“Best Hotel in Esquel”

Las Bayas is right in the center of town but is still quiet at night which is important to me. It also had a HUGE comfy bed with excellent bedding and good pillows!

Las Bayas is right in the center of town but is still quiet at night which is important to me. It also had a HUGE comfy bed with excellent bedding and good pillows! The shower had great pressure and plentiful hot water - quietness, bed and shower are the 3 most important attributes of a good hotel as far as I am concerned. The breakfast was excellent and the in-house restaurant was superb with a very imaginative menu. The dining room is combined with the main lobby area and was very cosy. Plus there is a lovely porch just outside where you can have an excellent (both in terms of quality and price) glass of wine while enjoying the cool night air on a very comfortable couch. The hotel is walking distance from many amenities including the Train station for those who want to experience the Old Patagonian Express (which we did and loved it). Best of all was the staff: Kata in particular was incredibly helpful when we had a snafu with the delivery of our Hertz (ugh) rental car. She speaks great English and all the staff speak enough to be effectively helpful. They were all wonderfully welcoming and contributed to a lovely stay in a very reasonably priced boutique hotel that I would heartily recommend to travelers who want low key and comfortable accommodations. I cannot say enough good things about Las Bayas and would love to stay there again some day!

I just left Las Bayas yesterday morning after several days to hike in Los Alerces National Park. The staff were warm and welcoming, helpful and accommodating. The hotel is in a great location in the center of Esquel. Easy access to shops, banks, kioscos, restaurants, grocery stores, etc. very walkable. East to get to the park too (if you have a car). My room was huge. Quiet. Bathroom had a jacuzzi tub. Staff arranged massage in my room. The food was good. I arrived in the late afternoon and was. Rey hungry. They made me a veggie pizza around 5:30, far earlier then typical Argentine dinner hours. The breakfast buffet was good and they’d make eggs if you asked. They do have safes I’d the rooms but the one in my room was very small - too small for a laptop. The Wi-Fi was good and it was lovely to sit on the front patio on the late afternoon/early evening. If I returned to Esquel, I would definitely stay at Las Bayas again. Note that a few of the staff speak some or a good bit of English, if you don’t speak Spanish.

“Pleasantly surprised”

We stayed here one night on our way to Bariloche. The hotel room was very large and clean. The wifi was reasonable but not fast. The king bed was huge and comfortable. Even though the hotel is on a busy street the Streep noise was not evident. The breakfast was very good even though there was no eg… more

We stayed here one night on our way to Bariloche. The hotel room was very large and clean. The wifi was reasonable but not fast. The king bed was huge and comfortable. Even though the hotel is on a busy street the Streep noise was not evident. The breakfast was very good even though there was no egg’s available. The yogurt was Home made and delicious along with the fruit salad, breads and granola.

“Nice Hotel, but bring your earplugs.”

This is a nicely designed Hotel in the middle of town. I would rate it excellent, was it not for several drawbacks: noisy surroundings due to traffic and nightlife, also little or no noise insulation between rooms and you can hear your neighbors very clearly. Another problem is the massive perfume … more

This is a nicely designed Hotel in the middle of town. I would rate it excellent, was it not for several drawbacks: noisy surroundings due to traffic and nightlife, also little or no noise insulation between rooms and you can hear your neighbors very clearly. Another problem is the massive perfume smell (probably due to automatic scent dispensers) which penetrates the whole hotel and especially the rooms.
