The property is beautiful and the room was really nice.the staff were lovely. The kitchen was the perfect size for me, had everything I needed. But my room was very noisy. There was no soundproofing, so i could hear my very noisy neighbors upstairs (they were loud well after quiet hours) and I could hear traffic all night. It was nice to have access to the gym. I was most looking forward to the sauna and it wasn’t very hot.

This is a wonderful place to stay. The rooms are nice. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The rooms and parking spots are securely located behind a coded gate. It is a short Uber ride to good places to eat. There is a grocery store just across the street (and to the left).

Rooms looked nothing like the photos. Actual room wasn’t as maintained. Parking area is terrible. They have small, tight spots, and people’s cars can get damaged easily by other cars trying to park. The bed was uncomfortable and we had an issue with the breakfast. They told us breakfast was at a certain time, they included the time in their welcome text but no mention that it was for an additional cost. We went, ate some mediocre croissants, some of their plain scrambled eggs, and left the coffee. We walked out of the breakfast dining area a bit disappointed but laughed it off as “this is what you get when you get a free breakfast”. A day or two later, they send a message telling me I owe them for breakfast. I kindly explained that no one mentioned it and that I’m sorry and thought it was included. They simply said I should have checked on Expedia and in their fine print that says to “consult for pricing”. Yeah, well it’s a little sneaky trick because that terrible breakfast should not cost $15 per person. I’ve paid less at a decent specialty coffee shop with better food. Honestly, I wouldn’t recommend this hotel unless you really just needed a room to sleep in during your travels. I would have been really unhappy if this would’ve been our actual hotel for the week in the area.

The bed literally was urinated on! While the sheets looked clean, the minute you laid your head down on the bed you could smell urine. When I pulled the sheets back there was a large urine stain on the bed. The floors were so dirty that the minute you took your shoes off your feet were black. The room looked as if it hadn’t been cleaned at all and the shower had slimey stuff all over it. The room was really in need of repair as there were huge chunks taken out of the wood beams, dents and scuff marks all up the wall and the white paint on the walls was horribly dirty.

Not great, not terrible.

The size of the room was great. Fully stocked kitchen, but no coffee. You can not get coffee unless you purchase the full breakfast. They did give us a free breakfast voucher. The grounds are beautiful. A bit far from downtown. The room did smell of sewer and cigarettes. We had to leave a window open. The heater in the bathroom did not work. The gym is not on the grounds, but 2 blocks away going through an unidentifiable gate. We guessed correctly which gate it was.

Upscale health club with different types of rooms

Best to stay in main house of hotel, most up to date rooms. If you are in the Best Western section you are getting small, bungalow type rooms. The hotel is really a short walk away, where breakfast is served in the winter.

Nice pace to stay but there were issues

We stayed at the Best Western portion of Villa Sofia. First, the pros- nice, secluded guest houses in a wooded area of a quiet neighborhood. The studios are like wood cabins that are very quaint and comfortable. There is a good kitchenette too. Now the cons, we were told (or maybe it was a miscommunication) that breakfast was included. Upon checkout, we discovered that we had $100 in breakfast charges, but we never would have gone had we thought there was a charge (especially since we had plenty of food from the supermarket and a kitchen in the room). Maybe there was some misunderstanding, but in any other situation, I would have expected the hotel to give the customer the benefit of the doubt, and they refused to waive the charge, which I had to later dispute with my credit card company. The entire experience tainted our stay. Other Cons- There was no shampoo in out hotel room for the first 2 days until we requested it. The hotel is up a very steep hill from town, and we had to take several cabs to get back because it was so tiring. Also, I took a massage at the spa--it was inexpensive, which I thought was great, but the masseuse was terrible and used no pressure even after I asked a few times for more pressure. Also, the massage rooms were like high-walled cubicles, with no ceiling, so you could hear other people at the spa talking and shouting--very unrelaxing!

Good if ski season otherwise a bit out of towb

Nice size room, but room was unbearably hot so much so we couldn't sleep. There was a problem with the heating which we contacted reception about but we got no solution. The room temperature control had broken. It feels like a ski lodge and we stayed in Spring. It is a little out of town so next time I would stay closer but it does have a supermarket across the road if you wish to cook. Staff were pleasant. Reasonably priced.

Comfortable hotel for ski getaway

My girlfriend and I were looking for a hotel to stay in Bariloche for our ski trip to Cerro Catedral. The room was very comfortable and had its own kitchen in which we made a couple of meals. On the first night, the power went out in the area and the hotel staff provided us with a candle. The power resumed five hours later in the evening. It was a little inconvenient that the free continental breakfast and the pool/spa were located further up the steet between other unassociated buildings. Downtown is located at the bottom of a steep hill about 10 minutes away and 15 minutes going up. it can be quite a workout getting up especially when carrying warm clothes for skiing at the mountain. We took a bus to the mountain (which was cheap 10 pesos) and that bus stop was also downtown. The staff was generally friendly and some of the staff was able to speak English since our Spanish wasn't perfect. I might recommend another hotel downtown near the bus stop if you are also planning on taking the bus to the mountain. We wanted a hotel with a pool that was near the downtown area and got what we wanted.
