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.
Infelizmente não tivemos uma boa experiência.
Cuidado quem vai pagar em dinheiro na estadia. O valor da conversão do dólar para peso é com base na cotação do dólar MEP.
Uma dica é levar os dólares para pagar a estadia, senão a estadia vai sair 10% a mais na conversão do hotel para pesos.
O quarto estava com problema no aquecedor e não tivemos a oportunidade de mudar, pois não havia disponibilidade de novo quarto.
O café da manhã é bem fraco: pão, sugo e biscoitos. Nem as medialunas que é algo comum na região, infelizmente não tinha.
O restaurante do hotel funciona apenas a noite - 19:30h às 22h.
O quarto não tem espelho fora do banheiro e internet fraca.
O banheiro acumula água e vaza para área de piso.
Lembrando que ele fica há 18/20 minutos do centro. Como na cidade não tem Uber, o táxi é a única solução.
A equipe de atendimento é simpática, mas se esforçou pouco nos problemas.

Muito lonhe do centro, localizado num deserto não tem nada por perto! Muito caro para o que oferece!
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.
No se si fue expedia o el propio hotel pero revendieron y cuando llegue no tenia las habitaciones. Tuvimos q salir a buscar un hotel nuevo en la semana del festival del lago von todo repleto de gente. Medio dia perdido y el humor arruinado por 24 hrs. Eso no se hace, al menos se avisa antes
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!
Muy acogedor y las personas muy amables, algo lejos de av libertadores pero tampoco nada impisible.
Lo único que no me gusto para nada fue la cena de navidad ya que tardó mucho tiempo en su preparación y fue extremadamente cara
El desayuno podría ser un poquito mejor
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.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Disliked: Room comfort
Très très très bruyant
5 mois à l'avance nous avions demandé une chambre au premier étage de l'annexe et nous avons eu une chambre au rez-de-chaussée du bâtiment principal (petite chambre très très très bruyante et salle de bain également petite). On entendait le voisin ronfler.
Nous avons passés les 2 dernières nuits au rez-de-chaussée de l'annexe ( plus grande mais toujours le bruit du voisin du dessus)
Sinon l'accueil est chaleureux et le petit déjeuner quelconque
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.
