Puerto Madryn hotellia

Plussat: Very comfy bed Very clean Very nice owner !

Plussat: Great location near the sea front and within walking distance of the pier and the boardwalk etc. Nice garden area. Separate traveller kitchen, social area to hang out in. Great bathroom with a bath - although need to put a better blind up so as not to be seen from outside.

Miinukset: Some of the furniture, fixtures & fittings are a bit dated and could do with an update. The double bed was 2 x single beds put together but had a gap so made the bed a bit uncomfortable. Was disappointed not to have had the parrilla / asado on any of the days we stayed there - even though it had been promised. The hostel accepts credit card payments but at the check out time of 10am on the day I was checking out, the owner was updating his phone so payment couldn't be made by card and had to be made in cash. It was odd that the update had to be done then and not in advance of the check out time. So, very frustrating.

Plussat: Helpful Manager, opportunity to join tasty in-house Argentinian BBQ which was 350 Pesos that night, overaverage breakfast, very comfy matress in the double room, bed was made each day, good shower, we were offered to have a shower after our snorkeling trip the day we checked out.

Miinukset: No Payment option without additional fee/tax (10% on Credit Card or 21% on Cash although you don't need to pay the tax as a foreigner, even if you book via booking.com to our knowledge), so we paid with transferwise with the smallest fee possible. We also did not like the Manager's recommendation to cycle the unpaved Ruta 42 in order to spot Whales as the road has been in very poor (very sandy and bumpy) condition. The lookout itself is great but the road aweful for cyclists.

Plussat: Gaston the owner is a great person to be with and a great Asador as well. He made sure I felt comfortable in my trip. His hospitality was awesome and the hostel is like a big house you can be in with all the facilities! The location is great, price really affordable and just one block away from the seashore. Incase you come to puerto madryn rest assured this is a great hostel to be in.

Miinukset: Wifi on the first floor works but could have been better

Plussat: The hostel might be as nice as many other you'll find in Argentina, but the atmosphere is unique. Gaston is the perfect host, he arranged for us every activity we might desire, he was very flexible and gave us 24/7 assistence with whatsapp since the moment we booked (months before our trip). It's a great place to meet people, especially since Gaston frequently prepares asado for everyone who might wanna join him in the common kitchen. Nice breakfast and clean room and bathroom. Rarely in life you meet someone who is outstanding at what they do, Gaston is one of them! And we were lucky enough to enjoy his company and help!

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Great location right by the beach, The owner Gaston was amazing , helped me book some excursion, get a taxi ... rooms were really clean and the beds really comfy

Plussat: It's enough for us, especially the hotel service and travel suggestion from the boss, really nice!

Plussat: Hotel is clean and has a good location

Miinukset: The main problem was that the room was super hot and there was no way to control it since its a central heating system. We just tried to spend as much time out off the room. At night we left the window open but it was noisy. The stuff tried to help- didn’t really help.

Plussat: But The staff is extraordinary good :-) Whalewatching from the room how cool was that I am feeling welcome and good served for a fair price ... stayed here for 4 nights and can recommend this Hotel... Early check in and late check out was possible without any discussion. THANKS FOR THIS super service :-)

Miinukset: A bit old fashioned compared to the neighbour Hotel Pirin are the rooms small and its not possible to steer the heating

Plussat: very good breakfast

Plussat: excellent hotel, excellent location, very helpful staff.

Plussat: I got an ocean view room and it was fantastic to watch the sunrise, amazing colors. Breakfast was really good and had a good selection of food. It has a small spa and a great massage!

Miinukset: The bathroom has a small window that it was ok on general terms but very inconvenient when showering, so I had to cover it with a towel.

Plussat: Nice hotel, excellent location, good breakfast.

Plussat: A much needed quiet stay after long travel. Bed was v comfortable. Breakfast was good. Reception was friendly.

Miinukset: Bathroom was a bit small and cramped. No complimentary tea coffee facility in room - although maybe that is not a usual service to be expected in Argentina?

