Very clean rooms and facility. Friendly staff. Very close to bus station was handy

The bathroom was a bit uncomfortable. The shower leaked out no matter what you did to prevent that. Room was a bit tight. When paying the property, it was not really clear to me the calculation behind (exchange rate) so I suggest in the future this is explained broadly.

We liked the breakfast, quite a variety. You had a key to get back into the hotel if you stayed out after reception hours. They also offered the taxi service from the airport.

Take into consideration that it is located out of the town. You have to walk at least 1 km if you want to see stores and you don’t have a car. However, it is close to bus station (300 meters)

Good breakfast with extra charge of 2000 pesos if you want added eggs. Clean, has private parking.

Location on the periphery of town but very handy for the bus station. The locks on door rooms can be tedious - can require multiple attempts! Bathrooms are dated and showers small with a curtain that wants to cling to you with every move. Biggest drawback is noise - any sound from other rooms, foyer and outside travels clearly.

Simple lodging with comfortable beds and 2 pillow options. Lovely staff. Decent breakfast with more options available than is typical in Argentina. Organised a Perito Moreno tour and airport transfer through the hotel, both were with the same driver and very good.

Noise!!! Woke up first night thinking somebody is sleeping in my room. The noise isolation is really bad. You can hear neighbors snoring. Basic breakfast (bread, yogurt, cornflakes, oats, fruits and sweet pastries). But it's more or less the same in the majority hosterias/lodges I have stayed in South Patagonia.

In overall it met expectations. Knew what to expect :-) Hospitable staff. Very good location - short walkable distance to the bus station. Good Wi-Fi. Fresh fruit at breakfast.

Bathroom and especially the shower need some maintanance.

Nice staff was very helpful organizing a trip to perito moreno and airport transfer.. In generel a good place to stay. Walking to the center takes 15-20 min.

Had to ask for water and hot water from staff

Conveniently located close to the bus terminal.

I wish there was a guest kitchen to store personal food items. They also advertise laundry service for an extra charge, which we were relying on, but they do not have it. We had to take our laundry into town. The luggage storage also needs improvement. They just store your luggage in the main area, it is not a secure storage.

This is a really nice guesthouse in El Calafate. The staff are excellent - very nice and helpful in making bookings, and the breakfast is also really nice and offered early, which we appreciated. The room itself was mostly great, but there's some plumbing issues in the bathroom which cause it to flood the bathroom every time you shower.

A little dated but for the price no complaints

Clean, great breakfast, fresh fruit was amazing! Cake too, close to bus station. Very comfortable

Very nice friendly staff. Place was clean with good vibe, nice breakfast.

Bathroom shower was not working so well and wet the bathroom. The breakfast was very basic without any savory offerings for the bread.

Helpful staff and good location close to the bus terminal. The infrastructure was ok.

Very interesting style and life approach, clean and with a staff alailable to suggest and organize excursions before your arrival. At the entrance of El Calafate, 15min walking from the city center.

Long way from the town centre.

Nice staff. Good breakfast. Close to the bus station.

It would be nice to have an egg dish for the breakfast

Staff was friendly and accommodating. Hotel is close to the bus terminal and 10-15 minute's walk from the city center. Good Wi-Fi connection.

Breakfast options could be more varied.

Close to the bus station. Very friendly staff. Room is functional and clean.

It’s a 20 minute walk to the edge of the Main street in town, where most of the restaurants are (uphill walk in the way back) - but it is close to the bus station

Staff were amazing: really helpful and friendly. The option for snacks and packed lunches were really handy, too. Basic facilities, but it’s what to expect in a backpacker-type guest house.

The breakfast was nice in general - yogurts, bread, fruit, cornflakes, oats, bread, and some sweet stuff to put on the bread. It would be great to put something salty and nutritious on the bread (egg, jam, cheese, etc.). But later, experiencing breakfast options in other guest houses, we started valuing what Hosteria Los Gnomos offered.

It was a nice family-run guesthouse with extremely friendly staff who welcomed us. The rooms were simple but nice and clean, and the overall space of the guesthouse was very cozy. We especially liked the location - only 5 minutes to the coach station and 15 minutes to the center - some people mentioned in the comments that it's a bit far from the center, but actually it's not. It was definitely the nicest place we stayed in Patagonia.

Breakfast could be better if there were at least something not fully consisted from carbs :)

Amazing owners, comfortable rooms

Stayed in December 2023

Location about 1km from the centre is perfectly walkable but along with size of room should be reflected in price

Owners and staff are very friendly and helpful.

Looks a bit on the older side, 20min walk from downtown where all the restaurants are, breakfast is only toasts and jam + cereals.. doesn’t really keep you full for a long time so we had very early lunches during our stay,

Very nice staff and helpful, close to the bus terminal, great exchange rate when you buy an item like a beer with them, comfortable rooms, great lunch boxes for the day excursions

As mentioned in the other reviews, the breakfast selection was underwhelming. This is the only place I stayed so far that did not offer eggs, ham or cheese as part of breakfast. All my other accommodations in El Calafate, or in El Chalten and Puerto Natales offered those choices. I hope the owners can consider improving their breakfast spread for future guests.

About 5-8 mins walking distance from the bus. About 20-30 mins walking distance from the town. The owners were very friendly. The room was a decent size, and it was clean and comfortable.

Rooms comfort could be improved a bit, especially the toilet and room locks.

Staff was really nice and helpful with information about the area! Place was very close to the bus station and walkable distance to the city center.

Breakfast could be improved with some eggs, ham and cheese etc.

The room was spacious and very clean, with natural light and good heating. The managers are nice and helped me to book a cab, etc. Its literally a 5min walk from the bus station, so great option if you are coming by bus alone, or late at night.
