5 Stars Hotels in Rio Negro, Argentina

When I went to make a reservation at the Llao Llao, I could have easly chosen a more expensive room in the newer Moreno wing. But the hotel website made it look as if the older Bustillo rooms had the same nice lake view as the Moreno rooms, so it didn't seem worth the extra price. But the room that we were given, on the fourth floor of the Bustillo building, was small, dark and extrmely depressing, with a tiny view of the lake through a dormer window that one could only see standing up. As it rained for most of our stay, we had no choice but to spend a lot of time in the room, which was really dismal. The bathroom was also particularly ancient, and the bed was not comfortable. The location of the Llao Llao is certainly dramatic, and the indoor/outdoor pool in particular is wonderful. I'm sure that the hotel is a lot nicer in good weather. But it's inconceivable that this could be considered a five-star hotel, considering the dreary state of the room that we were given.

I stayed for 3 nights and was very happy with the stay. I had a classic standard room which was large and exactly as per the photos. A very comfortable king bed, and amenities including an in room safe, fridge and flat screen tv although nearly all the channels were in Spanish. There was no tea or coffee in the room but there was always the Mitico bar / lounge on the first floor with incredible views across the lake and a good menu for light snacks and drinks all very reasonably priced. Unfortunately my room wasn’t ready when I arrived until 15:00, but I was given a drinks voucher whilst I waited which was a nice touch. The breakfast was good with all the standard options including scrambled eggs. I didn’t have chance to use the spa but the pool looked nice, again with that incredible view. The hotel is well located with only a 10 minute walk to centre Civico where there is a tourist information centre who were really helpful with good suggestions for day trips and bus information. On my first day I did the circuito Chico which was a 10 km circular route which included climbing up Cerrito Llao Llao at 1080m for great views. On my second day I caught a 55 bus to Cerro Catedral and took the cable car followed by a 30 minute hike to reach the peak with stunning views. The only negative of my stay was that I had a connecting room with a door to the next room, and I could hear my neighbours (who were loud). Reception offered to move me to a non connecting room but they only had a twin so I declined as the king bed in the classic is very nice. Overall I had an excellent stay and would highly recommend.
