RUN LIKE HELL!!!
This is the first time I'm writing a bad review. I called the owner 24 hours and then 8 hours prior to our arrival making sure that it will be okay to arrive around 7pm. He said that this will not be a problem. We showed up on time we arranged and the office was closed. After 30 minutes of calling, hang-ups and phone being passed on between a woman and him I was told of a hidden spot with a note with directions. My son and I tried to find it quickly but then went back to notify the rest of our party that this might take a while, found parking, etc. We spent the next 2 hours walking up and down stairs while carrying backpacks trying to figure out his poorly written directions, calling him back and finally asking tourists. When we found our room there was a couple already staying in our room ready to go to sleep at 10pm. We called the owner and he asked that we wait 20 minutes ...he showed up around 10:40 ...and by about 11 o'clock had cleaned up another room. HUGE MISREPRESENTATION from the pictures posted on Expedia! The room was barely big enough for a queen and a twin bed. But when he insisted on charging additional $40 (since my reservations accidentally showed only 3 people) even though we were not going to get another bed) we walked out on our reservations around 11:30pm and were still charged full 2 nights. I realize that this is a first-world problem, but it's your money and your vacation ...and what you see in the pretty pictures isn't at all what you'll be getting

A long exhaustive uphill walk to the room
There is a misrepresentation in the pictures of the hotel provided by Expedia. Firstly, the office where the reception is located is on the main street of Riomaggiore, which actually it is only the office. The rooms of the hotel are located at the furthermost and highest building at Riomaggiore, to get to the room you probably need to be a trained marathon runner, and don't even think of bringing anything with you (not even small backpacks), as it will take you about 15 minutes to reach the room. So, what we did is leave the room in the morning prepared to not return until late as making the climb in the sun could actually give you a hard attack! The room is adjacent to at least 3 other rooms which host at least 3 persons per room, sharing 2 bathrooms. In the morning the door opening and closing sounds where terrible. To top it up, when leaving, you have to pay cash (which we were warned about) but could not use a 500 bill, the staff asked us to go to change it in the bank! The bottom line, don't trust the nice pictures of the hotel on the web, and avoid this hotel at all if you can. There are many other "rooms" for rent like these one all over Riomaggiore at half the cost!

The property owners insist you pay in Euros- cash, no credit cards. I had to discuss this with them sternly and then he processed my Visa card. The only wifi is in the office down the block. They turn it off when they leave, supposedly at 4:30 check-in. No A/C, even if you are willing to pay the five extra Euros per night. I wouldn't stay there again.

Rude staff, only cash, no wifi in room.
The hotel was in a good location, but when we got there we found out we could only pay in cash and there was no wifi in the room. only the main office (far from the rooms) had wifi but just during opening hours which was the time we were at the beach, therefore we could never use it. the day we were leaving we wanted to leave our bags for an hour after check out to enjoy the beach before our train left. the staff was not helpful, they told us to put them in the bathroom and when we were about to leave she told us she was charging us per bag a ridiculous sum, with a horrible rude attitude when we asked about the price. of course we took our bags and left knowing we would never recommend this place to anyone.

Cinque terre are not meant to go with cars..
The room was ok although it was pretty high up after 300 stairs...As per hotels.com, we could have had an option for an Air cond. to rent.....not really available. We (family of five) were at the beginning of August so there was a lot of people, way too much. Could feel locals were a bit fed up with that many people. We came with our car to Riomaggiore as we did not find any parking spot at La Spezia. And life is difficult with a car as any spot is not for tourists. We finally found a parking spot 1,7 km away up the hill at the crossroad of the main road...Keep in mind that you will get a fine if you don't respect their unclear rules....They should think of restricting access to car with shuttle services to a mandatory remote parking up the hill to prevent this unfortunate tough situation. Reception was a bit hectic and we did not need to arrive before 16h30 (as per hotels.com mention ). So we rushed for no reason to get there before that time. Overall, we did like the spot, the landscape was outstanding. A bit of refresh exterior painting would be a good suggestion for the houses.

Great location but
The office is run down and dank. Not a great first impression. Make sure you get there before 8PM local time! Our room, really a flat with a bedroom, kitchen and bathroom, was run down. It was clean but beyond well worn. The furniture included some motley cast offs. The kitchen was equipped but barely. The frig was overdue for defrosting and we needed to put a chair against it to keep the door closed. The office and the rooms are not near one another. Wifi is only available at the office, sitting on a small uncomfortable patio, and only between 10AM and 8PM. The lack of wifi after 8PM and before 10AM was annoying. The hotel did provide (threadbare) beach towels that came in handy. You can swim off a dock in Cinque Terre but we took the boat to Monterosso where there is a free sandy beach. The location was great (***warning*** visitors must park in the blue lined spots at the upper part of the access road or floors 4, 5, or 6 of the garage). We had great food in Cinque Terre and enjoyed our two days there greatly. Don't expect to sleep in if your room faces the main road. Deliveries begin at 06:00 and there is a lot of noise. My sense is that most places in Riomaggiore (Cinque Terre) are not high end hotels and I was not expecting a Marriott, but overall, I was not impressed.

Nice stay at Riomaggiore
The room is clean and spacious as described. It is located at the top of the hill, with a balcony you may enjoy the view of the entire Riomaggiore. It could be tough if you carry a lot of luggage with you, but there is luggage storage service at the reception. Enjoying a wonderful seaview, the trade-off is there is no restaurants or bottle shops unless you down the hill. There is no WiFi coverage at the room, but only at the reception counter. Actually I don't really regard it a problem because you may relax and enjoy the beauty and peace of the village without distracted by internet. The staff is nice and helpful too. I'd recommend this room!

Clean room in the heart of Town
I had a private room with private bathroom. Everything was super clean and check in was a breeze. Other than that, there was nothing special about the room for the price. Definitely worth it for a couple but not for a solo traveler trying to recuperate. There are cheaper places for that.

Great Stay At The Top Of Riomaggiore
The gentleman that checked us in was very helpful and carried our bags along with some of the other people's up the many, many, many stairs. The view was amazing because you're almost at the top of Riomaggiore. However, that means the actual location where you check in, 25 Columbo, is basically at the bottom. We booked this thinking it would be closer to the train station and not so many steps. I enjoyed the hike and we're both young and in good shape, but beware if climbing up and down steep stairs is not your thing.

Cinque Terre a great place to visit
Riomaggiore is a great village to stay in. Take the boat trip as well as hike. If at the hostel (we got placed at a room closer to downtown), know it is hundreds of steps to the hostel. Owner and manager are great, friendly people.

Walked a long way to get to the room.
We stayed al long way from where it said on the map, but it was cool as it looked like it was someone's personal house. S we were living surrounded by locals. If you want to stay here, and want to be closer to the action I would suggest outlining this. Staff pleasant and friendly when they took us to our room.....approx 10 mins walk up hill to house. Close to the station however!
