This hotel is one block away from the main street which is really convenient for travelers, it has the basic needs for a short stay and the people in charge are extra nice and attentive, the hotel is clean and warm.

Calafate Hideaway
Nice location a few blocks from the main drag. Near a park, relativeky small and quier. Goid value.
Very clean rooms, very friendly and helpful staff. Walking distance to bus station and shops. A little bit of street noise like car alarms going off but to be expected from such a convenient location to busy downtown. We had a wonderdul stay and the staff were hardworking and went above and beyond to helpnus.
Clean and comfortable, relatively quiet, five minute walk from the main drag. It takes a few minutes before the hot water in the shower flows. Excellent breakfast!
The property is well located in the downtown of El Calafate
My bedroom was not ready at the time of the check in. The property needs some updates as the mattresses are old, pillows, the bedding sheets, blankets... and some of the staff are rude, especially the guy who was at the front desk on Sunday morning.
Property needs updating. Front desk tries to help but very understaffed by one person only. Breakfast was nice. Location is good too. Rooms are extremely basic and sparsely furnished.

Disliked: Amenities
It’s super central so give plenty of options for dinner at night and being dropped by the shuttle from the airport.
Lucas was very helpful and nice.
Property need some investment. More and more hotel are being built in the calafate area and the hotel is very dated. A bit like a 70/80s hotel.
Also the 10am check out was a surprise…I had a bit of time on my last day and decided to take time after 2 intense weeks and targeted to check out at 11am but was asked to hurry at 10.30..:) despite the hotel not looking very busy.
The hotel and staff were very nice. It was a bit warm for our liking but not unbearable, and the water pressure was very intense in the shower, but otherwise the room had everything we needed. The breakfast was nice as well.
Leader at the hotel were very attentive. Jacob was awesome. Very personable.

The hotel was mostly great. The one problem was the room was too warm, and we couldn’t open the window wide to cool it off, because it was on a busy street with no privacy.
