Very pleased with Amigo del Mundo
Very convenient place to stay while prepping for a trek in the mountains. There is a supermarket right around the corner the bus station is just a few blocks away. The staff were friendly and the room was comfortable and clean. The breakfast was especially nice and prepared us well for our trek!

Excellent Staff
The staff was excellent. Our flight was delayed by 16 hours and the staff helped us arrange a taxi with an English speaking driver/ guide to Perito Moreno. So we didn’t loose. During my 2 nd stay , they allowed a late checkout by 2 hrs. The bathroom plumbing could be improved. Decent breakfast. Stayed twice and will stay again. The bus station is less than 10 minutes walk.

This hotel was very nice and clean. I also got a great deal.The room was very comfortable and everything was in great working order. The location of the hotel was also great because it was within easy walking distance of the main street with restaurants and banks as well as close to the bus station. You will really enjoy your stay here!

The good and the bad
I tried for two days to contact them by phone and email. Twice they hung up after picking up the phone and others it just rung out. Email was never responded to. Then they wrote to me saying you are staying soon do you need a shuttle from the airport . I said yes have them full details. Arrived and no one. Tried ringing they hung up. Git delayed one hour whilst I arranged a bus. Finally got there room was good, clean, breakfast was generous. Tv didn't work I forgot to tell them.

We were on the back side of the building which faced a venue with loud live music being played until 2am a hundred meters or so away. Although that is not the properties fault be aware if you are staying on the weekend. Better soundproofing is needed for these rooms on the backside.
We had a 6am wakeup call and earplugs and white noise could not solve the noise issue.
