Amazing Place to Stay in Calafate
We loved our stay! The front desk really made our stay. They went above and beyond in helping us arrange additional travel. Would highly recommend! Location is also wonderful. Quick walk to the bus station and even quicker walk to the main street.

Hotel Review I had a mixed experience during my stay. The service from the team was excellent, with attentive staff always willing to help. However, the cleanliness of the hotel left a lot to be desired. Unfortunately, the room was not well cleaned, and I ended up contracting scabies during my stay. This was extremely unpleasant and caused a huge inconvenience. I hope that the administration takes measures regarding the hygiene of the rooms and common areas, as the service deserves to be accompanied by a better maintained environment.

Lovely rustic hotel
Nice hotel within walking distance of the main street in El Calafate with restaurants and bars. Reception staff were very helpful and welcoming. The breakfast was fairly basic, but did offer cooked eggs on request. The room was nice - ours was on a heated corridor and also had under-floor heating - which was very useful for drying clothes and boots after a rainy day.

Great place to stay to visit the Glaciars
Hotel is well - located. Breakfast is Excellent. Staff is friendly and helpful.
They will exchange currency at Front Desk.
El Calafante is mostly a Base for your daily excursions. This lodging is well-suited and more than adequate for this purpose. Upscale lodgings are available in this City - but are unnecessary- unless you've "got to have it"

Pictures don’t quite make justice to the place. Good size room and so was the bathroom, bed was comfortable. Staff was very friendly and helpful, they even helped us book some tours to the glaciar park and other activities. Location was great, walking distance to a lot of restaurants and shops in town. Breakfast was okay and they don’t have a/c (which is not needed if your visit is during the cool temperature months)
