Great place. Lots of information about activities, staff are very nice (Wally was especially great to us), big lockers for storage, and the place was very clean. Good location to downtown as well. And suprisingly, we found the free dinner to be really good- very flavorful. Enjoyed the stay very much.

There are definitely worse options at the price. The mood was a little bit flat other than at dinner time (don't be a vegetarian and you'll get a pretty reasonable meal), and the dorm bathrooms are even dirtier than normal, but its certainly worth considering this place.

Not a bad hostel, but nothing to make one say WOW either. Certainly the free dinner is a great touch if a little small and basic. Sill, it´s the only hostel that serves dinner for free along with breakfast so it´s a good thing. THe bar isn´t like most H.I. bars in that, once dinner was over, it was deserted. Definitely nothing wrong with this place but it lacks the Wow factor.

Super helpful staff... Emilio is a legend! Offer great advice and just so willing to assist! Not a huge party hostel but good bar area. Easy access to the centre of Bariloche town too... just beware, the rain, wind, ash, dust might literally knock you off your feet!

The staff were extremely helpful and organised many tours for us and gave great sound advice. The hostel is centrally located, very safe and secure. The rooms are on the small side, but perfectly acceptable and clean. I would recommend this hostel for sure! This is not a party hostel, but I had a great time.

Good hostel overall. Friendly staff. I would stay there again. The dinner is a good appetizer. I had to go out and buy something else both nights.

Its at least a 2 star hotel!!Enjoyed every second at marcopolo inn!! Dorm Rooms are big and tidy and cleaned ever day which was great.. The staff are very helpfull in introducting all the different activities.. Dont expect the free dinner to be a restaurant dish but its still decent.. During my stay in bariloche i stayed in 3 hostels and I would recommend this hostel to anyone ..

Good place to stay. The staff are very friendly, always ready to help with questions, advice and arranging activities. The free evening meal (nothing amazing but still good) was an added bonus that helped save cash and time. Hostel has a lot of services such as car rental, hostel booking, bus tickets etc. Internet on the computers was slow, and I could not get the wifi to work on my laptop....but not a big deal. Recommended

Very great and helpful staff. Nice room and cleanliness was very good. Breakfast was decent, but the free included dinner was not anything special(which you not expect when it is free), but it gets the job done.

This place really lacks character!!! Come on guys: make it more fun! It's like being in some kind of middle-high school! I really disliked the atmosphere... I'm not even talking about the free dinner: prison food or dog chow? I'm still thinking ;) Why don't you charge a few pesos and get us some decent meal?? I felt insulted!!!

Great hostel... with excellent staff. Even though the front desk lady was constantly busy, she made every effort to help and book onward accomodation and activities when asked. Highly recommended

The staff who received us, viz Luji, Wian and Andrea, were extremely helpful and efficient. Luji helped us to book the accommodation and transport for the next two stops. This saved us a lot of time, allowing us to maximize our time for enjoyment of the trip. We highly recommend Marcopolo Inn to anyone who visits Bariloche.

The free dinner is a big selling card. Thats the reason why myself and most other travellers stayed there. It was decent but perhaps something other than pasta! The staff were always friendly. And the hostel is located higher up, so a nice view of the lake and only a few blocks away from centro.

All ok, just the dinner was not that good. It was only on plate per person, and you could not repeat (army style). At two nights we´ve got to go outside and have a burger to be satisfied. Also, they could have the pool table for free like other hostels (here you have to pay), and we could not bring alcohol from outside and drink there too (in other hostels, for example, people do that).
