Las Bayas — Hotel in Municipio de 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! 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...

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...

Having had an unsatisfactory experience elsewhere in Esquel, we moved to this hotel which looked pretty smart from the outside. And it was. It is a smallish boutique hotel and we stayed three nights. Lovely staff. We had a large comfortable room on the first floor. The room was well equipped with a huge triple bed, TV, desk, table and chairs ,fridge, cooker, good storage plus decent bathroom with tub and shower. There were chocolates on the table, a small mini-bar, and a safe. It was quiet at night. Very efficient laundry service.||Breakfast was excellent. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend. The only blip was that it was not really set up to serve food in the evening - perhaps we were too early in the season. Not a problem as there are good eateries nearby. We...
