    Metour.it is committed to offering travelers authentic and unforgettable experiences. As a leading trusted online travel agency, we stand out for our dedication to quality, safety and customer satisfaction. Every destination, package and service offered has been carefully selected to ensure an unparalleled travel experience. Furthermore, our expert team is always on hand to assist you at every stage of your journey, ensuring that every detail is taken care of to perfection.
  • Are the prices always the same even if the date changes?
    Prices vary based on various factors which may be seasonal, day of the week, occupancy status of the hotel, promotions, particular fairs in the city and more. The advice, to see the prices, is to enter the dates of your stay and make your own comparisons.
  • Is breakfast always included?
    No, it depends on the rate and whether the structure is organized to offer it or not. Check carefully before booking what is included and what is not and what type of service is offered.
  • Can I make special requests?
    Of course, when booking you will have a field where you can write directly to the property and make your requests. These will be evaluated by the Hotel who will respond directly to you. MeTour is not responsible in this decision-making process.
  • What types of beds will I find in the room I booked?
    The type of bed is usually specified in the room sheet. If you have any special requests or needs you can indicate them at the time of booking by writing them in the "special requests" field which will be forwarded directly to the property. In this process MeTour is not responsible.
  • What is Paga in Structural and what are Payment Pre-Authorisations?
    When you book, some facilities offer the possibility of paying directly at the facility. In these cases you will simply be asked to insert your credit (or debit) card to guarantee the booking, but without any charge. The sum will be taken from your credit card only in the cases provided for by the policies and conditions relating to your booking. In other cases, when the Partner does not adopt automatic availability and booking systems, but confirms reservations "manually", then you will be asked to insert your credit (or debit) card to guarantee the reservation, and then be directly charged at the same time as the Partner confirms the booking (within 24-48 hours). At that moment you will receive an email with the booking confirmation and payment.
  • How do I know if my card has been pre-authorized?
    By consulting your credit card balance you will see that your available balance will be temporarily reduced by the amount of your booking. In other cases and depending on the policy of your credit card circuit, you may also find an entry in the monthly summary of card movements: "pending operation". The pre-authorization block, depending on the situation, will be maintained according to the policies and terms and conditions of what has been booked.
  • How can I cancel or change my booking?
    Easy, enter the customer area with your credentials and from there you can modify or cancel your booking. Remember that changing dates or canceling with a refund request depends on the rate you chose when booking.
  • Can I transfer my reservation to another person?
    For this request, contact the property directly which may have a specific policy in this regard or may need further data on the person to whom you want to transfer the booking.
  • How can I get help with my booking?
    Enter the customer area with your credentials and from there you can contact us or by writing through our contact form specifying your booking number and the reason for the contact request. We recommend that you also leave a telephone number where you can be reached in case of need.
  • Are there taxes, local charges or extras to be paid directly on site?
    They are normally clearly indicated in the property sheet or added during the booking phase depending on local regulations or the facility's policies. But even if not clearly indicated, payments may be requested directly to the facility for any tourist taxes, local charges or extras not included in the rate. The advice is to read everything carefully before booking or writing to us through our contact form.
  • Are small pets allowed?
    It is often clearly stated in the property sheet and for this reason we invite you to carefully read their policies. Where not indicated, we invite you to contact us through our contact form for more information.

Hotel sencillo pero confortable
El hotel es muy sencillo pero confortable. Los recepcionistas son muy gentiles y colaboradores.
Tiene una ubicación privilegiada y tiene cocina en el lobby asi que por alli si buscas ahorrar es muy buena opción.

Muy bueno
La habitación sencilla, limpia tenia cesto de basura, estufa y enchufes, el wifi llegaba bien. La vista desde la habitación y el hostel en general espectacular. Tiene una terraza muy linda y el desayuno sencillo pero completo. La cocina también completa, tiene microondas y horno eléctrico. Se puede entrar y salir las 24hs, Se encuentra a una cuadra de la avenida por donde pasa el colectivo 20 que te lleva a la mayoría de los puntos turísticos, esta a 7 cuadras de la parada del colectivo que te llevo al aeropuerto de Bariloche, a 2 cuadras de la playita y el Centro cívico.

