Five stars for an older three-star hotel? Yes! My wife and I purposefully seek out places to stay on our trips that make us feel like we are truly experiencing the country we are visiting. We just returned from an eight night stay at Hotel Tirol. This hotel exceeded our expectations. Without question, we would return.||The location of Hotel Tirol is amazing. We were assigned a balcony room on the rear of the hotel, overlooking Nahuel Huapi and the snowcapped mountains of Patagonia...breathtaking. The hotel is about 100 yards away from Civico Centro, the visitors center, and El Mitre Street with all its shops. Wonderful restaurants (Alberto, Manush, etc.) are within easy walking distance. ||The entire hotel, and our room included, was spotless. When changing towels, the cleaning crew actually clean the entire room just as though they we cleaning for a new guest. The room included a great king-size mattress that allowed us to sleep as though we were at home. The bathroom has plenty of hot water, a good shower, and a bidet. The room also had an electircal outlet that accepted our U.S. two-prong plug-ins. The room proved very comfortable...new furniture would not have made it any more comfortable for us. ||The front desk is amazing. All of the people that we encountered there were patient, cheerful, helpful. We relied on them for money exchange, bottled water, directions, and even speaking for us on the telephone with Spanish speakers. We give a special thank you to Nariana. She was absolutely wonderful...when you come to her with a question or need, her focus is on you. Always so welcoming, professional and cheerful!||Breakfast is good. The ladies that handle the dining room are constantly bringing out new items or replenishing other items, as well as cleaning and straightening. We were always fortified for our morning adventures.||When you return from an outing, there is always a warm hello from the desk staff, housekeeping, and even the owner who is routinely on premises. We felt so welcome and secure.||If you are like us, and seek out such hotels, you cannot go wrong with Hotel Tirol.
