This hotel is located at the lake shore, has very good views of the lake and the mountains. It is very clean. The best of it is that the staff are very friendly and nice. I couldn’t find my passport in my room and I had to take my excursion to the Perito Monera Glacier. I told the staff if anyone found my passport and gave it to them. They said no. But they also helped me calling the restaurant that I had my dinner last night but the restaurant didn’t open until noon. They told me if they found it they would let me know immediately. So I took my trip with a heavy heart. At 11am I received a message from the hotel saying that the cleaning lady found my passport and some money in my room while she was cleaning my room. I was very excited and happy to know that my passport was recovered as I was planning to travel to Buenos Aires to visit USA embassy to get a new one. In addition they also asked if I would come back to hotel to retrieve my passport, if not they would send someone to deliver my passport and money along with my luggages that I left with them to a meeting place. That was very kind offer and touched my heart. At the end I came back to the hotel and get my belongings back. I am very grateful for their service and kindness. I would definitely recommend travelers to stay in this hotel.

The folks who checked us in were great throughout our stay. The room was fine. Not great but okay. When we checked out I noticed they overcharged for dinner. At dinner I pointed it out that we were charged for beers both at the bar and at the table but only ordered wine at the table. The front desk decided they didn’t want to fix this. It doesn’t make sense to stay here. Other people in our party also had problems with their bill. I don’t know of they are unethical or just tired of communicating with tourists.

Avoid at all cost- we stayed here for 3 nights and it was the biggest regret of this trip. Only the views are nice about this hotel. I don’t mind that it’s 3km from the town centre because Lago Argentino is beautiful. Everything else was an extortion 1. Iron- they don’t provide it, I was told I have to pay extra for laundry that would include ironing. 2. Hair dryer was broken on our first day. 3. They put is in room 101 which is on another side of the hotel- you have to walk out for 1 minute in the cold and wind. The key card wasn’t working my friend has to walk back outside into the reception and get it. 4. To eat breakfast you have to do the same- go out of the and walk in the cold and wind, such a hassle- I wouldn’t even call the breakfast basic, options weren’t any good, if you want eggs you have to pay extra 5. We asked for a different room for the day after when we spent a night in El Chalten, to be placed at the main hotel- there were triple rooms available online but we were told we have to change our booking online and pay- this I don’t understand for it was for another triple rooms and not an upgrade. In the end we stayed in the same room, 101. 6. It was pretty cold in the room and when we turned the heater on, it leaked with so much water the poor receptionist have to troubleshoot it and become an engineer for that night The experience has been so horrible, the worst hotel we’ve had in Chile and Argentina!! Would never book here again if if it’s the only hotel i

je déconseille

Je dĂ©conseille cet Ă©tablissement. La propretĂ© laisse Ă  dĂ©sirer. Nous avons retrouvĂ© des cheveux sur les deux oreillers. Puis, nous avons constatĂ© une fuite au niveau du radiateur. Enfin, le mĂ©nage n'avait pas Ă©tĂ© fait: de la poussiĂšre partout. Quand nous nous sommes rendus Ă  la rĂ©ception pour demander une autre chambre ou bien que le mĂ©nage soit fait, la rĂ©ceptionniste s'est montrĂ©e trĂšs peu coopĂ©rative. Elle nous a proposĂ© une autre chambre modĂ©rant un coĂ»t supplĂ©mentaire. Chose que nous avons refusĂ© bien entendu. Bien conscients que le prix de la nuitĂ©e est compĂ©titif face aux Ă©tablissements aux alentours, le minimum doit ĂȘtre fait. C'est-Ă -dire le mĂ©nage et des draps propres!

The view of my unit was over looking the laguna Argentino, which was a great view. Besides of the view, it didn't offer anything. I was disappointed with dining, the restaurant was closed and the breakfast had very little options. If you want have eggs, bacon or sausage, you have to pay for it. The free breakfast stuffs were bread, ham, cheese, slice fruits, and coffee. I don't it's worth of money.
