| J'ai adoré l'ambiance de cette auberge, le lieu est incroyable: beaucoup d'énergie et de magnétisme, petit-déjeuner sympa et salle très accueillante, dortoir basique mais agréable et super équipe très sympa!!! L'endroit où je me suis sentie le mieux en Argentine!!! | ||

| We booked a got confirmed a 4bed dorm but in Marcopolo they only have 8 bed dorms which are not allowed with our two kids (total 4 Pers.) So we had to look for other accomodation. The same for our 2nd booking at the same place from 6th to 7th February. We were very angry about that unreliable booking system and beg you to reimbourse the deposits for the 2 nights (2 x USD 7,5) back to our VISA credit card. The Staff at the Marco Polo really was helful to us in our bad situation. Thank you. Contact: Marcel Goeldi, beamar@sunrise.ch, 0041 76 573 71 10 | ||

| Second stay there...and i enjoyed. One small improvement would be for the staff to have more information about what to do and time schedule of trips proposed.
Breakfast also could be more natural, not everything fat or full of sugar. Simple muesly and not cornflakes with sugar for example. | ||

| Staff helpful. Directions to hostel received from booking email confirmation not very clear!! Hotel is a little tired and could benefit from some maintenance. For example my hairdryer did not work and the security chain on my door was broken so I could not use it. The chain was not even there and the there were just holes left in the wall where the chain had been. Instructions for safe also unclear.

| It is well furnished and well maintained. The bathroom was exceptionally good. The room was hot, but the staff said that they couldn't do anything about it; it was automatically controlled. We had to open a window. When I was there, it wasn't a lively place. On the other hand, it was quiet and I slept well. | ||

| Some lockers in the rooms would be useful and a kitchen would be handy. Otherwise good. | ||
