El hotel no está muy lejos del centro si te gusta caminar podes ir tranquilamente a pie,esta cerca de la estacion de micros oara excurciones,eso esta buenisimo. En general las instalaciones estan bien. Las camas en mi habitacion eran todas de una plaza, la q eran marca Piero eran cómodas las otras no y rechinavan bastante. La piletas y el spa estan muy lindos, al spa le daría mas limpieza en el baño y sillas,habia muchas telas arañas,pero el agua estaba bien caliente y limpia siempre. Despues esta el bufete, el desayuno es harinas todos los dias no pidan mas, es rico igualmente. Ahora las comidas a mi gusto horribles todos los menúes y la atención de las camareras es horrible, prácticamente te ladran.

Viajé en Octubre. Hermosa la habitación, cómoda, todo funcionaba bien. En mi caso, la cena estaba incluida con el viaje pero no fue rica, el puré estaba raro, muchos comensales lo dejaron. El desayuno estaba muy bien. El jardín es grande y muy bien cuidado. La pileta climatizada estaba a una buena temperatura.

Fuimos el 19/2 con mi esposo a pasar 5 dias y 3 noches con la empresa ap turismo. Excelente servicio muy buena comida y desayuno. Del centro queda a 10 cuadras paisaje hermoso con las sierras a la vista!. Nos atendieron de 10 precios accesibles para comer y pasear en general tanto en el hotel como fuera d el. La pileta climatizada la exterior y el spa un lujo. Quedamos encantados! Lo unico masomenos es q el wi fi a veces se corta y cuesta q llegue ya q es muy grande el lugar pero tiene varias redes para conectarse... Un lugar para volver si dios quiere lo haremos! Gracias x la buena onda y la amable atención d todo el personal!

Pedimos habitación superior y tuvimos la grata experiencia de estar en una de las mejores! Súper amplia tanto la habitación,como el baño y el balcón! Es un hotel que ya tiene sus años pero está bien mantenido. Muy bien el colchón y las sábanas. La piscina climatizada muy bien, te dan toallones para eso La pileta exterior no la usamos pero estaba muy linda, el parque es hermoso y está muy bien cuidado. Todo muy bien menos el desayuno...eso es lo único que no me gustó...todo harina y de mala calidad, medialunas, criollitos y tostadas muy secas y duras, lo único rescatable es que podes pedir un huevo revuelto. Si vas en auto hay estacionamiento techado y si no tenes movilidad,el centro esta a unas cuadras,se puede ir caminando. En resumen lo recomiendo, excelente relación precio - calidad

Me encanta Virginia Palace. Pagando 4 noches te bonifican una 5ta noche. Está a 3 cuadras de la terminal de colectivos. Y tiene supermercados cerca. Muy bueno. Quizá el punto débil es el wifi. El desayuno viene incluido. La cena no, pero si pagas la cena del día sale solo 10mil por persona, incluye entrada, plato y postre. Muy bueno.
