This hotel was in a good location, a short walk to the main part of town in El Calafate. The staff were helpful and kind. We were three people in a room. The space felt a bit tight, but we were only in town for two nights. We took advantage of their excursion offering and were so happy with the service. Breakfast was great in a nice cabin like hotel space.

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"

Pleasant hotel in great location. A lot of small things missing. Minimal space for storage and no hooks for hanging towels, etc. A few more $$ towards what you'd normally find in a hotel would make this place excellent.

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.

One off the main reason to choose this hotel was the payment will do in the hotel. Despite this condition the hotel charge mi credit card in US$ before arrival and did not permit me to pay in the hotel either at arrival check in or leaving. This is important because exist with argentina a serius matter regards the exhchange rate between ARS$ and US$. (currency arbitrage) And the pay in US$ is almost the double. The owner of hotel did not made anything to correct this situation This is a not completion of its obligations as what as agreed.
