What an absolute gem of a place . The three bed room looking towards the garden ( nr 19 ) was spacious and quiet . There is a lounge to sit , read and talk . The kitchen is alright . Breakfast is good and you can order eggs any style . And the whole is located smack jn the center near everything . But lhe real reason for this excellent review is the personnel both front desk as kitchen . Eleine and Sophie n Know EVERYTHING about ANYTHING , give handy info about tours , prices , arrange cabs , always good humored always smiling . Arriving very early in morning after a night flight , they prepared our room really fast and offered free breakfast . This is an example of how a place should be run !
We stayed here for 3 nights. It’s a nice hotel with friendly staff. It’s the small things that bother me like on the 2nd floor at the elevator only the up button can be pressed. At breakfast, at 09:00 when we came for breakfast the eggs were cold. The next day we had a pickup at 07:10 and they said breakfast starts at 06;00. I guess nobody told the kitchen staff. They only put out the food at 06:25 and the eggs were cold. The 3rd day we went down at 06:20 and everyone still had to wait for them. And guess what, the eggs were cold. The rooms are nice and you have a nice view from the room to lake Argentina.
After brilliant experiences all over Argentina, Arakur in Ushuaia, Los Cerros in El Chalten, to hotels in Bariloche, BA. Mendoza etc, we were excited to stay here at Lagos. How disappointing. The breakfast was the quality of a hotel one third the price. They could not control guests at 1am from running up and down hallways, partying in rooms. The walls have no insulation, so my wife could hear snoring through her ear plugs, through a wall. The staff were obnoxiously rude. The rooms dated, no free water. At least they were clean. The lobby is nice, the pool beautiful. The chainsaw, mower and other power tools all day outside window, for three days though has been testing. Ask to speak to manager and got nothing. Changing rooms to cheaper one but not getting refundwas also hard. Do not recommend
I would like to highly recommend Linda Vista and Linda the owner. We were family of five coming from Miami. The apartment is big, well equipped, and super clean. The breakfast is great and staff are efficient and nice like Linda. The service is truly unbelievable: anything we needed was successfully dealt with immediately no matter what was the time or request. Moreover, In terms of trips in the area Linda is so knowledgeable and helped us choose the ones that will be perfect for our family, and save us time online and booked for us whatever we wanted even in the same day without any extra costs and with excellent providers. When there was time for us to leave to Bariloche she found out we forgot our medicine. She immediately contacted us, and though we were in flight away she spent her own time, did everything she could to sent it to us and indeed though we could not find, she was able to locate someone who flew within a day to our location. This kindness and service is very rare and needs to be cherish. We enjoyed our stay very much. It felt like home away from home, and we could not recommend enough Linda vista.
Lovely homely hotel within walking distance of the bus (which was handy as we arrived very late at night). Despite the late time the owners were super helpful and welcoming. Breakfast was plentiful and delicious and the owner offered to bring me a hairdryer when I came out with wet hair (not necessary but the offer was kind).
A modest aging property located in the small town of Califate that provides a convenient base for exploring the nearby lake and natural wonders. It looks quite stately from the lobby and exterior but the rooms and especially the bathrooms are long over due for an upgrade. We stayed for two nights at the end of January as part of a tour to visit glaciers and national parks. We stayed in a king room on the 2nd floor. While perfectly clean and comfortable it was definitely a step down from other hotels on this trip-comparable to a mid-scale spot in the US. Like other area hotels in Patagonia, there is no Ac due to the normally cool climate and heat is provide via antiquated radiators. Luckily there was a large sliding window to open but without any cross ventilation or fan to move air, the room felt stuffy. The small bathroom was at least 20 years old with outdated fixtures like the tub/shower combo and a tiny single sink with antiquated faucet and sputtering water pressure. Bath amenities were also very basic. Breakfast was included and while there were many selections, items were largely packaged and canned foods set out like canned pears, cold cuts, and processed meats and cheese. As I said, despite the woeful lack of creature comforts, as a place to crash for a couple of nights it was perfectly adequate.
Overall the Hotel was nice but when we first checked in the room they assigned to us was facing the dusty parking lot with no view whatsoever except the cars. When asked to be moved to another room, the morning reception person would only give us another room at an addition US $20 per night. The hotel did not appear to be fully booked so we surprised at this request but reluctantly agreed. Upon checking out, the same morning receptionist, she charged us twice for the bottles of water we consumed and in our rush to get the taxi did realize this unit l later. Other than the morning Reception person our stay was good. On the contrary, the evening Reception was much more helpful and pleasant.
Stayed for 3 nights in 2 rooms. Wifi was adequate. Breakfast was from 6:30-1AM - more like a continental breakfast but they did offer scrambled eggs. It was a bit tricky regulating the water temperature - hot/cold dials - but water pressure was adequate. No screens on the windows so if you open them to moderate temperature, you could get a fly or two. Housekeeping was solid. Front desk was helpful (restaurant recommendations, booking a taxi to the airport, confirming our excursion pickup). You will most likely be out early in the morning and back in the evening to clean up before heading into town for dinner. As a result, your time in your room is nominal - just to sleep and that's about the best way to get through your stay. If you come during the holidays. expect to pay holiday sized rates!
