Village Catedral Hotel & Spa

Didnt know Bariloche, and it was pure luck.
It is located 25 kms (40 min in a bus) from Bariloche, but 200 mts ( 400yds) from the sky station.
Since my goal was snow, sky and such, it was just a great place.
I know, it is OLD, and need some work to be done, it also makes it mor like a nice cabin in the winter.
Service from the hotel was excelent.
There is a store accross the street to buy some food, a couple of restaurants, and a bus service each hour to go downtown.

Ich war im Februarar mit meiner Familie in diesem Hotel. Es war grausam. Ich war müde weil ich ich vorhin 5:30 stunden gefahren bin. Die Leute an der Rezeption waren völlig unprofessionell und sie gaben uns ein Zimmer im 10 Stock. Es gab kein Lift also mussten wir mit der Treppe Laufen. Das Zimmer für6/8 Personen (wir waren 4) war scheusslich. Es gab 2 sehr kleine Stöcke. Im oberen Stock war ein Schrank der Voll mit dreck war. Alles war mega dreckig. Ich konnte überhaupt keine Nacht Schlafen.
Diese 4 Nächte hatten sich angefühlt 4Jahre.
Wir werden ganz klar nie wieder gehen

We went last year in July with my family, my husband and 2 kids 9 and 12. We were in a DUPLEX APARTMENT UP TO 6/8 PEOPLE, it was TERRIBLE!
I am not going to extend my comment, I just going to recommend:
DO NOT GO!
It is dirty, old, uncomfortable, people at the front desk are completely unprofessional and on the top of this, is very expensive.
If this comment is not very convincing you can see my pictures.

although we left our ski equpment in Chile, we will DEF be back next yr and book earlier!

The apartments are self catering, very comfy beds and management is very friendly and helpful.

We are staying in a "2" sleeper, however there are 2 extra beds - the place is very nicely furnished, with fresh towels daily and fantastic views! Close to all the amenities!

Thank you for your opinion.
It is very useful for people who are interested in staying with us, and for us, to be informed about the guest experience and to improve day by day .
Hoping to receive soon.
Sincerely,

This hotel is located on the street that gives access to Cerro Catedral, so for those planning on skiing everyday, it is just a perfect location. Everyday, during the 10minutes walk to Cerro Catedral, we would see a line of cars waiting to get to the parking lot... and we were so much faster walking!
We arrived just after a big snowstorm, there were 2ft of snow all around, but we were able to get to the hotel on the van (for some other hotels we saw people pulling their bags on the street, I believe the access to those hotels were closed to traffic, but as Village Catedral is on the main street, it was open!).
The hotel is old, and would benefit from some renewals (the beds and mattresses were pretty old, but linens were new, the fridge was noisy and towels could be newer), but our room was big and comfortable. The floor is heated, which was very good for walking barefoot after a day of skiing.
Just note that the reception, the restaurant and the spa are all in separate buildings, so getting from one to another requires to walk on the snow. It does make going to the spa a bit of a hustle... but it was a great experience for the kids to leave the room and be right on the snow!
Staff was very helpful and kind. Breakfast had a lot of options on the buffet and you could order some extras. We had dinner only once there, it was okay. Just across the street there is a small convenience store where we would stop everyday to buy water, some "empanadas" for dinner, and some snacks for the kids.
Overall it was a very good stay, maybe a little overpriced, but it was ski high season and the hotel really has a fantastic location, so I guess it paid out!

La struttura ha un hotel e delle camere-appartamento, con cucina.
Noi siamo stati in una camera-appartamento di circa 60m2: ben ammobiliata, con camera matrimoniale provvista anche di una vasca idromassaggio con vista sulle piste.
La cucina è grande, frigo compreso, con tutti gli utensili minimi indispensabili; 2 bagni e un salotto con due divani letto (singoli) e un televisore.
In generale, la qualità della struttura è buona, si vede che il palazzo è seminuovo.
Buona l'insonorizzazione delle camere; acqua potabile in bidoni da 12 L fornita compresa nel prezzo (almeno il primo bidone, poi si pagano).
Ottiima la pulizia giornaliera.
La palazzina è fornita di due ascensori, anche se piccoli per gente che si muove con valigie e vestiti invernali.
Unico neo la disposizione della palazzina rispetto ai locali della SPA e del ristorante: non ci sono passaggi interni ma bisogna uscire e poi rientrare.
Andrebbe più curata l'area antistante l'hotel e le altre palazzine, perché è solo terra e sassi e d'inverno si trasforma in fango facilmente.
Buona l'area spa, con sauna (da prenotare però) e vasca idromassaggio riscaldata. piccola l'area gym.
Molto buona la colazione a buffet, soprattutto per quel che riguarda la parte dei dolci.
una settimana ci è costata 24.000 pesos (4 persone più bèbè), colazione inclusa.
A 300 metri dagli impianti di risalita; a 50 metri dall'unico mini supermercato della base catedral.

We were last summer in Village Catedral and had a very good experience. The appartment was comfortable and clean for my family of six, but it only had one bathroom (but we knew it when we booked it). The recreational activities were really fun: treaking, country day in the lake, treaking at night including traditional meals (the best!), activities for children. There were only some organizational details that we suffered when we went to Steffen lake (a paradise!), but the people were always helpful, and compensate for the inconvenience. The breakfast was buffet type, and it was really good!
