for the time we visited (late August). The breakfast is quite the spread with all kinds of things to choose from. We had a corner room on the second floor and noticed a pleasant smell — like a garden — we opened the windows/​shutters to see a huge garden behind the hotel filled with tomato and basil plants — a nice surprise! The staff wasn’t the most friendly — but everything was always as it should be. Depending on cost, I might try to get a hotel closer to the water or with an ocean view if I went again.
