I liked the room however the walls need to be cleaned. Watch out for the kitchen lady. She will not allow you to pack your own breakfast to go. Everything must be eaten in front of her in the dining room. Many tours start early so it would be nice of them to allow breakfast to go. Other places will pack it for you.

Good locations. Super helpul staff. We also used them to book tours. Their alternative glacier was excellent.

10/10

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.

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.

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.
