This is one of the nicest places I have ever stayed. It's a boutique hotel with five-star service. Rosa and Matías and the other staff are phenomenal. They made us feel like family. The breakfast buffet is a huge and delicious spread. There are cafes and restaurants close by, but the street is quiet. It's a few minutes walk from the beautiful Nimez nature reserve. Truly, we did not want to leave this gem of a hotel. Calafate is a wonderful base to explore this area of Patagonia. It was a trip of a lifetime.

Disliked: Amenities
Staff was very nice. Rooms were clean, but basic. There were no amenities at the hotel. Basic breakfast was served. The best part of this hotel is an outstanding local guide — Mariano. We were beyond thrilled with Mariano and his expert knowledge of the area. An exceptional guide! Great personality and highly knowledgeable of the most important area attractions. Very experienced and goes out of his way to make every outdoor excursion the very best. Mariano is a true find!
