La posizione dell'hotel è fantastica. Si gode una stupenda vista sulla città e sul lago argentino incorniciato dalle montagne. L'ambiente è rilassante e familiare. Il propietario accogliente e disponibile a consigli e aiuto. Un grazie particolare al suo giovane figlio Tomas per la sua gentilezza e grazia. Siamo stati benissimo!

El establecimiento está bien para ser 3 estrellas. El administrador y la recepcionista Jéssica son muy amables y buscaron mil maneras para resolver nuestras inquietudes. La vista del lugar es muy linda. La cocina es mala y el chef muy poco amable. Decidimos comer todos los días fuera por esta razón

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
I turned up to this hotel having booked and paid many months previously to be told there was no room for us.(I cant believe they couldn't have emailed me to let me know) The owner said he ha found us another place to stay and that they would throw in a dinner as compensation. the other hotel was nearby,(and I think would have been better than the one we were rejected from). Expedia should look at there booking system as the owner blamed them for there being no room( I didnt believe that) anyway we ended up staying at Tehuel plaza and I would give it 10 out of 10 and thoroughly recomend it as a good place to stay. the dinners they supplied vere very tasty and seemed like home cooked argantine food

Intimate experience with an excellent view

The staff made the experience very intimate and lovely as they were very accommodating to us. The only slight downside was the size of the room and the fact that people would be turned off by the location of the hotel compared to some closer to the centre.

Traumhafte Aussieht

Traumhafte, ruhige Lage. Auch wenn man ca. eine halbe Stunde zu Fuß in den Ort braucht. Zu den Touren wird man am Hotel abgeholt und wieder zurück gebracht. Das Frühstück ist gut und man kann abends sehr preiswert und gut im Restaurant des Hotels essen. Sehr freundliches Personal, sehr gutes Preis Leistungsverhältnis. Wir würden das Hotel immer wieder buchen.
