Reviews of Hostel NIX

Sadly, I completely failed to take any photos. Before arriving there was good messaging for communication. They shared tips with me about using the local bus 🚌 to visit Cerro Campanario mountain ⛰️ which was MUCH less expensive than a tour price. Payment is made by cash or bank transfer only, so be prepared 💸. As someone from the USA, getting cash in Argentina 🇦🇷 has been very difficult and expensive. I slept here just one partial night 🌙 due to an early morning flight ✈️, so I didn't use the kitchen or common areas at all. They both looked nice and comfortable. The location is good for many reasons. It is a longer walk down to the main area, but not terrible. I will recommend this as an option for people traveling behind me.

All the rooms are you two flights of stairs 📶. My situation is different, so I had a very large, heavy suitcase. The manager was kind and carried it up for me, but I had to get it back down at 5am. As a basic hostel, there was a supply of towels which was nice. No soap or shampoo in the bathroom.

The location is 1.6 km from the pier in Central Bariloche and 2 km from the bus terminal. It is a bit uphill in a quiet area of town. There is a Carrefour supermarket nearby. Facilities such as the hot shower and the beds are good. Wifi is a bit slow in the room. The kitchen area is spacious and very suitable for cooking and having a meal. The hostel is usually quiet. Guests are a pleasant mix of Argentinians and Western travellers. The manager is strict, but reasonable and an okay man.

Opening and closing the doors of and in the room is causing noise because of friction. It means you wake up whenever someone is using the bathroom or comes in or goes out. Noise in the lobby area travels up the staircase (sitting area and rooms). However, these are minor issues. Stayed 10 days!

Everything was perfect! The location is great, it's clean, calm, and Raul is the best host. He is really helpulf and very nice 😁 We recommend this place a 100%!

Big rooms, solid bunk beds. Big functional kitchen. Decent walking distance to downtown attractions

Black mould on the shower curtain and ceiling of the bathroom.

It did the job. The room was an ok size a bit smaller than we thought. Kitchen was a good size and outdoor space really nice to chill in the sun in.

Location is a bit further from the main parts of town.

We were greeted nicely upon arrival and the communal areas looked very nice with a well-equipped kitchen and space to relax

Our private room felt a bit run-down. It was lacking basic things like soap and a hand towel for the bathroom sink. The duvets looked at though they should have a cover over them

Convenient location

Bathroom musty

No plugs and no place to put stuff on the upper beds

The hostel has a good position. Possible to pay by card at the property. Warm water.

Not clean (blankets, bathroom, fridge). A small room with bunk beds with no space to put a few things, or dry a wet towel. Doable to stay for a night, but not a pleasant place to stay for a rest day - at least when we compare it to other hostels we stayed in Argentina for the same or lower price.

The kitchen had everything you needed but not enough space to move around. Be aware that you constantly need to ask someone to move. There were enough common areas - kitchen, outdoor and a couch area inside.

The owner gave me a strange vibe - that kind of Argentinian who isn't happy to have a non-spanish speaking customer. I asked him twice to extend and he refused it until I told him to do it on booking.com. He also barely smiles which gives customers a feeling of not being welcome. The room was tiny, the lockers underneath the bed weren't suitable for big luggage and the room door didn't close properly.

Big kitchen with full of equipment Clean environment Good value of money

Little distance from city centre but just 15mins walk
