The hotel was clean and efficient. We had a room 200 metres away from the hotel. The breakfast was not self service, but ok.
The main problem was the location, which was at the end of the town and quite high up (there was a lift nearby). There were no bars or restaurants nearby, so a walk was necessary.
Hotel Argentina is the best! We had a beautiful room with a balcony overlooking Riomaggiore and view of the Gulf of Genoa. The lovely hostess made homemade breakfast bread which was delicious! I left my raincoat and hoodie in their lobby on the last day of our visit and the staff found my clothing and mailed back to me! I was impressed with the friendliness and professionalism of the hotel staff and owners. The room was clean, beds were comfortable and strong shower in the renovated bathroom. We were glad that the nearby elevator near the church was working so the climb back and forth town was doable. The rates are reasonable and this hotel is in a great location for the money.
My husband and I visited Cinque Terra in June. We stayed at the Hotel Villa Argentina. It is located on the top of the town of Riomaggiore. Our room was small but very functional and clean. The view from our balcony made the climb up through the town and the four flights of stairs to get to our room totally worth it.
Antonio and Alessandra are the lovely couple that run the hotel. Breakfast every morning was fantastic. Pastries, home made jams, meats, cheeses, and exceptional coffee. All the staff was incredibly friendly.
We also enjoyed visiting the other villages that make up Cinque Terra. The train was easy to take from one place to the next.
We loved our stay.

I was there with my mom. A bit disappointed by the room (but it's everywhere like this...) and a lot by the breakfast, it's not continental...
Very high in the city, the place is nice, and please Riomaggiore is awesome!
Receptionist who wears glasses too arrogant. after 6 hours of travel she treated me very badly because I said I didn't have a sign indicating the hotel.
the sign hidden behind an overgrown wall. reception closes 8 PM.
the rooms you can hear people screaming and bed walking. remembering that the reception is closed at 8PM. who to complain to?
poor coffee, cake and iced fruit, bread of just one kind. hot orange juice
car space 25 euros, car on the street with no private area and no sign saying it belongs to the hotel. we arrived one day and the place was occupied. who to complain ???? reception closes at 8 PM
place so depressing that I didn't even take a picture
