Dreams del Estrecho

Centrally located near amenities, the hotel offers pleasant surroundings. Guests appreciate comfortable beds, clean, spacious rooms, and friendly staff providing valuable local information.

As pre-arranged by Quark Expeditions, I stayed here before and after my fly/cruise to Antarctica. The hotel's location on the waterfront was excellent [5.0] and quiet, and within walking distance to most tourist sights. The assigned rooms were fair [2.8], but were clean, spacious, and quiet. The bathrooms were very large. The furnishings and linens were very comfortable, but, they were showing their age. Also, despite what staff told me, both of my rooms had no AC; stand-up fans were in both rooms. While the rooms were very warm initially, once I opened the windows and turned on the fans, the rooms got cold. Shower water pressure and temperature were excellent. Staff service was generally very good [4.5] throughout the hotel. However, they were overwhelmed at times. Some English was spoken by staff members, which is always very much appreciated! And, everyone was very friendly and approachable. The breakfast buffet was good [4.1], with an average array of choices to serve various tastes. The food, including outside of breakfast, was generally good. Service was attentive. The gym facility was excellent [5.0]. It was one of the most comprehensive hotel gyms I've ever come across on my worldwide travels.

Rooms are well laid out and breakfast good. On the day we arrived the lifts were broken which was not good when there were over 100 people checking in with luggage for quark expedition. No coffee and tea in room or facilities to make anywhere. Therefore you had to wait for breakfast and nothing available in evening.
