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.

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.

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.

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.
