Stayed in room 24 which faces the afternoon sun. It's already autumn but the room got so hot in the afternoon that we had to open the window to let in the cool autumm air. Unfortunately, the houseflies flew in too! We spent the next 2 days getting rid of the houseflies. I think we killed at least 6 of them. Cannot imagine what it's like to be staying in that room in summer. On the other hand, breakfast was good - their alfajores were fantastic. Location - on San Martin avenue and close to the start of the main hikes such as laguna del tres, laguna capri and chorillo de salto. There are 2 cosy sitting areas in the lobby (good to hang out in to get away from the hot room). Complimentary coffee and lemon infused water was a nice touch too.

Great stay!

We had a great stay. The hotel itself looks very nice and the room is very clean. The bed was comfortable. There was a mini fridge, safe, and a kettle with cups and teabags to make tea. Breakfast was plentiful and with good choices. Both Karina and Oriana were very helpful. And the rest of the staff are friendly. Location is amazing. Near restaurants, a supermarket, and close to the start of several hikes like Laguna De Los Tres. Would not hesitate to recommend.

Nice little hotel, and they bent over backwards to provide a gluten free breakfast for my husband. My only issue was that our lovely Room 16 had a view into the most awful mess, someone that appeared to be living in a container on the edge of the property, with tools and ladders everywhere. A simple fence would block this unsightliness for Room 16 guests. Otherwise the room was lovely.

This was a great stay. Super clean, staff was outstanding and the day started with a top notch breakfast. Best coffee of our trip! The location was ideal for hiking and enjoying pubs and restaurants. Rooms are a bit tired and lounge furniture pretty lumpy… Would have been lovely to have a bit of outdoor seating to enjoy the views. But the upsides are of great value. Would stay again! Wonderful staff!!

This is the place :)

I had an amazing stay at Poincenot! All the hosts were incredibly welcoming and the accommodation exceeded expectations. The location was convenient, with easy access to “El Sendero al Fitz Roy”. Also, the cleanliness was top-notch, the breakfast and the amenities provided added extra comfort. I highly recommend it. I will never forget that one of the girls from the front desk (I’m sorry I don’t recall your name) lent me a pair of trekking poles. I wouldn’t have made it without them.

Excellent service

After staying at the hotel for three nights with six people in three rooms, I would like to confidently give Hotel Poincenot a five-star rating. In terms of service, they were the best among the six hotels we stayed at during our 18-day trip. During check-in, Milena patiently explained all the relevant details, and she especially helped us handle a small medical incident calmly and professionally. During check-out, Rocio made a great effort to find a taxi for us, as the village is so small that available taxi drivers were rare. Breakfast starts at 7 am. When we informed them of our early departure times at 5:30 am for hiking and at 4:30 am for a sunrise expedition on another day, they asked about our preferences. We mentioned that some hot drinks would be appreciated. Surprisingly, they prepared hot coffee, hot water, and a variety of foods and fruits! The hotel is relatively new, exceptionally clean, and well-maintained. It features expansive public areas, perfect for socializing with friends or other guests, particularly when outdoor activities are limited due to the frequent weather conditions in the area. The beds are comfortable, and the Twin bed size is suitable for individuals with a small or medium body size.
Foods and drinks are available in very early morning
