Lirolay Apartments

Many thanks to Alejandro and Augustin, and the wonderful people at the Lirolay Suites in Bariloche! I couldn't have wished for a more wonderful first visit, both to Argentina, and to San Carlos de Bariloche. From the moment I arrived, I was swept away by the captivating beauty of the majestic Andes mountains, and the pristine waters of Nahuel Haupi. When I first arrived, Alejandro was very kind and informative, helping me with my luggage, and offering me fresh baked treats and juice, while informing me of the many things I could experience, both in town, and the beautiful natural surroundings nearby. My cozy suite, complete with an ornate old world brass key, was plush and comfortable, including a fully stocked kitchen, living room with pretty lake views, and a bathroom complete with a jacuzzi tub, rainfall shower, and even a french bedit. Rustic charm with every amenity. The Lirolay, itself, feels like a place right out of a fairy tale, adorned with hand carved cedar and slate, inviting you to enjoy sweeping views of the mountains and lake beyond. Later, during my stay, on a day when the winds and rain changed my hiking plans, Agustin was there to provide me with room service, that made for a nice relaxing afternoon indoors. Everyone at the Lirolay was so kind, including the lovely cat that lounges inside the office and would greet me home after a long day out exploring! I've heard tale, that he is secretly the boss. *wink* Bariloche has so much to offer, with its many amazing restaurants, and its world famous chocolates and ice cream, to hiking to see the cinnamon colored Arrayanes trees, and sharing some delicious roadside empanadas with a crested caracara in the park. I think it may have been said best, when a local mentioned to me, "It feels like being in another world." Bariloche truly is a magical and awe inspiring place that will take your breath away. I recommend the Lirolay to anyone wanting to experience the very best of what Bariloche has to offer. The incredible caring of the managers and relaxing ambiance it provides during your stay are second to none.

My husband and I found the Lirolay to be a perfect home-base for our trip to Bariloche. The staff were all so friendly, spoke perfect English, and were very hospitable and friendly. Our room had everything you'd expect and the bed was SO comfortable. The location was quiet, close to the center but not in the hustle of things, and it was an easy drive to the mountain activities. But, the view, THE SPECTACULAR VIEW is what you stay for. We would definitely go back!

We booked Lirolay Suites hotel based on the photographs of the property, the view and the unbelievably positive feedback on staff. My wife was totally blown away with the location and the views from our room and the jacuzzi.  The suite was lovely, the bed comfortable,  kitchen had more than everything we needed and Wi-Fi was reasonably good. The staff Alexjandro and Jose could not do enough for us. From ordering takeaways, booking our bus tickets to San Martin de los Andes to orgsnising tours and the numerous requests we had for our suite. They have an agreement with a driver Gustavo who is very reasonable for a 3 or 5hr private tour and we were so glad we used him. We opted for the light continental breakfast for all but the last day. It was fine and did the job. We would most definitely recommend this to our friends and any TripAdvisor people interested. I would strongly recommend pushing the boat out and getting a suite with a jacuzzi as it was fantastic sitting in the jacuzzi drinking a glass of bubbly while having an uninterrupted view of the lake. We would also strongly recommend Gustavo such a lovely genuine person!! We most definitely would come back.
