    Great location, comfortable and friendly.

    The breakfast was uninspiring and limited for me, however other guests seemed content, so perhaps I was unfairly applying European expectations?

    The staff, reception location and cleanliness of the hotel were all great. I found the staff particularly helpful whenever I asked them for information about the area or excursions and they were able to help me to book shared return transport to the airport. The hotel is located one street back from the main high street, this means that there are lots of good restaurant and bars within easy walking distance. It's also convenient for excursion pick ups and drop offs. There is also a comfortable communal sitting room and fridge that you can use.

    A very well located hotel just a block from the main street of El Calafate. The room was comfortable. Breakfast is served in your room at your chosen time. Staff were friendly and very helpful to suggest and organise trips and taxis. This is a great and well priced choice for El Calafate and I highly recommend it.

    The bed sheets looks like it wasn’t change. Some dirty crumbs noted under the blanket. The desk was notified and they acted on it right away, they change the bed with new and better sheets and blankets. Better and comfortable.

    Nature vibe.

    We enjoyed our time at Kau Kaleshen. The staff were helpful and friendly. The feeling of Kau Kaleshen is relaxed and welcoming. The backyard is green and feels private. We parked our care on the street in front. One can walk about a half mile or so to the Laguna Nimez nature reserve, where we saw an Andean fox (zorro colorado), flamingos, and many other birds. We ate dinner at Kau Kalashen as well and enjoyed it very much; all the staff were very friendly at breakfast and dinner. The front desk staff helped us obtain our Glacier National Park tickets.

    Nothing.

    The property is beautiful, located right in the middle of the city center, yet on a quiet street with no disturbance. The staff is super friendly. They speak English and try to help by providing as much information as possible. They even arranged a taxi for us to go to the airport. We stayed for one night. The room was comfortable and big - nothing to complain. The restaurant is cozy and serves delicious local cuisine (a bit pricey maybe).

    The breakfast was very disappointing: no yogurt, no granola or seeds, just one sugared cornflake type, and poor orange juice. No eggs. Very limited.

    Not a single thing

    If I could have been able to give 10 stars I would have done it! Stayed in Kau Kaleshen for 2 nights. Booked via Booking, after which the staff contacted me quickly and offered their help with anything that I needed help with. They advised me on transport from&to the airport and on the tour to Perito Moreno to be booked. Since my flight was uncertain they assisted me with all the things to do before my arrival. Honestly, Lionel, Agus and Aly must have a degree in Costumer Service……I cannot get over how they have done everything to make my stay there more comfortable!! I do travel a lot (for work) but have never experienced this before, even in 5* hotels! Location of Kau Kaleshen is perfect, right in the centre of El Calafate, but fortunately in a quite street. I think the prices are very reasonable. The rooms are located around a quite court, are just what you need and clean. It came with breakfast, again…just what you need before going on a trip. They can also supply you with various lunch boxes, so you don’t have to worry about organising that yourself. The restaurant is part of the Hosteria and offers various local dishes of high quality. It is very comfortable to be able to eat there, and you can count on good quality. I honestly don’t see any reason nót to recommend this place, felt extremely welcome!
