I think this is a great place to stay if you plan to be exploring most of the day. It’s clean and the staff is very friendly and accommodating. The rooms are simple - no frills but sufficient for a good stay. Note - the bed is slightly on the hard side. The breakfast selection is rather sparse. It’s a pleasant location and makes for a good walk to the downtown strip. An excellent value.

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.

Front desk reception was extremely unhelpful. My trip took 12 hours longer than expected. I arrived at 9:28am after missing the night in the hotel. Breakfast normally ended at 9:30am. Even though I was 2 minutes before the deadline, I was told I could not get breakfast, even after my delayed travel experience. The lady in the kitchen was going to make me eggs, but the receptionist went out of her way to cancel the order. Generally, the receptionist seemed to enjoy exercising 'petty' power.

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.

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.

Check-in: Sep 29, 2024 Check-out: Oct 3, 2024 We booked our room months in advance. We asked for a queen size bed. When we arrived in the hotel, there was only one person to check us in. I understand that she, Andre, was doing her best. She was pleasant and welcoming but it took about 40 minutes to check in due to having to answer many, many questions from guests who were checking in before us. To wait that long to check in is quite unacceptable in any hotel. Not good. The hotel should have another person to assist with check in. She believed we had booked a room with two twin beds but we had requested a queen size bed. When she finally took us to our room, it looked nothing like the photos we had seen on Expedia. The room was extremely small, not clean, old and unkept (rust, furniture in bad shape) no TV, a window with a view to a small piece of dirt and walls, no safe for our passports, only two bath towels and two hand towels. We were shocked and disappointed. Again, that looked nothing like the photos shown on Expedia. We left the hotel immediately. We never had such a frustrating experience at a hotel. We felt deceived because we would never have booked and paid in advance for a room like the one they gave us.
