We were slightly unfortunate when we arrived in bariloche, we had booked another hostel, where upon turning up we were told the heating had broken and we would be transfered. The owner paid for the remise and sent us to Patanuk, who had not been told to expect us... Nonetheless, we got a nice welcome, but the hostel was in... More

The location by the lake and the advice from friendly female hostel worker (Kiki) were definetly the highlights of the stay She was so helpful in recommending car hire companies and places to go. I don't understand how this hostel is recommended in many of the travel guides- I'm wary... More

Due to your review, we'd like to respond carefully. We are a hostel very well located, maybe the best in Bariloche, but that's n ot our only asset. We are as Our pick on Lonely Planet not only because of this, we providea very good service. We understand we cannot make everybody happy, but we think your review it's too... More

The only good thing about the hostel is its location, because it is situated on the lake and the view is really great, but of course not from the room. Rooms are very very simple (we had a quad), which wouldn't be a problem, but bathrooms are a disaster and pretty much disgusting. The towels look like they were used... More

Having just moved from another hostel (Penthouse 1004), it was hard for Patanuk to compete. The lakefront location is almost the only good thing about this hostel. The breakfast was the other good thing. The 6 bed dorm we were in was tiny and only had 2 lockers for belongings - there were 4 other lockers out in the corridor... More

Wonderful view on the lake, very friendly staff and home-made delicious beers in the bar! I stayed there about 2 weeks and at the end I felt home. Both the dorms and the private bathroom rooms are very nice (but if you want the see view choose the dorms) and clean.

Have stayed in hundreds of hostels around the world, but this one is definitely in top 3. Fantastic location just meters from the lake, beautiful surroundings, caring and helpful staff, best hideaway local bar under the hotel (with fantastic bear and happy hour).

Bad (shabby) common areas with wet dogs everywhere! Also, I know this is a small detail but the beds weren´t made nor did they come with fitted sheets. Nor is there sufficient space for everyone to have a locker to keep things safe in the dorms. Finally, there is a bar below the hostel which could be nice but is... More