Plussat: Breakfast was very good with a nice variety, but coffee was the exception... not good. The front rooms have an amazing view. Beautiful sunrises.

Miinukset: Coffee... could be much better. Seems they had problems with the filter, lots of sludge.

Plussat: Friendly staff apple in room

Plussat: Great location, clean, lovely breakfast.

Miinukset: Only downside is that there isn’t enough parking for guests, had to use street parking and then could only find parking two blocks up and a couple streets over.

Plussat: Lovely and clean and VERY good breakfast. Super accommodating staff and genuine. Perfect location and happy to help with rental car, restaurants etc

Miinukset: Check out was long and painful, and receipts were not itemised

Plussat: Cleanliness, restaurant, breakfast, location

Miinukset: The availability of the staff at the front desk

Plussat: The staff were extremely helpful and the room very quiet and comfortable. Extensive breakfast was included and the location was right in the centre of the town. The hotel was great value for money.

Miinukset: The room was a little too hot although there was a fan.

Plussat: The hotel staff were extraordinarily helpful and friendly. They went out of their way to make certain that my family was comfortable, including offering to provide breakfast food for the kids at dinner time. Everything we ate at the hotel was excellent. The breakfast offering was presented meticulously and has a far-range of food. The hotel rooms were spacious, clean and comfortable. This hotel far exceeded my expectations.

Miinukset: Nothing.

Plussat: Great breakfast, central location.

Plussat: View and location are just amazing. The hotel style is very well defined. Relax room on the top floor is beautiful.

Miinukset: Breakfast is poor, not good quality food. Coffee was cold, scrambled eggs cold as well. Not much fruits variety.

Plussat: The decor was lovely—understated chic, modern but welcoming.

Miinukset: We thought some of the engineering was goofy.

Plussat: Room size. Decor

Miinukset: Breakfast service No signs to help us find the hotel. A little far to walk to nearest restaurant.

Plussat: everything was perfect!

Miinukset: complimentary transportation to the city center would have been amazing since it is a little bit tucked away.

Plussat: The location is great. During whale season you can see them literally right out of your window as this property faces the bay. Also, this boutique hotel is beautiful and the rooms impeccable.

Miinukset: They do not have a restaurant so you're forced to leave in order to find lunch or dinner. Their bar menu is very limited.

Plussat: This was our second stay at this hotel. We love it’s position 50m from the beach on the edge of the town where it is quiet, but close enough to enjoy a walk along the beach to restaurants. All of the rooms have a sea view and are very comfortable. The bar area also provides similar views in a very relaxing environment. The staff are always friendly and helpful.

Plussat: Very comfortable, very friendly, bath with a view!

Miinukset: Spa facilities... would have been good to be introduced to them on arrival! We only knew about them on second day after we asked!

Plussat: Hotellin on rauhallinen ja hiljainen ja siellä tuskin huomaa olevan muita asukkaita. Näköala merelle on oikein miellyttävä.

Miinukset: Aamiainen on hivenen suppea, mutta sillä saa päivän käyntiin! Ravintolasta saa illalliseksi leipiä, pizzoja ja salaatteja, mutta muuten tarjonta on melko suppea. Eli jos haluaa syödä paremmin kannattaa suunnata keskustaan.

Plussat: Everything was perfect and the concierge that take care of us was the best one we ever met, very kind and helpfull. Thank you we will be surely back in whale season!

Plussat: The staff were very helpful in general. The breakfast was good, although it was the same every morning and without much variety. the view as great from the library. Wifi was hard to connect to in rooms on the east side of the building.

Miinukset: the A/C was not working after the first day, and I asked to have it fixed. Nothing was done.

Plussat: Hotel is nice if a bit dated. Rooms and bathrooms are big and comfortable. You have sea view from bathroom too. The spa has a small pool where you can relax while watching the bay (you need to book it and is too small for swimming).

Miinukset: Towels smell of chlorine/cleaning products. It is far from center, about 20 min walk to nearest decent restaurant.

Plussat: It's a quiet place, good located and the staff is super friendly

Plussat: Very clean rooms and kitchen. Rooms are build very practical but with enough space around the beds for luggage

Plussat: Great staff, very helpful! Clean hostel and everyone was very friendly there.

