Trip Bariloche Select

Service was supreme. The staff was very nice and welcoming, even on the check-out at 5 am, they gave us coffee and apologised that medialunas are not ready yet. Some of them spoke very good English. The beds were made every day, and trash was taken out (this is not happening even in star hotels, but here every day!). As for the Europeans, the breakfast choice was poor, but if you look at it the Argentinian way, everything is perfect. Also loved the option to use the communal fridge and kitchen. We used that quite a lot and were super satisfied. The location is also supreme, it takes you about 5 minutes to the central plaza and Chocolate Street, shops are close by, cafes, and everything.

The noise from the street was too loud at night. No sound isolation whatsoever. The room was a bit too hot; an AC would have been nice, but since it was raining and cold all the time, the warmer room was a welcome feeling. The wi-fi could have been better; it was spotty and sometimes not working properly. The remote you have to ask for at the reception, and ours was not quite working, but we used our own methods to switch channels, and the TV was only for background noise since we don't speak much Spanish. You could see the windows were old and some other stuff, but for the price and comfort, it was a minor problem. There should be hot water in the kitchen to wash the dishes more comfortably, but then again, you can heat it up on the stove the old way.

Cheap and cheerful, 24h front desk which made checking in after a midnight bus arrival extremely easy. It looks pretty, well-lit and modern from the street, which also made late-night checkin in a new city less hassle. The guy on reception at night spoke utterly flawless english and was very kind. Buses to the hiking regions go from around 2 blocks away and you can pay by contactless.

Our room was functional and cosy but rather dated, and breakfast was basic, so for us this was a good fit as a 1-night stopover before hiking nearby. We would probably upgrade if we were staying in Bariloche longer.

Good price for the place

A bit noisy at night because of traffic and after the nightlife stopped being on a busy intersection.

Location was good, near good restaurants.

Staff weren't particularly friendly. Breakfast was basic, at best. Room was very basic, not well finished.
