El Calafate, Argentina Hotel Rooms at the Independent

Hosteria Puerto San Julian is a brilliant choice when staying in Calafate. The staff is extremely nice and helpful, the rooms always clean and tidy and it is only 5 minutes from the center. It was a great stay specially because it is really welcoming, the staff is more than happy to help us out in what we needed & the hostel itself is really confortable. If I'm ever again in Calafate, I will for sure return to this hosteria.

Very friendly and helpful staff. Arranged hielo y aventura excursion for us. Room was spacious yet cozy, and clean. Walls a little thin. Breakfast decent for the area. A bit further from the centre of town than most other hotels.

SINCE THE ARRIVAL TILL THE END, THE HOTEL CREW WAS FANTASTIC. I STAYED THERE FOR 8 NIGHTS AND COULD EVALUATE THOROUGHLY BREAKFAST (EXCELLENT), SERVICES (GREAT), ROOMS AND FACILITIES (INTERNET, FRIDGE, OPTIONAL SERVICES, RESTAURANT) ALL OF THEM VERY, VERY GOOD. AN EXCELLENT COST X BENEFIT RELATION. LOCATION IS AWESOME. I STRONGLY RECOMMEND THIS HOTEL.

We were so pleasantly surprised as to how comfortable this hotel was in this remote area of the globe. Good restaurant, nice spa and a VERY WARM pool. All staying in Calafate area need to keep in mind that all excursions start between 0700-0900 so there is always traffic in the hotels, regardless of where you stay. With all the outdoors things to do, hopefully, you are one of those getting up early to make it to you excursion. The hotel is just on the outskirts of town but they have a very convenient shuttle that takes you back & forth. I did not feel inconvenienced by this and we had views of Lago Argentina to boost! The only drawback was that their was a heater but nothing to regulate the temperature to a cooler setting, hence, the 4 rating for comfort. We did go in summer and had to leave the window open to get some ventilation. Comments about barking dogs that I came across in other reviews are exaggerated. Yes, there are wild dogs and they do get loud at times but it was not incessant and frequent. I've been to Hawaii and the wild chickens and rooster crowing every morning was more frustrating than this. Despite being wild, these dogs were not threatening at all wherever we walked. This experience comes with the territory.

Lovely boutique appartments overlooking Lake Argentina. The staff will make sure your stay is special and you make the most of your stay in this incredibly beautifull part of the world. We loved El Calafate and we loved this hotel. Definitely one of the highlights of our trip and one we'll never forget.

Excellent service, grieta view and food Somalia personalice hotel

Located next to lago Argentina this is the perfect place to stay. A small hotel with very nice decorated rooms. Wjo doesn't want to have breakfast with o view on the flamingoes. But most of all, the service is one of the best I've ever experienced and trust me, I travel a lot. The personel is not only outstanding in their service but also interested and very friendly. I had a perfect stay and would defenitely go back if the possibility is there. Thank you very much! Wilma

Very conveniently located close to the Main Street but away from noise, super clean and the friendliest, most helpful owner, we would love to stay again sometime.

Excellent location. Staff was great and very helpful. I love the pool and the sauna. Cheap massages too
