Breakfast
Despite the many praises, some guests felt the breakfast could be improved in terms of quantity and variety, mentioning that the portions were small and selections limited at times. The concept of the breakfast being served rather than self-service was pointed out multiple times with mixed reactions; some appreciated the waste reduction, while others preferred a self-service setup to avoid queues and provide more choices.
Overall, the breakfast experience is seen as a good value with high-quality and fresh ingredients, making it a positive aspect of staying at Hotel Villa Argentina, despite a few areas where improvements could enhance the guest experience further.
Rooms
However, the rooms generally trend towards being small, dark and somewhat outdated. A lack of natural light is a common theme with many rooms facing walls or other buildings, resulting in limited daylight. Noise can be an issue due to thin walls with some guests reporting disturbances from other occupants and external noise sources. The décor and furnishings often feel dated or basic and some rooms lack the modern amenities expected at this price point.
Practical drawbacks include a lack of elevators, making access difficult, especially for rooms higher up. Bathrooms tend to be cramped and could benefit from modernisation and improved maintenance. Despite these issues, the overall cleanliness and essential amenities like clean linens, functional air conditioning and mini fridges are consistent positives. The hotel's prime location and the picturesque views are key redeeming qualities that may appeal to travelers who prioritize scenic beauty over luxury.
Beds
Additional feedback highlighted that extra beds and bunk beds were particularly uncomfortable with specific mention of single mattresses separating during the night. A few guests also noted practical issues like beds sliding into the room and inadequate bed sizes. Despite the varying experiences, the overall consensus leans towards the presence of comfortable beds for most guests, but with several areas that require improvement to ensure a consistently pleasant stay.
Cleanliness
However, some reviewers noted issues with specific areas. Comments have been made about outdated furniture and musty smells in certain parts of the hotel. There have also been isolated remarks about mold, ants and some sticky surfaces. Despite these, the general consensus leans positively towards the hotel's cleanliness, supported by the hotel's organized and accessible structure, as well as the courteous and available staff who contribute to maintaining high cleanliness standards.
Overall, Hotel Villa Argentina seems to provide a generally clean environment for guests, though it may benefit from addressing the noted issues to ensure a uniformly excellent experience.

Parking spaces are available but can be quite cramped, making maneuvering large vehicles difficult. While some guests appreciated the easily accessible underground garage, others found the parking situation disorganized and the spaces narrow, which detracted from the overall experience.
Parking reservations are possible and often necessary to ensure availability. For those unwilling or unable to pay the hotel’s rates, there are nearby parking areas and garages managed by the municipality, although these come with their own set of challenges and fees.
