Italia Inn Hostel

This was our second time in this hostel, and unfortunately it was much less enjoyable than the first time. We could only get a "twin room" this time which actually was a triple bed room. Very small, but the worse part was the bathroom, super tiny and water was going everywhere, not good ventilation so the roof was all moldy, the room was old and has stale smell of humidity. Also you could hear people through the walls, we got waken up every morning from the families with kids. The hostel is much more enjoyable on low season when families are not in, the kitchen is pretty good well equipped and big, also has a nice common area, but again if you go on high season will be crowded with families with kids. The hostel is located at 10-15min from the bus terminal and has a bus stop just in front but is 20-30mins walk from the center.

Liked: Der Außenbereich war sehr nett und gemütlich.

Disliked: The Staff had tattoos (kolovrat) wich are associated with the national socialist party and the door code is a reference to the second world war.

Liked: It's a great location to airport and walkable to the bus station. It's a place to sleep at a good price! It's clean and felt safe and we appreciated breakfast in the morning.

Disliked: It's very outdated and everything including beds and linens is worn.

Liked: The room had all that we needed and was comfortable and warm, when it was a cold day outside. It was an easy walk from the bus station (some uneven pavement makes it a bit more of a challenge with a wheeled suitcase, but manageable). There's also a local bus with a bus stop close to the hotel (mibus). That same stop is serviced by a local bus to the airport. Not too far from town, about 20-30 mins walk. Good value, we'd be happy to stay there again.

Disliked: All good! If you're travelling to Bariloche by bus, wait until you get to your hotel (like Italia Inn) and use their secure wifi. Don't use the open wifi on the bus. Cyber criminals intercepted my bank card information and used it to put a fraudelent online purchase on my card, as soon as I crossed the border from Chile to Argentina. (I emphasise, this had nothing to do with the Italia Inn. I just wanted to warn you about the wifi on the bus)

Liked: Not far from city centre, a 10 minute walk

Disliked: It needs revamping urgently. Water was leaking in the corridors, not necessarily the clean kind. We had to dodge some buckets while walking.

Liked: Nice staff and nice common spaces!

Disliked: The architecture of the bathroom was not super practical

Liked: The price was very reasonable for what we got.

Disliked: The infrastucture of the hostel could be a little better.

Liked: Good spacious room. Could leave window open for ventilation. Safe and good location between bus station and city.
