Pros:

De rust was mooi. Doordat het hotel op de heuvel (maar wel dicht bij de stadskern) ligt is het zicht op lago Argentino prachtig.

Cons:

Wij zaten in de kamers beneden…die hadden geen uitzicht en lagen direct aan de straat (waar overigens nauwelijks verkeer was).

Nice place to rest after a day packed with activities
Pros:

Big room ( it was triple), big bed, rustic, very helpful and responsive staff, good view from the lobby

Cons:

The location is a bit far from the center, more than I expected when booking. But fine - it is walkable, some 15 mins uphill.

So so hotel
Pros:

La Cantera is not really a boutique hotel or a 4 * hotel. A better description would be a rustic hotel in need of some sort of renovation. The furniture show scratches that shouldn’t have been there if you considered the price for the rooms. The breakfast is ok. Enough for the morning, but still not impressive like other 4 starts places. The hotel looks clean. The staff is friendly and welcoming. Probably the best part of this hotel.
