We just returned home from a week at the Hotel Porto Roca, celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary. We used the hotel as our home base to explore the towns of Cinque Terre and the surrounding region. The breakfasts were included and were delicious, with both hot and cold choices available. The dinners at the Ristorante La Terrazza del Porto Roca,... More

The hotel is on a cliff about 15 minutes walk from the train station. The city is pedestrian only, the hotel send a taxi to pick us up. The hotel is old and past its four stars glory days. Our room was a standard sea view and small. The decor is pathetic, yellow painted wall, old painting, furniture is ok.... More

We spent two nights in Monterosso al Mare at the Porto Roca hotel where we prepaid for a suite and Room 202 was lovely: large with a double fronting balcony overlooking the terrace and the sea, a king sized bed and a desk in the bedroom, a goodly sized sitting room with a couch, a table and four chairs and...

Disappointed. The view is wonderful but agree with previous reviews. The rooms were very basic. Don't have room 91. It is right next to reception and very noisy. Got woken both mornings at 6.00am by van pulling up outside our room and slamming doors. Get room as far away from main area as possible. Had 2 cold showers as no... More

Just checked into this dump, and if we were not so tired, and if the room charges were not non- refundable, we would have left this hole for anywhere else. The description by a previous guest was spot on: this is a motel 6 at best. For over 200 euros a night I might have expected at least a modicum... More

This is a warm and inviting property with the best views. Whilst the rooms are small and basic, most have generous balconies with excellent views. The larger rooms have much smaller balconies. The staff are all friendly, warm and helpful and do their best to make guests feel at home. The property has good wifi reception and authentic public areas.... More

I understand that four star hotels in Europe are very different than four star hotels in America. However, that being said, i can't say I was overly impressed with Porta Roca. Since the staff makes the first impression, I guess I will just start by saying they weren't rude, but they weren't very helpful either. Our hotel shuttle drivers (both... More

This was a very busy season for Cinque Terre and was probably a month late when booking. This was one of the few places left near the water. In the end it ended up being one of our favourite hotels on our trip. When you arrive via the train, a car will pick you up and take you to the... More

Superbly located on the Cinque Terre walking track with outstanding views of the Mediterranean and Monterosso from rooms and restaurant.Very helpful and friendly staff providing exemplary service and delicious local food. Highly recommended.
