A lovely and very comfortable hotel with very friendly staff. We spent Christmas Eve here and had a very nice Christmas dinner too. The restaurant and room service is a little on the expensive side, but the quality is very good. Would recommend.

Great views, nice rooms

Hotel has beautiful views. Hotel is nice and breakfast is very good. Rooms are dated and a little small… sound travels thru the walls very easily. Note the hotel is outside of town, need a car or bus, too far to walk.

Cozy comfortable mountain style lodge in Patagonia. Beautiful views of Lake Argentina from our room. Excellent restaurant with professional friendly service. Reception staff were warm and helpful. Easy transfer to airport or the center of El Calafate. An excellent choice at the gateway to Patagonia!

Had to wait at check in. Only one staff member to do all the check-in, could have used one more staff. Room was hot, could have had a fan in rooms. Breakfast was delicious! Dining area very nice.

This place is a joke. They think used hotel slippers are Loro Piana. They charge you for every little thing like extra towels and room slippers (used) if you dont return them.

My husband and I had a great experience at this hotel. The staff were amazing. Most of them spoke English and helped coordinate a tour for us and a dinner reservation in downtown. Kalen, in particular, was extremely helpful and we were lucky to have met him and stayed there. Highly recommend for those visiting El Calafate!
