La Cascada Hotel

The view from the hotel is worth the trip, I could sit for hours looking at the lake. The restaurant of the hotel was nice and food was relatively good. Also, I was given an upgrade and my room was spacious, cosy and comfortable. The SPA is pleasant with a heated swimming pool and a sauna

The location, outside of Bariloche, is quite depressing. Literally there is nothing around, you have to walk along a dusty road for 10 minutes to get to any basic facilities. Reaching the city centre and the Cerro Catedral is equally difficult as buses are very poorly organised and the hotel does not provide any shuttle service. The first room I was given was in dire need of a renovation, very old, with a stained floor mat and outdated/worn out furniture. Luckily I got an upgrade

The view to the lake was awesome and the room was just like it said it would be when booking, this is always a plus. The heating was very good as well, nice and warm with below freezing outside. It had several areas one could stay in case you didn't want to leave the hotel, or if you couldn't. We forgot some items in the room when we left ( a wallet with credit cards amongst them) and were contacted by the hotel that same day. We were able to swing back before we left the country. :)

We were literally stuck in the hotel for a whole day of our vacation time ( and this is because we are from the snowbelt fingerlike area of NY and know how to drive in snow) The place had a 50 mt drive way from the street ( which was plowed) in a circular uphill design. The hotel did not clean this entrance EVER in the 4 days we were there after the 1 foot snow fall. We were finally able to drive up the second day to get our friends to their flight with much effort and left the car parked in the street from then on, and walked up and down with suitcases through the snow and slush. They had no equipment whatsoever, other than a construction shovel (metal...) and only one!! Which of course we used to plow our way out. As you can see in the pic, it wasn't that much snow.

Beautiful lake view, quiet getaway out of the city. Clean. Nice private beach area. Comfy beds. friendly staff. Great value for money.

Not sure if this hotel can be classed as 4 star.... The building and interior are very dated but still in good condition. The grounds could be better kept (cigarette buds lying on the grass by the spa). Pool in spa is very clean but small. The sauna was broken and there was no jacuzzi. breakfast was more 2star standard.
