Service by Natalia was excellent, we stayed just one night but we had a great experience.
Tiny clean cozy room
Good breakfast
15 minutes walk from « downtown » El calafate and the restaurants
Breakfasts are not what they were! .. not very healthy- lots of sugar and reused food / not hot selection - juice is boxed and sugary - coffee dispenser broken and unhygienic. Restaurant has extremely poor selection- no afternoon tea offered anymore. Amenities getting tired and old - not particularly child friendly- staff were grumpy ( one lovely exception!) location being built out - no fan in the bathroom- only two teabags in room , no milk, no refreshments offered in room. Won’t be back.
Fantastic and super friendly staff! Room was clean and properly equipped, but a touch small. Good breakfast and dinner available on- site. Walking distance to town center.
THis is the best hotel we stayed in Patagonia. THe room, breakfast and the kindness of the staff were unparalleled.
It was a great value for what we paid too!
We found the hotel staff to be very helpful and loved the views! We would’ve enjoyed a larger breakfast selection and usually had to visit the local supermarket to stalk up on extra goods. The hotel was close to town, which was nice!! We were able to able to get around easily.
The service was top-notch. They held our bags while we went to visit the nearby glacier. The hotels feels more like a cosy B&B, with rustic charm, offering large bedrooms and nice garden view - plenty of spots to unwind with a good book. While for some being out of city may be difficult without a car, we enjoyed the quiet it provided. If you don't want to walk to town (~20mins), they offer dinner - must make reservations and pre-order.
The hotel food was beautiful and rooms really well set out. The staff spoke English very well and were most helpful. A gem of a hotel only 500 metres walk from the centre of town.

Liked: Staff & service
Friendly staff, very basic breakfast, paper thin wall, not Central enough
This hotel is a little gem, comfortable beds, good breakfast ,an option to eat (a well cooked)dinner there as well. Can't praise the place highly enough. 10 minute walk from main street. Friendly and helpful staff.
We stayed one night on our way to another city. The hotel is eclectic and cozy. The staff was very kind and let us borrow bicycles to ride around town, which we appreciated. Breakfast was freshly prepared—yogurt, bread, granola, juice.
This is very nice homey property. Small and personal. Price was $92 USD per night. Nice eating area for breakfast. We didn't take any other meals here though. The rooms were nicely decorated although small. A great location - quiet but within walking distance of downtown. Also close to a great birding area - Reserva Natural Laguna Nimez.. We would stay here again.

we moved
The room was tiny. The stairs were difficult especially with luggage. The staff was very nice but we moved to a different hotel in the same city for the remainder of our stay.
This hotel is quiet, a bit rustic and a short walk from the town center. It is located near the bird sanctuary and lagoon of Lagos Argentinos and while we hadn’t planned to visit, the sanctuary was both beautiful and relaxing in an otherwise busy visit. The hotel provides a very nice breakfast and dinner too if you make a reservation.
The hotel is about ten minutes walk from the centre of town, so was nice and quiet and rural. It's only a few minutes walk from the bird reserve next to the lake, which is well worth a visit. We were in the new annexe next door, which was nice and comfortable, although because of the wooden floors you could definitely hear people upstairs.
Breakfast was nice, although not overly big - not an issue for us as we were usually up and out early. Lunch boxes were also provided for excursions, and parking was straightforward. Tea and muffins in the evening were a very nice, welcome touch after a long day out in the Patagonian wilds!
The hotel staff is really welcoming and knowledgeable about the area. The tea time from 5-7 is a great way to relax. The dining room has a beautiful view of the lagoon. And the sitting area downstairs is a cozy place to relax. We were drinking our wine and they brought us some cheese to go with it. We really liked staying here.