Buena ubicación. Cómodo. Se puede disfrutar de una estadía privada y tranquila en pareja, solo o con amigos.
Vista inmejorable. La cercanía al centro también es buena, pero las calles son con mucha pendiente, si lo que se elige es caminar y no se está medianamente en buen estado físico, no es la mejor opción. El lugar en sí es lindo y cómodo, pero creo que podrían mejorar la limpieza en el exterior y los detalles de las paredes como remiendos en los marcos de las puertas o espacios de artefactos de baño o faltantes de ceramicas (es un detalle, "hilando fino" pero no modifica para nada la comodidad), la habitación la mantuvieron impecable las 4 noches que estuve. El desayuno también estuvo bueno, con una vista inmejorable al lago al igual que la terraza (super cómoda y accesible). El personal de recepción muy atento, amable y claro al comentar las condiciones del hostel. Volvería a ir.

Hermoso!!
Es mi hostel favorito junto con Berkana. Divino. Tiene una terraza preciosa con vistas al lago. La habitación espaciosa y perfumada. Muy buena ubicación. Los chicos de la recepción muy copados. Desayuno incluido aunque bastante básico.

Horrible! Lo peor de Bariloche!!!
Nos estafaron! Las fotos que nuestran en la web difieren totalmente de la realidad.
La atención es pésima. Reservamos una habitación doble y nos dieron un sucucho con una cucheta. Pasaban caños de agua por la habitación, el olor a gas nos obligaba a dormir con la ventana abierta, y jamás nos solucionaron nada desde el hotel. Tuvimos que irnos un día antes de lo desastrozo que era todo. Pedimos la devolución del dinero y nunca nos dieron repsuesta!!! No vayan Nunca....hay mejores opciones por ese precio en Bariloche! No se arruinen las vacaciones!

Everything was fine, breakfast, helpfull staff, location, good bed, internet only works well in communal area but even that is not really a problem... overall I would recommand this hostel. Maybe just for a night or 2

Acceuil plus que limite et prestations faibles pour un prix standard d''hôtel
Accueil pas très sympathique.
Prix chambre pour 2,identique à d'autres hôtels de Bariloche.
Petit déjeuner très sobre.
Le seul avantage si on accepte de faire la montée pour accéder à l'hôtel , c'est la vue depuis la terrasse.
Ce n'est pas parce que c'est une auberge de jeunesse qu'il faut tout accepter. Certaines sont moins chères et beaucoup plus agréables.

A pars la vue, déçue !
En effet la vue est magnifique, mais les dortoirs très sombres et le personnel tellement pas accueillant. Impossible d'avoir des infos ils nous renvoient à l'office de tourisme, on a l'impression de les déranger et discuter avec eux n'en parlons même pas.. L'ambiance n'était pas là non plus.

stay away from this hostel
It was quite bad. It seems that this hostel has many kinds of 6 bed dorms, some of them are probably inappropriate for sleeping, and they are still sold with the same price. There was a very bad service there, the room itself no containing enough lockers or space for 6 people. The bathroom inside was not clean, and the door cannot be locked, so it was very inconvenient to stay there. Also the reception service was horrible, as they were unable to find my reservation not at checkin or checkout.

Felt undervalued and powerless. with no view although we had booked and paid for this hotel.
We were sent to another hotel with no view on arrival. We had booked and paid for this hostel 3 months earlier for its view. There was no warning, apology or compensation or choice for us. We had a confirmed booking. They were still taking in other customers. Very disappointed.

nice place to stay in
nice place in an elevated area; breakfast on the terrace is just great. Pleasant people at the reception.We had 2 experiences : first one with a room really small and without any outside window: not really nice. Second was very pleasant, with view on the lake. Everybody is nice and helpful.

Bon rapport qualité prix
L auberge est très bien située, en centre ville. Le personnel est acceuillant. Le petit déjeuner est sommaire et la douche étroite mais pour le prix, c'est convenable. Mention spéciale pour la vue sur le lac!!!!

Mitigé
Avis très mitigé. L'accueil n'est pas chaleureux. Quand on demande le prix de la chambre pour paiement en liquide ils nous annoncent un prix qui ne change pas si on paie par carte les 21% de rabais ne sont pas effectué. Le petit déjeuner est bien. Niveau propreté c'est pas tout à fait ça.

Super Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis
Das WiFi ist zwar eher schlecht und funktionierte im Zimmer gar nicht, aber ansonsten sehr empfehlenswert. Die Zimmer sind ausreichend gross dass keine Enge entsteht mit dem Gepäck, nüchtern eingerichtet aber sauber. Handtücher gegen Kaution, wunderbare Aussicht von der Terrasse, recht ordentliches Frühstück (Buffet).