Plussat: The place it´s close to main city attractions.

Miinukset: The breakfast was very bad, with lack of things like cheese, ham, fruits etc.

Plussat: Friendly staff. Nice common room. Conveniently located in the center of town

Miinukset: It was very noisy because the walls are so thin. We additionally had the room right next to reception so we got woken up by noisy guests going on early morning excursions. Try to get a room further back and you’ll be fine.

Plussat: The showers were great and the communal areas were nice with a good kitchen and lounge with a pool table. Plenty of parking and comfy rooms. Breakfast was decent

Miinukset: The room was pretty small

Plussat: Book car rental in advance as local rental agencies sell out early during peak times. If doing whale watching in Puerto piramides I would consider staying over the night before, makes it much easier and nice to stay there. Provided good laundry service for 300 peso per bag same day.

Plussat: Perfect location, heating was ok, kitchen with basic elements. Quality/price ratio is good.

Miinukset: Sometimes elevator takes time but not a big deal. No Coffee machine.

Plussat: The location was good and the staff helpful.

Miinukset: It was basic accommodation and lacked a sense of warmth.

Plussat: We were a family of 4. Plenty of room and bright and sunny apartment. Very comfortable and clean. Perfect place to visit Porto Madryn. Great value for money.

Miinukset: Wi-Fi ok for WhatsApp and Instagram etc but better to have a SIM card if you need internet for work, checking emails etc.

Plussat: Location, friendly staff help carried our bags, very responsive before in booking our car park, room size

Miinukset: Overpriced for what you got (we stayed at Wyndham El Calafate for similar price and was a lot better hotel). Things were broken in our bathroom, looked a bit dated, gave us 2 single beds when we ordered a double Breakfast was very average to poor

Plussat: Great location with water view. Very helpful front desk staff. Dry steam room and jacuzzi can be reserved for 45 minute stay (no extra charge). Glassed in roof deck with seating area and chaise lounges has wonderful view of city and waterfront. Breakfast plentiful - 6:30 - 10:30 am Restaurant (dinner) has exotic menu at very reasonable prices. Excellent experience.

Miinukset: Room was warm when sun streaming in and overnight. We propped the windows open and cooler with ocean breeze.

Plussat: Nice rooms, location and views

Miinukset: Poor internet connection Breakfast could be a bit better

Plussat: good location, good size room

Miinukset: shower was not working properly first day, but they fixed it when i asked, so facilities could improve, but the service of the team covers for it

Plussat: Spent six nights at the Dazzler at the end of May/first days of June. We were pleased with the room (602) which has parket flooring, a desk, a safe, minibar and a king size, confortable, bed. The bathroom has a walk in shower, a bidet and basic toiletries in dispensers. As other guests commented, the room becomes quite warm during the day but it’s pleasant to keep windows open and hear the sound of waves at night. Although, the main issue with this is that there is a children’s park right in front of the hotel and children, and young adults, are up noisily playing and just hanging out until past midnight. If you are a light sleeper, you’ll need to choose between view and heat or late night noise. Daily room cleaning staff do a very good job. Front desk staff are helpful and professional. Breakfast is very simple and just about adequate. A special touch is the mate and flask provided for those who enjoy mate prior to their coffee. There is a welcome special promotion during June, July and August of a free ‘Bienvenida’ minibar which contains a couple of beers, water, soft drinks and some snacks. We were allowed a very late check out (18.30) for 35 USD. I would recommend this hotel for its location and price over any other.

Plussat: Breakfast was good and staff also heated up the eggs, when requested. Good choice and well set out. Staff were very cordial and helpful. Front reception staff helpful and professional, also helped with local directions. Great location on seafront. with a number of local restaurants. Room and bed very comfortable and cleaning support was excellent.

Miinukset: Individual heating/cooling controls in the room would be better, we were not in summer and the more expensive rooms face the water, the room was hot most of the time. Think I should have chosen the room facing the town, not as great but probably cooler. The restaurant was nice, but the quality of the hotel needs a a "better" evening venue.

