Lovely hotel in central Bariloche

Central hotel on a central street close to everything and about 20mins from the airport. Room and bathroom are very spacious and clean. Hotel offers limited food in the restaurant and for room service - very friendly and helpful staff. Helped me book tours and the tour company is a few doors down.

Excellent Hotel with Large Rooms

I liked the big rooms with large bathrooms at this hotel. Good location in downtown area with easy walking to restaurants. Minor issue was the rooms didn't have individual controls for the room temperature.

I really like the room and the breakfast and the lady that clean our room was very kind. I did not like the customer service provided at the reception the worst! when we arrived we asked if they have parking because last time we were there they did have it, they told us we had to leave the car at a public parking $25 per day charge, of course this was not good so the receptionist only told us if we did not like it he could cancel our reservation he was very rude and not emphatic at all

Don’t stay here

Awful! Extremely poor internet, lumpy beds, run down, old old equipment in gym. The only positive thing about this hotel is that the breakfast was good. Lots of street noise and and horrible views. Very overpriced for this place .
