very nice and helpful host, very nice place, and enjoyable stay!

Breakfast very good! Excellent!!

The breakfast room is why you must stay here. It is a phenomenal view and was the highlight of the stay. On a clear day, you can see for miles - so while you're waking up, drinking your coffee, you can see the beautiful lake of Bariloche and have a few European pastries. A word of note, the staff will be frosty if you don't know a little Spanish - this makes sense, it's their country, and I'm guessing they must deal with a lot of Anglophone tourists who don't bother to learn a passable amount. I found this challenging while attempting to navigate their breakfast service. The way it worked during my stay (in February 2023) was that a staff member was behind a glass barrier, and would serve you the breakfast. You had to individually ask for each thing (ie, a peach, etc). Most places we stayed had slightly different services so this was confusing my first day there. The rooms are budget-style and the bathrooms are older. The hot water is VERY VERY hot - be careful! But I'd prefer that to it beind cold.

The rooms have a smell of mould/damp. This is common in ski areas due to the amount of condensation during the winter. We were there during the Summer. This is a hotel that has seen better days, but it has an old world charm. The receptionist will come up with you in the lift your first time due to the very old nature of the lift. It lurches and feels a little unsafe.

The room temperature was extremely high

Booking said room would have kale or mountain view, this was barely visible. No air con or fan so rather hot. Lumpy uncomfortable pillows. Asked for a quiet room away from the lifts but located right next to them.

Rooms were dated. Had to provide my own set of batteries to be able to use the room safe. Room door lock did not work. Toilet did not flush properly.