Plussat: Nothing special

Miinukset: The staff, the breakfast

Plussat: Staff, location, cleanliness, ocean front room

Miinukset: No control of temperature in room, needed to call font desk a number of times, temp didn't change. So hot could not sit in room during day, cannot imagine how unbearable this is in the summer. Had already booked a extra few days, hope it improves as so uncomfortable.. For this reason will not stay here again.

Plussat: excellent location a couple of kilometres out of town, very kind hosts who gave good advise on things to visit in the area.

Plussat: Everything! Daniel and Patricia are excellent hosts, they saw that we had everything we needed and served and excellent breakfast. Our group of four consisted of my wife, myself and two cousins from Argentina. The cabins were very comfortable, very well appointed, nice shower and a coffee maker. One night we decided to stay at the farm for dinner, one of the additional services offered, and must say that Daniel and Patricia prepared a dinner that we will not forget anytime soon, at a very reasonable price. Additionally, Daniel not only provided directions to local attractions, but, when it was convenient to us, made reservations. We would highly recommend this location to anyone interested when visiting Puerto Madryn.

Miinukset: Nothing....

Plussat: Daniel and Patricia were very welcoming and available. They went above and beyond to make our stay relaxing and enjoyable. The room was very cozy and comfortable and breakfast was great. They even packed a doggy bag for the day we had an early excursion.

Plussat: The whole experience was outstanding, from the airport pick-up to the final departure. Our hosts were responsive, flexible and helpful from the outset. We were on wildlife photography trip and our guide picked us up early every morning, so Patricia delivered a great 'continental' breakfast to our room the night before, so we could have our breakfast before setting out. The rooms are really cosy, with a comfy bed, large bath and plenty of hot water and a wood-burning stove. The rural location is peaceful and great for those visiting the area to enjoy nature. Thoroughly recommended!

Miinukset: Obviously you need your own transport, but that's simply the other side of staying out of town.

Plussat: Lovely hosts, very good breakfast, quiet environment, authentic accomodation.

Plussat: Great hostel !! Familiar, comfy, clean, quiet and well located. It's simple but it has all what a traveler may need. But the best of this hostel are the owners. They are really kind and helpful. They put all their knowledge of Puerto Madryn at my disposal, they organizaed for me all the tours.I had a perfect journey even thogh the bad weather. Thank you very much !!! My stay at Puerto Madryn has been amazing thanks to you.

Miinukset: Everything was perfect

Plussat: Really friendly owners who gave us a lot information about the city and the activities in the area. They also gave us a voucher for discount for whale watching, what was very kind of them:) The room was nice with a comfy bed and because it was really cold outside there is a heater in the room. We could make the room very warm:) Room, shower and toilets were clean and we really enjoyed our stay here!

Miinukset: We could not pay with creditcard :(

Plussat: The host was really nice and helpful! The breakfast was good and the room had a lot of facilities, good curtains, airconditioning, a lot of space. The wi-fi was fast.

Miinukset: The shower didn't spread the water like I expect a shower to do. There was the sound of dripping water throughout the night. My girlfriend had trouble connecting to the wi-fi at times. All really minor stuff, seeing how great the time was we had.

Plussat: Clean, comfortable. The heater in the room was good and warmed the room fast. Very close to the waterfront, the staff and owners were very welcoming and helpful

Miinukset: The male shower didn't really have anywhere up put clothes, good female bathroom though

Plussat: Gladis and Mathias are very pleasant hosts. The accommodation is very clean and generally a good place to relax. I would definitely come again!!!

Miinukset: Card payment is a little bit awkward.

Plussat: Gladys is an amazing hostess. Smiles, interested and lots of suggestions. The hostel is a 15 min walk away from the bus terminal and near shops/ beach.

Miinukset: It is a little worn so bed was a little uncomfortable and small pillows.

Plussat: Location was good Breakfast was always fresh pastries from the bakery Lockers for personal belongings

Miinukset: Bed was uncomfortable Only one bathroom for the whole hostel

Plussat: Great people, even in bad weather they gave us ideas.

