Parry Hotel

Excellent place. The pool is perfect for a refreshing dip at the end of the day. I'll definitely be back!

The hotel is generally very good, even better than the rest of the hotels in Puerto Madryn. In my opinion, there's a lot of room for improvement, such as the breakfast, which is basic to bad. For example, the only savory option was sliced bread, like Bimbo brand, for toast, but it was too thin, and when toasted, it looked more like a sheet of bread than actual bread. There were no savory croissants, no pastries, nothing. Everything else was sweet: a few croissants and two or three small cakes. The ham was very poor quality, probably shoulder ham, and not very good at that. The sliced cheese was average. The spreadable cheese was fine. The coffee machine didn't have a "tear" option, so I had to have coffee with milk, which I personally don't like. But that's just my preference; there were many options, just not the one I prefer. I understand that hotels are increasingly cutting back on breakfast; they should bring back continental or American-style breakfasts. It's because of things like this that I usually stay without breakfast, but this time I had no choice. I also want to point out that the breakfast area is the lobby, which I find inconvenient. I've had this happen at other new hotels; it seems they no longer have a dedicated breakfast room. The problem is that if the hotel is full and everyone goes down to breakfast at the same time, many will have to stand or wait for others to finish and leave because it's such a small space. I prefer traditional breakfast areas with tables and chairs. Another thing they should improve is installing solar control film on the room windows because when the sun is out, they become like ovens. Personally, I didn't find the experience comfortable without staff. I prefer a traditional hotel. I was intrigued to try it, but without staff, if you arrive and have trouble getting in, you could spend quite a while trying to enter the hotel. There's also no receptionist to ask basic questions like where to eat or what there is to do. But it's geared towards a different clientele, and I think that's a good option. It's not for me, and I assume not for older people either. I do want to mention that I ran into one of the owners twice, and he was really friendly. Very important: the hotel doesn't have an elevator, so if you get a room on the second floor like I did, try to pack light because you'll have to carry your luggage up the stairs. Remember that there's no staff to assist you upon arrival or departure. There's also no parking garage. If you're traveling by car, you have to leave it on the street, but the city is very safe, and there's always parking available on the block. Regarding the rooms, since there's no bar or room service in the hotel, a mini-fridge with supplies would be convenient. Also, there aren't enough outlets on the nightstands. There's a 4-port USB hub on the desk, far from the bed. Luckily, I have a 3-meter cable to charge my phone. Otherwise, you have to leave it charging on the desk. The TV doesn't have cable, so it's practically the same as not having one at all. And something very important: when we arrived, they had thrown away a horrible air freshener in the room. It was clearly cheap and of poor quality. I never understood why people tend to throw away those awful aerosols when they clean. I had to open the windows and leave them open all afternoon for it to dissipate. It's not necessary to throw away those air fresheners; in fact, it's counterproductive. Now let's get to the good stuff, because it definitely has some good points, and that's what makes staying here worthwhile. The location is excellent, very close to everything and perfect for avoiding the hustle and bustle. It's very easy to reach from any avenue. The view is truly outstanding and makes all the difference. You can see the entire sea. It's extraordinary, one of the best views I've had in over 400 hotels I've stayed in. It's a pleasure to wake up every morning and look out the window. The room was very comfortable, spacious, perfectly clean, and the bathroom was also very nice. The shower is excellent.

The hotel is beautiful. Room 26 is lovely. It's on the second floor, accessible by stairs. There's no elevator. The bed is sublime. The mattress and pillows are very comfortable. The shower is fantastic! The view from the side balcony is beautiful. The breakfast is good. The pool is small but lovely. It's at a very pleasant temperature. The employee assisting with breakfast is so kind. I wish there was a way to heat the water for my mate. Although there's a hot/cold water dispenser, the temperature isn't right for that infusion.
