We stayed here for two nights at the start of our trip (we joined the Navimag south, and drove back through Chile and Argentina). And another night at the end of the trip It is a much better bet than staying in Puerto Montt. The hotel has astounding views across the lake and to the snowcapped volcanoes in the distance... more

The Hotel Puelche fulfilled all our expectations and more. When we arrived our room was not ready so we were sat down and brought tea and cakes to pass the time, these were on the house and were delicious. The staff on reception were extremely helpful and nothing was too much trouble. The bedroom and bathroom were first class and... more

This hotel is a few minutes away from the hustle and bustle of downtown. The rooms are very large (at least ours was) and decorated very nicely with all the amenities you could need. Breakfast was served from 7 to 11 which was a nice touch considering we slept in lake after our tour of Todos Los Santos. The staff... more

We came up the Chilean coast on the Navimag landing at Puerto Montt. We made a brilliant choice to get a 15 min taxi ride into Puerto Varas and book into Hotel Puelche. It was a new hotel so probably not a lot of info on tripadvisor as yet. The staff are so helpful and friendly. The bed was huge... more

This was the best hotel we stayed at in Chile. The location is ideal with a view of the lake and volcano, away from the noise yet it is close enough to the center of town. The staff were nice and helpful. It has a convenient restaurant with a decent menu and reasonable prices. more

We stayed four nights in January 2008 with our two girls. WE booked two separate rooms (402 and 403). These are the best rooms we have had in Chile. Big, comfortable with a nice bathroom. The beds are excellent and our rooms had best view of the lake. The staff is very friendly and helpful, most of them speak good... more

We were unhappy with our hotel in Fruitillar and went searching for something better in the area. We wanted to be closer to Puerto Varas since most of the restaurants we were interested in are there. We stopped at quite a few different places in Puerto Varas and were really disappointed in all of them until we arrived at the... more

I'm tempted to plagiarize the entire review titled Hotel Stay Beyond Our Expectations because we had the same experience when my husband, my friends and I were at Hotel Puelche in November. We, too, spent 3 weeks in Chile and Argentina, and like formerhusker71, we stayed in all kinds of accommodations. Many failed to live up to their promise. However,... more

During our three weeks in Argentina and Chile, we sampled many types of lodgings. The Puelche out did any Ritz-Carltons for service, amenities, and design. The hotel design allows the guests to enjoy the beauty of Patagonia. Every detail of the hotel was well executed. The resturant's menu, service, and food were excellent.
