Hotele z: breakfast w Rio Negro, Argentina

Upon arrival in cerro catedral. Met by Samuel who was very warm and friendly. He and the morning receptionist (i’m sorry you were amazing i just forgot your name). They gave advice and offered options as my ski plans did not go as intended. Regardless this place has an incredible walking distance to Cerro Catedral base. That’s the compliments i can give. This was the most expensive accommodation of my whole trip. I knew it was a simple ski lodge but upon arrival i told Samuel about my flight troubles and asked him what’s to order in room service. Was just the one option grilled chicken and your choice of side. Okay food arrived hot and well. Good portions but all the sauce packets given (at least 5 mustard and 5 ketchup) they were all expired as i opened the mustard to discover a thick foul smelling sludge. I was tired hungry and out of options i just ate the food without condiments. Breakfast was as expected from Samuel’s description and had no issues but arriving at 9am for there to be scraps of eggs left. The ham looked very heavily processed with some clear rubber looking (it’s to be assumed as the fat) bits hanging off. Look maybe i’m being picky but for the money spent i’ve had far value for dollar in my years of travel. Regardless, the noise you can hear in the rooms, from the lift, to foot steps, to neighbouring rooms. Hard to sleep especially with an early snow day tomorrow. The room overall very ancient, pillows flat, the balcony light switch nowhere to be found. The outlets sparked everytime i’d try to insert something inside. TV too old for me to figure out how to use, Thank you Samuel for assisting me in figuring things out. Regardless besides my abundance of complaints. I enjoyed my time having a location with a view of the mountains. Sheets and towels changed daily. Would’ve liked liquid soap but oh well. Last thing is that the hot water was amazing and would last long enough for my shower. Greatly appreciated

Nice service! People in general, was so kind. Even tho, we had to stay in one campus for two days and we had to move to the other, where we had made the reservation, for admin problems. But in general, it's great. Breakfast is not a big super yummy thing, normal.

Hotel is very centrally located on a main shopping thoroughfare. Because of a fiesta it was noisy until about midnight. Very little English is spoken which was a problem when we asked for help with a cancelled flight. We moved to Hilton Hotel which was cheaper and much better in all respects. Hotel Cristal is in need of updating. The Jacuzzi shower cubicle in our bathroom was extremely old and awkward to get in and out of and was totally useless. Only a spray head worked and the pressure was useless so goodness knows how it ever worked all the jets! Waited ages for hot water and then it would suddenly go freezing cold. Went for a drink in the bar and they could not offer a glass of wine. Wine only by the bottle! I asked about the notice saying Happy Hour and was told that was only if you had Campari or Vodka! Buffet breakfast was fine. Would I choose it again - no. Plenty other hotels in Bariloche.

All was very good except that they charge 16 Us dollar per day and Person additional per Day and Person for using the Hotel attractions no matter if you use them o not and stay all time in your Room it's obligatory to everyone . This Extra fee is nowhere assigned in the App and also not mentioned when you check in .. They take a payment of Garantie when you checkin to make sure that you pay the Fee. It's a complety hidden fee . I book frequently Hotel with App and never ever had such additional fee .. Why they just don't put there complety Price for a room not Transparent as all hotelsprice do it.. It's like saying the cost 100 dollar by the Air you Herath you have to pay extra ..Extremly unfair and I had a long Discussion when I checked in ..finaly they payed Back this Rip Off fees ...!!

Not sure why this hotel gets so highly rated. It was noisy. I had room 502, a large room on the 5th floor, facing Guemes Street (I think..). It had a large king bed, a kitchenette and a balcony.  I found it was a bit tired.  The wall that leads out onto the balcony is all floor to ceiling glass and has sliding doors.  I don't think that it was double glazed, the seals were non-existent and let in every bit of noise from the busy street below as well as the noisy air conditioner compressor on the balcony. There were no seals on the hallway door and no soft close.  I definitely won't be staying again.

This was such a wonderful stay! The staff - and specifically Gonzalo - were so incredibly helpful. From arranging me airport transfer to/from, to giving me recommendations on places to see locally, and just generally being incredibly helpful. The space itself has a beautiful view overlooking a lake with Andes mountains in sight. The room was charming and clean - with heated floors!!! The location is away from the center of Bariloche so it was much quieter which I loved. Also right next to an amazing park to hike and see the waterfalls. You don’t NEED a car, but I would probably recommend one.

I should not complaint for the place because of the price of the private room. It is a good budget option for a couple or friends to stay. Pro They provide us free tea and crackers. Price warm room locatiin walking distance from the bus station Con Limited access to the kitchen (They were doing big cleaning and maintenance and we couldn't use kitchen for 2days) Shower room needs to updated(door and drain system) As I mentioned at first, this place is very cheap and good to stay for budget travellers!!!

the location is great. breakfast is good but basic. room is comfy. we reserved a room with a queen bed but we actually got 2 single beds but together. We got a room in the 5th floor but the elevator in the 5th floor doesn't work so we need to take the elevator to the 4th floor and then stairs, this is very annoying and it is expected from an hotel to fix this stuff or let know people before hand. We were told that there is parking, and there is one, but because of a festival during the weekend there is not enough room so all the cars are blocking one another and we had to leave the car keys on the reception so they can move the cars, despite of this lack of room the receptionist told me that the hotel rents parking space to other people that are not guests, this is really a shame,guest should get priority and not suffer from this mess because the hotel owner/manager wants to make extra money.

Reception asked us to make the check in ourselves with a link they provided which wasn’t working. After 30 mins trying without success they said it was ok and they could do it 🤨🤨 Plus they gave us a room and then changed us to a different one with 3 small beds (when we asked for a double and a single)

We enjoyed our time at the hotel overall. One thing to note is that the hotel does not allow outside food, and there is no eating in the rooms. Most of the staff was very friendly. A negative point was breakfast often running out of items, with no plans to replenish them, unless asked specifically.
