Hostel Inn Bariloche is an ultra-modern hostel with a nice location affording guests an amazing view of Lago Nahuel Huapi. There are large common areas enabling guests to socialise, watch TV, or just chill out and enjoy the views. At reception you will find plenty of information on activities to undertake during your stay in Bariloche or assistance with booking other HI Hostels for your onward travel.
The Location
The bus terminal is a few kilometers outside of Bariloche Centre. It is possible to catch a local bus from the terminal into the town centre but be warned that although the hostel is located an easy walk away from the Civic Centre, it is situated atop a fairly steep hill and there are quite a few steps to navigate once you reach the hostel in order to get to the reception area -- so if you're tired after your journey you may wish to take the easy option and take a taxi from the bus terminal for a reasonable fare.
Rooms and Bathrooms
Although a little small, the dorms are clean and comfortable and have large lockers in which to store your belongings -- remember to bring a lock though. Guests are provided with a room key, for which a deposit is required upon check-in. Most dorms have en-suite bathrooms -- they are nicely decorated but lack hooks for clothes and in-shower shelving for toiletries; the shower cubicle is somewhat small but shower gel is provided in a dispenser on the wall; there is also a liquid soap dispenser at the sink -- a nice touch. The hostel does offer private rooms for higher rates if desired.
Common Spaces
There are a few large common areas for guests to use. Next to the reception area is a TV with sofa seating and there are also some long tables and chairs next to the kitchen area. Also located here are the computer terminals available for guest use at no extra charge and the hostel also provides Wi-Fi for those with laptops. The kitchen is small but clean and tidy and guests are welcome to use its facilities (fridge, microwave, gas rings, and toasters -- there is no oven). Outside, there is a small lawn and a decking area with tables and chairs. Smoking is not permitted inside the hostel, which is a good thing.
Summary
This hostel offers breakfast and dinner included in the price. In order to obtain the free dinner, guests must ask at reception for a voucher and take this along to a nearby hostel (a few minutes' walk along the road). The basic meals are served here in the bar area, making it a more social occasion and a vegetarian option is also offered if so desired. Overall, this is an extremely pleasant hostel with a nice, relaxed atmosphere. It is modern, clean, and bright with amazing views of the lake.
