Older property with limited food options on site. Not much parking. Staff is great, loved the piano bar in the evenings.

Pleasant
Unfortunately the room I was in was located near a staff access lift, and in the mornings the noise made it very difficult to sleep. This is a 1950's era hotel, which like most hotels in Argentina, is kept very clean, but suffering some neglect from this countries failing economy. Curtains, furnishing, etc, are all aged. My room did not have a fridge or in room adjustable airconditioning. It did have a nice balcony. But the staff were very friendly and it has a great central location. For the price it was fine.

Nice hotel en el centro de la ciudad
This old hotel was built around 1960 . And still maintains its old charm of oak handkerchief panels. Leather chairs and sofas. Breakfast is sumptuous with an assortment of croissants, pies (coconut, pear, pastafrola, etc) plus fruits, and juices. For the moment there is no wifi but if you care for the unique experience. It is a must. Most of the clientele are locals.

Poor maintenance
Old hotel with very low maintenance, specially to the bathroom. The toilet seat was old to a point that the wood structure could be seen. The bath tube edges with the wall had black spots like fungus. I used my sandals for taking shower. I had to change rooms as the first one was so noise that I slept only 4 hours. The second one was better but when I tried to rise the external curtain, the pulling belt failed. I had to stay in complete dark. In the dinning room you can see a black stain in the coffe kettle as it had never been replaced.

This is not really a tourist destination. More of a business town. A stop over from Puerto Madryn to Buenos Aires, but in a comfortable hotel.

A perfect home away from home
I grew up in this town and had to travel for family matters, and needed to stay in an hotel. I felt being cared for, all my needs where taken care, the food... oh my God!!! The food is so incredible excellent. Staff is very friendly and ready to solve any issue to comes across. If I ever go back, I plan to stay there again. Location is also super-convenient!!!

We stayed at the austral hotel for only one night as it was a stop over on the way to Puerto matryn. We were on the 5th floor and found out Internet was a little slow in our bedroom however if we sat in the lift area on the 5th floor the Internet was great. Overall everything was great and would definitely stay there again.

Hotel Austral Bahia Blanca Argentina
I think the hotel is a 3-star tending on 4, a little older but still very good. The restaurant is decent and a great convenience, laundry excellent. The lobby is lovely, a great place for a cocktail, reading free paper, etc. Breakfast good but could be better. Personnel attentive.

An old but comfortable hotel.
This hotel looks as if it was built around 1920, and its facilities aren't the most modern. (E.g., the elevator has two doors that you have to pull open.) Also, the air conditioning can't be regulated in each individual room. It only works if the receptionist turns it on for the whole hotel. On the other hand, the personnel are very helpful. My car had a flat tire when I arrived, and I asked the receptionist where there was a garage that I could take it to for changing. A bellhop, Raul, overheard our conversation and said he could probably change it himself, which he then proceeded to do. Yesterday, six days after leaving, I realized I had left behind a roll of film with 24 photos on it. So today I called the hotel and asked if it had been turned in. The receptionist remembered me, said he had the roll in his desk, and would mail it out tomorrow. This kind of service more than compensates for the hotel's lack of modern amenities. Also, the hotel's restaurant has a good menu at reasonable prices.

El desayuno con demasiados dulce panificados. Falta poner más tostadoras de pan rápidas. El café una vez estuvo muy negro, casi quemado. No fue rápida su reposición. Podrían poner también más frutas y huevos revueltos. No me gustó que cuando reservé no me dijeran que no había estacionamiento libre, si bien, entendí por el fin de semana largo

Estimado José; agradecemos que nos haya elegido; es oportuno poder aclararle que los cargos que efectúa Hoteles com no los efectúa el Hotel Austral sino la empresa que administra la página de Hoteles com quiénes cobran las reservas que las personas realizan a través de su página. Por tal motivo, recomendamos se comunique con el Servicio de Atención al Cliente de Hoteles com para efectuarles el reclamo y evitar costos mayores

Ikke i overensstemmelse med beskrivelsen
Vi rejste i starten af marts og enten har hotellet ændret karakter siden billederne og beskrivelsen blev lavet, eller også var vi bare MEGET uheldige. Vi fik et værelse på 5. sal, hvor airconditionanlægget var et hul i væggen, et tv, hvor ingen kanaler var skarpe, tapetet, som var ved at falde af og en morgenmad, som bestod af nogle tørre croissanter, vandet yoghurt og nogle kager. Personalet var venlige og forsøgte at gøre det bedste.

Bloqueen esas habitaciones tan viejas!
La habitación que nos toco es un desastre no solo por el estado general (ventana del baño rota, camas inestables, aparato de aire acondicionado viejo que hace un ruido insoportable, entra aire de la calle por lo costados de este aparato, etc) sino porque da a unos equipos que hacen ruido toooooda la noche

Estimada Sra. Flavia, Agradecemos su comentario y lamentamos mucho que en esta oportunidad haya tenido una estancia tan desafortunada. Nuestro hotel tiene 66 años de servicio y contamos con 108 habitaciones, si bien ya comenzamos la tarea de renovar los cuartos y sabemos que aún nos queda trabajo por hacer, ofrecerle una habitación como la que describió no es la forma en que queremos trabajar. Conforme conversamos por telefono tendremos el agrado de contar nuevamente con su presencia en unos días confiando que esta vez podrá disfrutar de su estancia.
