Friendly hotel in central El Calafate

Nice clean room, no issues. Good breakfast - continental style, scrabbled eggs, toast, pancakes. Friendly staff - they run their own local tour agency, which we used for our three trips, all picking up from the hotel. Hotel well situated for centre of town, a few 100m away.

Lakshmi

Liked: Cleanliness
Giving 3 stars mainly because amenities definitely need an upgrade - especially the shower. Rooms were just ok - no elevators. our room was in second floor and when we checked out, no staff was available at reception so we struggled to carry 5 suitcases from 2nd floor to lobby. For the price I paid, expected an upscaled room. Pros - convenient location to elcalafate city for restaurants/cafe and convenient for tour pick up

Rooms were a little hot at night as the weather in Calafate was much warmer than usual, no a/c but rooms were clean and comfortable. A little noisy at times with people walking past the balconies. Great location with the Main Street a few minutes walk away and a nice park across the road. Augustin on the front desk was fantastic and helped us book a couple of excursions, get some laundry done and gave us some good recommendations for places to eat and for drinks. Great guy!

Disliked: Room comfort
The hotel’s exterior and communal areas are lovely, the same can’t be said about our room which is a shame. Style over substance. The room was a good size however it is the hardest mattress I have ever slept on! There was not a lot of light in the room either and the bathroom was very haphazard in construction.
