AC was turned off mid-afternoon and cooling did not come back on that night, for a hot room this was uncomfortable and 'nothing could be done'. Lower River view room had lots of traffic noise ( windows open to cool the hot room). Otherwise clean but care-work.

EL HOTEL TIENE UNA VISTA ESPECTACULAR HACIA EL RÍO NEGRO Y SU ENTORNO COMERCIAL SOBRE LA COSTANERA ES MUY BUENO.

VIAJE POR TRABAJO. ESTUVE EN CARMEN DE PATAGONES Y VIEDMA.

With few or no other options this is by far the best option in Viedma, and while not top grade is perfectly satisfactory and extraordinarily good value. While the rooms at the front have a pleasant river view they can be very noisy with all- night traffic noise, and a room at the rear is recommended

The location was perfect, the staff was very helpful and the room was large with a omfortable bed and pillow. Only complaint was the wifi was a little weak in our room and there was a quite a bit of road noise. But al things considered, I'd definitely stay there again."

The hotel was very noisy. The road noise was really bad especially as it was Friday and all the local kids were driving up and down revving their bikes and cars till about 3 am. Also they put a school party on ur floor and they were making a terrible noise until about 2 am. So we got very little sleep,

We felt that when we arrived that the reception was not very welcoming and whilst efficient at checking us in we did not feel that the reception staff were very pleasant.In addition despite being non smokers we were later asked to pay a fine of 700 pesos for smoking in the room. We explained that we had never smoked in our lives and felt that they did not believe us. We did not pay the fine.Also we bought tea and cakes in the snack bar and were overcharged for two very,very small pieces of cake Also there was no menu available so one needs to check prices beforehand. We felt that the snack bar was very poor value.

I needed a break from hostels and a sleepy town to relax in. Viedma and Hotel Austral fit the bill perfectly. After reading the reviews here I felt I was taking a chance, but the hotel seemed like the best bet. And while it's clear this property is past its prime, the staff where excellent and also constantly cleaning. The room itself was basic, but with a new and clean bread spread and duvet. The bathroom was equivalent to what you'd find at a Delta in North America. The lobby is styled as a grand sitting room complete with a piano player and comfy chairs. Unfortunately this was the only place I could get wifi. Wifi didn't reach my room. The location is in the very centre of Viedma situated directly on the river. A few good restaurants around the hotel and the river walk makes for a relaxing afternoon. Summary: If you're expecting a first class hotel you'll be disappointed. This is a comfortable mid range hotel. Just relax and enjoy the town.
