Great stay!

We had a great stay. The hotel itself looks very nice and the room is very clean. The bed was comfortable. There was a mini fridge, safe, and a kettle with cups and teabags to make tea. Breakfast was plentiful and with good choices. Both Karina and Oriana were very helpful. And the rest of the staff are friendly. Location is amazing. Near restaurants, a supermarket, and close to the start of several hikes like Laguna De Los Tres. Would not hesitate to recommend.

Nice little hotel, and they bent over backwards to provide a gluten free breakfast for my husband. My only issue was that our lovely Room 16 had a view into the most awful mess, someone that appeared to be living in a container on the edge of the property, with tools and ladders everywhere. A simple fence would block this unsightliness for Room 16 guests. Otherwise the room was lovely.

This was a great stay. Super clean, staff was outstanding and the day started with a top notch breakfast. Best coffee of our trip! The location was ideal for hiking and enjoying pubs and restaurants. Rooms are a bit tired and lounge furniture pretty lumpy… Would have been lovely to have a bit of outdoor seating to enjoy the views. But the upsides are of great value. Would stay again! Wonderful staff!!

Stayed in room 24 which faces the afternoon sun. It's already autumn but the room got so hot in the afternoon that we had to open the window to let in the cool autumm air. Unfortunately, the houseflies flew in too! We spent the next 2 days getting rid of the houseflies. I think we killed at least 6 of them. Cannot imagine what it's like to be staying in that room in summer. On the other hand, breakfast was good - their alfajores were fantastic. Location - on San Martin avenue and close to the start of the main hikes such as laguna del tres, laguna capri and chorillo de salto. There are 2 cosy sitting areas in the lobby (good to hang out in to get away from the hot room). Complimentary coffee and lemon infused water was a nice touch too.
