Reviews and Ratings
My stay at Design Suites Bariloche was a mixed experience. The rooms were almost the size of an apartment, large, and comfortable, with lots of storage, but the property as a whole felt cold and unwelcoming. The in-room hot tub offered a great view of the lake, yet the lack of an appealing exterior view dampened the overall room experience. The separation of rooms from reception, club, and restaurant was inconvenient due to the significant climb required.
My stay at the hotel offered spacious rooms with a great view and comfort. However, the thin walls and floors made it a bit noisy at times. The location, nestled in a hillside forest with stunning lake views, was peaceful but slightly inconvenient in winter. The service was a mix of helpful and cranky staff, with some instances of rudeness. The dining experience was decent, although not ideal for vegan guests. The facilities were adequate, but there were some missed opportunities.
