Galileo Boutique Hotel

The employees went above and beyond for my stay and it was literally a 5 - 10 min walk to the ski ticket counter at Cerro Catedral. Jacuzzi tub worked great the and the daily breakfast with coffee and fresh juice was always a nice way to wake up. You set the drop off time! Not to mention worked class skiing where Patagonia meets the Andes. I’ll be back for sure! La Base for rentals!!

First off, this is not ski in/ski out hotel, but it is about 1km from the base of Cerro Catedral. They have a unique service of bringing breakfast to your room at a time you pick. Breakfast was very good with eggs, pastries, spreads, and drinks. This was super nice and appreciate getting eggs that have not been sitting in a buffet for who knows how long. Our room had a full kitchen that was stocked with essentials for cooking. Room was clean and comfortable. The owner of this hotel built a large telescope (about 12-inch diameter ) for astronomy viewings, and the front desk arranged for a guided star gazing experience. This led to the inclusion of "Galileo" in the hotel name. We loved our time there and would stay there again.

The hotel was a great proximity to the ski resort, about a 5-10 minute walk. Im so glad we ended up staying walking distance to the mountain because traffic leaving the mountain from around 4-6 pm is a nightmare. The staff was accommodating, friendly, and helpful for any questions we had. Breakfast was delivered to the room every morning which consisted of coffee, juice, an assortment of pastries and spreads along with meats, cheeses, and eggs upon request. The rooms were clean and made up daily. They provide wood and matches for you to light a fire each night, as well as a jacuzzi tub. Some cons were the room is a bit dated and lacked outlets. Something I always see in more modern rooms are a usb to charge phones next to the bed on the nightstands or in the lamps, which is especially helpful if you are not from the country. This room lacked that so we had to charge our phones and devices away from the bed over night and share an adapter. The bathroom is also lacking counter space. The sink takes up the entire counter, so there is no room to put anything on the counter while getting ready. Finally, the water pressure is extremely temperamental, you have to have it exact to have comfortable water temperature. But what really knocked this visit out of the water was the observatory they have at the top of the hotel. They have an astronomer come to the hotel every couple days to do a 30 minute tour looking at the constellations. We ended up getting an hour time slot looking at all the stars and moon/ which is included in your stay. It was such a cool experience!

The staff here is fantastic. Super attentive, full of recommendations and willing to help with anything we needed. The location was convenient for our trip. The apartments comfortable with everything we needed.
