La unica cosa que no me gustó es que no todos los cuartos tienen aire acondicionado.
De los 4 cuartos que teniamos, creo que solo 1 tenia aire.

Not happy
Very disappointed in front desk as policies.
1) they would not change less than $50 and it was my last day in Argentina and just needed tip money for their employees
2) exchange rate was a rip off - 750 vs 1000 at our last hotel
3) gave us wrong opening time of glacier museum which we based our day on
4)no free bottled water in the room

Serious deficits in service.
Neglected surrounding of the hotel buildings.
Asking for a delay of just 30 minutes for check out you simply get the answer “ not possible”. I.e. substantial lack of customer friendliness

Comfortable and welcoming hotel
The nicest hotel we stayed in during our time in Argentina. Good service. Nice breakfast each morning. Small but relaxing pool - a true delight after a day at the glacier. It was quite far from town, either 300 pesos in a taxi or the hotel run an hourly shuttle but they only do 7-8 runs per day, one just before lunch and the rest throughout the afternoon /evening.

Hermoso hotel, habitación relativamente pequeña pero muy cómoda, la cama excelente, la vista al lago espectacular. La piscina cubierta es espectacular. El desayuno completo y exquisito. Ubicado en las afueras del centro de la ciudad, difícil llegar caminando, se necesita transfer o coche.

The hotel is modern, quiet, comfortable and clean. Food and drinks from the hotel bar are great value, but the restaurant is expensive.
The hotel is trying really hard to be top notch, but is missing a couple of key facilities such as tea and coffee in the rooms, but overall it’s still an excellent place to stay.

What a lovely hotel and spa! Had a great time at this hotel and it was very close to the city center with free shuttle service. I also took advantage of there wonderful spa service which was professional and reasonably priced. Will be back here again!

The hotel is ok, but certainly far from a 5 star.
It is also a quite far from the city center.
The main reason for my complain is that after the check out I was charged on my credit card for extra expenses (thought I detailed during the ckeck out all the consuption from the previous night) and despite 4 enquiries I didn't get a single return from the hotel explaining the additional charge.

Clean, Convenient & Comfortable
The hotel is conveniently located with a useful shuttle service 10 minutes from downtown that runs through the day and into late evening. Breakfast is limited - same fare every day with little imagination. Staff are friendly and helpful, but the front desk is always understaffed. If you need assistance settle in for a 10 minute wait. Lunchboxes for day excursions were awful. Pool and spa are excellent.

Nice hotel in Calafate
Very nice hotel in Calafate. It has a great view to the lake. It's a little far from the center of the city but they have a nice minivan that leaves every 30 minutes to the center and bring back the guests. The room is warm, cozy and comfortable. I would only recommend they improve que quality of the breakfast. They should replace some items continuously but they only did if you ask. I would go back to this hotel again.