Bonne auberge
Bon accueil. Auberge située non loin du centre, 5min à pieds. Très belle terrasse extérieure avec une une belle vue.
Chambre un peu petite. SDB ok. Petit déjeuner correct.
18€ par nuit pour 2 en chambre privée.

Hostel der Spitzenklasse
Der Ausblick ist für ein Hostel natürlich atemberaubend, aber auch alle übrigen Services haben seeehr überzeugt!! Der Preis war Mitte März mit ca 220pesos pp im 4erZimmer mit jeweils eigenem Bad unschlagbar! Hauptsaison natürlich teurer, aber angebracht! Es passte einfach alles, ausreichend Frühstück, sehr sauber gut ausgestattete Küche und die Terrasse ist natürlich das Nonplusultra! Wir hatten auch ein bisschen Glück mit dem Wetter, aber nicht zuletzt dank diesem Hostel haben wir unseren Aufenthalt in Bariloche verlängert! Bei gutem Wetter auf der Terrasse ausspannen, da fühlt man sich gleich im siebten Himmel, dem man da auch recht nahe ist.. Sonnencreme nicht vergessen ;-) da spielt auch das mittelmässige Wifi gar keine Rolle. Auf jeden Fall sehr empfehlenswert! Ausprobieren eine Pflicht!

un ostello come si deve
ben organizzato, in ottima posizione, con i ragazzi della reception che sono molto disponibili a darvi qualsiasi consiglio. Abbiamo avuto la fortuna di aver prenotato una letto in camera da 4 donne invece ci hanno dato una camera doppia privata. Il wifi funziona, hanno anche due computer in reception a disposizione. La colazione è compresa, per la cena che è gratis purchè si consumi una bevanda al bar ci si deve iscrivere, e molto semplice con un solo piatto ma è cucinata dai ragazzi dell'ostello che per altro sono di varie nazionalità.

Bella posizione ma sporco
Questo ostello è in una bellissima posizione con vista lago! La sala comune e la colazione sono ottime ma è tutta apparenza infatti le camerate sono sporche, i bagni peggio con i sanitari rotti e perdite di acqua per tutta la notte che non ti fanno dormire.la cena gratis non è altro che un piatto di lenticchie cotte.

Ottima soluzione!
Abbiamo soggiornato qui 3 notti! Posto molto bello con vista panoramica, ottimo servizio informazioni, assistenza da parte del personale, camere molto grandi e spaziose, ottima colazione. C'è anche la possibilità di cucinare in una grande cucina completa.
Grazie!

Ostello in terrazza
L'ostello si trova vicino al centro della città, alla fine di una salita, adiacente a un paio di chioschi.
Per entrare (il citofono non funziona) bisogna salire la scalinata che porta all'ultimo piano, dove si trova la hall ed una splendida terrazza, dove poter ammirare il lago.
Sullo stesso piano si può trovare la cucina in comune, una sala TV, e il wifi che nelle camere non prendeva.
Le varie camere sono dislocate ai piani inferiori e adiacente alla reception.
La nostra stanza era un dormitorio di 6 letti a castello (non esiste scaletta per la salita) con il bagno in comune e armadietti con il lucchetto.
Colazione sufficiente e pulizia decorosa...

Ottimo ostello
Nonostante l'assurda scalinata che si deve scalare rimane un ottimo ostello! La reception é stata di una gentilezza squisita le camerate sono discrete e con bagno in camera (compartido con i 6-8 ma meglio di niente). Lo spazio comune é amplio. Colazione buona abbondante.

schönes Blick - mäßige Zimmer
Das Hostel liegt wirklich wunderschön oberhalb der Stadt und hat man einen wahnsinig tollen Ausblick. Es gibt eine große Dachterrasse auf der sogar kostenlose Joga-Stunden angeboten werden.
Das Frühstück ist im Preis eingeschlossen und ein typisch argentinisches Frühstück.
Wir haben uns in unserem Zimmer nicht so wohl gefühlt, aber dafür in den Gemeinschaftsräumen. Das Personal ist sehr nett & hilfsbereit.

Von dem Hostel kann man sehr bequem ins Zentrum laufen oder einfach den Abend auf der Terrasse ausklingen lassen.