Plussat: Best hostel in town for the best price! The owners and Thomas were so friendly and helpful and spoke perfect English. Helped us arrange a tour of the peninsula and the bedroom, bathroom and kitchen were spotless. Breakfast was good with a selection of pastries and just a 2 min walk from the beach and 10 mins to city centre.

Miinukset: Nothing at all.

Plussat: Really friendly helpful staff, great location

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: The beds and room was very spacious.

Plussat: Nice homely feel, Rodrigo is great help for booking tours and getting local advice.

Plussat: The first bad review, I have ever written. The most terrible thing was, that he asked more money! The provided prices in ARS to booking, and its recalculated to USD by international rate(which use booking). But we came, and he ask 200 ARS more! Because he is using rates of Banco national, but he knows very well, that its different one, than booking is using!' I know, its just about 3 euros, but its not fair! We told to him, but once our spanish its not good, he was pretending, that didnt understand. It says very good breakfast, but it wasnt. Really small, coffee was just black water. Also we listen everything from another room and from the bathroom.

Plussat: Rodrigo is the absolute best host!!! We felt so welcome at Loica, he has really created a sense of family. We had a room for our family of 5 for 5 nights, with a shared bathroom (only shared 2 out of 5 nights since the other room was empty for 3). We used the kitchen to prepare lunch and supper. Breakfast was great with hot chocolate, coffee, croissants, pastries and Rodrigo’s amazing cake! 2 blocks from the beach, 10 minutes walk from the bus terminal, 5-7 minute walk to the grocery store, the location is perfect! There is a lovely dog that lives on the property as well. Very highly recommended!!

Miinukset: The bed sheets could use a refresher and there are no towels provided. The main street can get very noisy at night and early morning with motorbikes making so much noise.

Plussat: GREAT Attention and location ! I spent an amazing time and I felt at home!

Plussat: Excellent location and extremely kind a and helpful staff. Plus a really cool and friendly dog :)

Plussat: Friendly staff. Good location

Miinukset: Could be a bit more cleaner

Plussat: Nice hostle in the middle of the city. Very helpfull and you can buy tours directly. Not much english but tried hard to help. Value for money but keep in mind that price usually follows comfort. It is a hostle...

Plussat: Very friendly staff! Amazing tour to the peninsula and whale watching. Nice breakfast. Good hostel facilities.

Plussat: - very comfortable yard - good breakfast - can book tours at the reception - staff speaks English

Plussat: Staff was really friendly and helpful. They would let us use some of the facilities even after checkout time like the kitchen (which had everything you need) and a bathroom. They have a very nice yard to take a siesta. You have 3 hours to have breakfast starting from 7am.

Miinukset: They would offer me day trips with agencies "they work with" but even after paying them they wouldn't confirm me whether I had a spot or not for the trip. And they would take some time to actually say "ok, you can go". That was annoying. I'd recommend booking trips yourself. Lockers didn't look safe and you could see what was inside too easily. Bunk beds aren't comfortable for tall people (>1.85m)

Plussat: Very friendly, accommodating staff. Great location just a few blocks from the beach. Rooms cleaned everyday. Good courtyard chill area with hammock.

Plussat: Amazing staff and facilities, very comfortable and cozy, helpings you with a great attitude and always smiling!

Plussat: The staff is super friendly and helpful with all the tours.

Miinukset: This in not a negative note just a heads up for the tall people, I’m in 1,86cm (6’1) my bed was really small there isn’t much I can expect from a hostel, if you tall please request to be on the middle beds so you not stoked between walls. Don’t hesitate to request as they are more than happy to move you.

Plussat: The staff was friendly and helpful. Problems with the toilet were quickly fixed. Distance to and from central bus station was little as was the walk to the city center.

Miinukset: La Tosca is a decent hostel and has everything one need and what was promised but in my opinion it lacked a homely and comfortable atmosphere.

Plussat: We booked a double room with private bathroom, it was a very convenient room and WiFi was good! Staf was helpful. Location is good, 4 blocks away from the boulevard.

