Staff and location

Stayed in March 2024

The breakfasts were limited, but adequate. Its a long way from the bus station but that’s not Ariel’s fault !

The staff were lovely, the location was fine, easily walkable to the centre, the hotel was clean and comfy. Great supermarket next door

Sparse decor, no lounge area or ambiance, and rooms too hot (heat not adjustable)

Location, size of bed and bathroom.

Not much English but we are used to it. The receptionist, perfectly friendly and helpful until the checkout tried to use an exchange rate higher than the usual one by more than 100, asking for 40.000 more than anticipated because they use a rate between the official and the blue dollar rate in their “usual” conversion. We discussed 10 minutes and we finally paid at the common/official rate…

Common pickup/drop-off point, out of the center but not too far. There is a small supermarket just next. The breakfast was mainly sweets but with some various options. We could use the microwave. The room was nice and warm. The shower was ok.

The room I was in needs some improvement. It seems to me that owner does not have pride in the rooms. Loose electrical outlets, missing soap shelf in the shower, and a grab bar that I doubt would hold anyway if they were falling.

The staff was very nice and helpful. I liked to breakfast but eggs would make it better.

Brown out! At night 3 times power went off because somebody was using a plug for something

Very personal atmosphere! Flexible with check in

Biggest complain would be the breakfast, which probably was the most disappointing I had in a while. Just cheap sugary pastries. No protein to be found there whatsoever. No vegetables either. The rest was all ok, but on the level of a run-down 1-2 star place. So a bit of an over pay what is being offered here.

It´s well located near the city center of El Calafate. On Google Maps this place is categorized as 1-star hotel. And that seems appropriate. The price was however more of a 3-star hotel (and it was categorized as such here on booking.com at the time). I did however sleep well there and all the staff members were doing their job.

There was no hot water or not at all water in the bathroom,, the fridge was standing on a small stool, and when you wanted to open it it fell on you, the lamp on the small table did not function, one could not open the window only in half and the breakfast was ready only for those who liked sweets like cakes. We had to bring to the dining room some veg like tomatoes, green paprica and avocados, For the price per night one would expect a breakfast with the variety of food. The heating was centrally regulated, so it was not possible to reduce it, and even with the window opened, we were too hot during some nights. So, the owner should pay more attention to her establishment.

Personel was very helpful every time we needed something they found a solution

The overall condition of the hotel is just OK. It is closer to a hostel than a hotel. The radiant heats are turned on by the staff and there is no way to adjust the heat in the room /several nights our room was sweltering even with a window open. There is no way to open the window and still have privacy. There was just a thin curtain. The bathroom door would not close completely.

The location of this hotel is great. Just a short walk to shops and restaurants. The staff was very friendly and helpful.

Very poor value. Extremely overpriced for what you get. Bare minimum accommodation, small room with no place to put your things, everything done as basic as possible but charge like a 4 star hotel.

Not far from main part of town

I didn’t stay there. On new years even I booked this hotel and when I arrived they told me that there was a ‘glitch in a system’ and there are no rooms. They didn’t provide an alternative.

Nothing.

The afternoon receptionist is all the bad things. Rude to customers, slow, confused all the time... She gave a late check out to the person in our room and asked us to wait for 1.5h to be able to check in. Her excuse: well people usually come later... It was 4.30 pm! Not unreasonable to check in I think. The heating system is central. The thermostat is in the large dining room. To heat that up they need to crank up the heat. It is steaming hot in the rooms. We had to sleep with windows fully open in the patagonian cold weather and we would be still sweating. But during the night... They turn it down... And you freeze to death. So every night we had to wake up in the middle of our sleep to close the windows. Overall the whole hotel is outdated. The breakfast is a mix of ultra processed food: cake, cookies, pound cake, cereals, toast and jellies. Something similar to ham and cheese. Juices are made from powder. I would avoid it, it is not as cheap as to justify all the stinginess they show in every detail.

This hotel has potential. It is not far from the center. They were flexible when we had to change the dates of our stay.

Not much, lady who checked us in charged a peso rate above the bank rate. It was costing us $121 instead of $89. After showing her the bank rate, she reduced a little bit, but still over the bank rate. I know peso is cheap, but over blowing for tourist is not fair.

Simple breakfast. I thought the room is very hazardous. There is unfinished plumbing work, with pipes sticking out from the sides. Someone can get a nasty gash if the they go to the bathroom without lights on. People seems like they never sleeps, it was very loud whole night we were there.

Old rooms. Need an upgrade.
