THE BEST HOTEL in my 30+ years of intensive international travel. I seldom write reviews and this hotel deserves much more stars and attention, a superb helpful and passionate team, genuine hospitality, quality, service, food, management from A to Z: even saving me with a hazardous Ligurian driving - not for flat land drivers! We had amazing holiday in all senses, which we extended for a week, and will definitely come back, bring friends, family and events to this hidden in the mountains true pearl. Molto grazie to the entire team, which made us missing your place. We are your guests for a life time! 🙌❤️🇮🇹✨

Difficult driving, GPS is not hanging with 180 degrees turns. I suggest a pick up service and parking service which is also not easy if you are not Italian. Yet, stuff is very helpful and friendly and they helped me numerous times to drive my rented car where I couldn’t handle it. Next time, I will book driving lessons!

The property has an insanely beautiful view! Is super close to the town, literally a 5 minute walk downtown to all of the food shops. It has a lovely pool, a computer to print when necessary, and the staff was decent as well.

The sofa bed was incredibly uncomfortable. I booked with my father so we had separate beds and the sofa bed felt like sleeping on bars. Extremely uncomfortable and deeply affected my sleep while there.

The hotel is quite nice and in a quiet location with a nice enough indoor pool which we didn't use. The room was OK and the breakfast was good and fresh. The staff were helpful and friendly.

Access to the hotel is difficult. You have to enter via a one way tunnel system which gives a green light for 2 minutes 3 times per hour. It was very difficult to find by car and by foot it is up a long steep and narrow path. Quite a climb back up from the town. It was the most expensive place we stayed on our holiday out of 10 places and charged 10 euros/night for parking which was an unpleasant surprise.

The name of the hotel is tricky, and confused us: Here in the city there is two different, a Hotel Mondial and Hotel Residence. But we found on Booking on name "Hotel Residence Mondial". We would like to book in H. Residence, but finally we got the address of H Mondial. That was a little far on the Hill, but was beautiful. It would be necessary to correct the name of the hotel!!!

The hotel was an excellent base for exploring the Cinque Terre, just a short walk down steps to the station - or into the centre of Moneglia. We had one of the 'studio' rooms which had a fabulous, private, split level patio with a lovely sea view. Wide choice of things for breakfast, though we weren't staying on a B&B basis, so mostly self catered from our kitchenette.

Coffee provided at breakfast was a bit disappointing.

The pool was fun to have for our kids, and the location out of the fray of the Cinque Terre but with a similar vibe was just perfect for us. Staff was also always lovely and super helpful. Beaches nearby were great, especially in the early evening.

It’s a little isolated at the top of the hill where you have to hike to the cute town or beach or train station…but that was also part of the appeal. Really not much to say that we didn’t like

Great facilities, the indoor pool was a welcome place to relax after a long journey. Rooms well appointed and staff very friendly. large garage at the rear of hotel great for parking our motorcycles in.

It’s a bit of a challenge to find the way to the indoor pool. signs point along a corridor but then disappear. needed to get the correct lift to the pool level. It’s a 10 minute walk down several flights of stairs to the main resort facilities and beach.

Great hotel, great staff, great breakfast. I was pleasantly surprised. What a great stay I had and how pretty and calm Moneglia is! The beach is 5 min away and the pool is great. The views are also stunning. For newcomers, I would only suggest a pick up service that can be arranged with the reception. The hotel is up the hill, which provide lovely sights but it can be hard with luggage. Staying there is definitely worth it and I can’t wait to be back there.

What is there NOT to like? The prime location offers so much nature, beautiful and breathtaking views. The staff made sure they contacted us before our arrival and literally waited for us at the door, great service. Our room was upgraded as we arrived and had the best view to the ocean.

That we couldn't stay longer!

Very comfortable fully contained small room with balcony overlooking pleasant rural hillside. Spotless bedroom, linen and bathroom. Generous breakfast. Welcoming internal email providing directions for guests arriving by car - though I was arriving by train.

Without being provided with further information on the best way to reach the hotel from Moneglia railway station (which I did request by internal email) it appears that if coming on foot, you must walk up around 200 steep rough steps (with your bag) to reach the hotel. So when arriving at Moneglia station, head downwards, walk about 60 metres on the right side footpath, and watch out for a recessed sign saying to the Mondial hotel. Turn right at the sign, and start the upwards walk. Keep watching for further sign. It was worth the walk, as lovely views when you reach hotel at the top, but not very practical.
