We are accustomed to staying at hotels with an AAA four diamond hotel rating and although Villa Huinid doesn’t have a AAA rating, it can certainly live up to the AAA four diamond standard with regard to the cleanliness and quality of e.g. the reception area, rooms, bathrooms and beds.
Our 30 sq/mt room (on the third level) which had a king size bed, a jacuzzi, and a bathtub with hydromassage, had a beautiful view of the lake Lago Nahuel Huapi. The room of our children (age 11 and 13) which had a view to the forest (very nice plants with beautiful trees), was a little smaller, had its own (smaller) bathroom (with bathtub), two single/twin beds and was interconnected with our room through a small “hallway” as we were staying at the far left side of the hotel. I think that only the rooms at the far left side of the hotel are connected through a small “hallway” as our room didn’t have a connecting door. However, the corridor between the Lago rooms and the Bosque rooms is approx. 4 to 5 feet wide and the hotel is not that big (which is good as you children will not get lost easily), so not having a small “hallway” to connect these (opposite) rooms may not be such a setback.
With regard to breakfast-dinner (no lunch is served at the Huinid), Intercontinental Hotel and JW Marriot Miami e.g. have a better quality. If I had to give them both a grade, Intercontinental Hotel and JW Marriot Miami would receive an A - and Huinid a C+.
Down town is approx. a 5 minute drive (approx. 5 argentine pesos for a taxi) from the hotel and Cerro Cathedral is approx. 25 minutes drive away (approx. 25 pesos for a taxi). Clothes (incl. snow boots) for Cerro Cathedral (temperature at that time -5° Celsius) can be rented relatively cheap at different shops in downtown.
Overall I would say this is a very good hotel to stay in. Perhaps not the most convenient if you want to stay directly in down town and except for the indoor swimming pool no other (worth mentioning) amenities for the children, but if you’re planning trips to the various attractions outside the city center, then it has a convenient location.