Plussat: The shared kitchen space is the best I've seen in hostels in 2 months of travelling in Argentina & Brazil. Eduardo is really knowledgeable about the area and excursions. Beds were comfy & cosy. Location 4 blocks from the bus station, great for getting to Puerto pirámides and other places like Trelew.

Miinukset: If you pay with card you need to pay tax on top, but you can pay in USD.

Plussat: Lovely hotel and place to stay, you want to add a pool day / sun day and enjoy the green grass area and pool. Bring wine and cheese and enjoy.

Miinukset: We asked for our room setup to be 2 beds in one room and one double in the other, we did this a week in advance. We checked in late around 5pm and this was not done, we were asked to wait 30mins for them to get ready. When I said no they were very accommodating and did the room change while we were at dinner. Rather annoying but the customer service representative dealt with it smoothly.

Plussat: Marina & Diana at front desk reception were A+

Miinukset: Breakfast was good but perhaps offering ehard boiled eggs would be a welcome addition not just breads/sweets and fruit. The Argentine BBQ was tasty but perhaps an offer of a vegetable too? We did get a chopped lettuce and tomato salad no dressing. Also after dinner an offer of a cafe/dessert would be nice. People would pay extra. Just nice to offer.

Plussat: Very charming comfortable and welcoming

Plussat: Helpful staff and lovely grounds. Good facilities.

Miinukset: More staff in kitchen to speed things up!

Plussat: Breakfast was good

Miinukset: Our room was not reached by the wi-fi, we had to stay on the hall to have internet. Room was very noisy

Plussat: Absolutely beautifully and immaculately presented hotel.

Miinukset: Location is OK for the beach, but not for town. Staff on exit were perfunctory, unhelpful. Bed not super comfortable. Overall poor value for money.

Plussat: We arrived and lady at check in could not locate our reservation. Finally we manage to check in Breakfast was very basic breakfast room very messy and staff seem not to know what they were doing. Overall the Posada was not bad but run and managed poorly

Miinukset: Breakfast

Plussat: Franco in reception was very helpful when I needed to locate a lost phone.

Miinukset: Quite a walk from the centre

Plussat: Nice facilities. Hotel staff willing to help with any need.

Miinukset: Need car to get there. Not close to city center

Plussat: Very friendly and super helpful host, really nice self-made marmelade and cake for breakfast

Miinukset: No real space to put your suitcase if you are not using the very big wardrobe for a few days only

Plussat: Lovely host! Helped us with recommendations and car rental. The place is spacious and clean and the location close to the beach.

Miinukset: The street was a little bit noisy at night

Plussat: Brilliant, lovely helpful owners - helped us organised car, tours - excellent, thank you!

Plussat: Good and clean room, the owner (Eugenia) was really nice and helpful

Miinukset: The breakfast could be better (cakes were a bit hit and miss depending on your taste and other than that you had ham and cheese). Make sure you are happy with the locations as it’s a good 20mins way from the centre of the town.

Plussat: Owners are very friendly and helpful The bedroom was clean You can wash your clothes at a small cost You can store your own food in the fridge and eat in the living room (but not cooking)

Miinukset: A bit far away from city centre A bit noisy as it’s on the main avenue Breakfast very basic

Plussat: Staff are very helpful. The rooms are clean and comfortable. It is kind of a B & B set up. The staff will help you book penguin and whale watching tours if you are there in the right season. The location is about a 15 minute walk from downtown Puerto Madryn, which is a safe town.

Plussat: Eugenia the owner of the hostel was very kind and she helped us with everything.

Miinukset: The breakfast was only cake and toast with Marmelade. The cake was good but for us it s not normal to eat so much sugar.

Plussat: Very large room and bathroom. Super-kind owners. They let us park inside their property. We had an early departure so they kindly arranged continental breakfast for us.

Miinukset: A bit noisy = windows on the main street.

Miinukset: The breakfast has to be improved, very poor. Very disappointed because I was expecting something better for the price we paid.
