The staff was very friendly and helpful, they helped make restaurant reservations and taxi arrangements. The location is in the center of the town, the property environment is very nice with little garden and courtyard. However the room is very small, the bed is not as firm and comfortable.

Nice hotel with a nice courtyard. The people at the front desk were very friendly and knowledgeable on activities to do in the area. Room was very nice overlooking the courtyard. Bed was comfortable and room was clean. Shower had really nice hot water and was really refreshing. Wi-Fi is good at best and at times not so responsive and may be a regional issue. I thought breakfast was plentiful and. excellent: strong coffee, delicious cereal, fresh fruits, orange juice, baked items, and some delicious cheese.

This hotel has a great potential. Pro: Prime location. About 30 mins walk from the bus terminal. 15 mins walk to lake nimez. Beautiful property with a courtyard. Friendly staff and very helpful. Clean and comfortable bed. Provided 2 firmness of pillow. Con: Drain at the shower didn’t work properly. Water at the shower raised to the level of the back of my feet within 30 sec( when I was testing the right temperature for the shower) I reported it to the staff after the first night and I saw him brought a repairman to tried to fix it but during my 3 nights there. The problem didn’t resolve. Walls between rooms are extremely thin that you can easily hear the whole conversation from the next room. I would highly recommend to bring your ear plugs. Breakfast was very basic which I think they could still keep the cost down by simply displaying the limited options better. (Buffet style) Had a hard time finding a clean table for breakfast if I come at the later time (8:30am-9am) Would love to stay here again if they could fix those issues. (Especially the shower)

Cozy, colorful garden, friendly front desk!

We travelled to Calafate in a family plan for four adults, my two daughters over 40, and my closest friend - like sister- and me, over 70. We were celebrating the three of them BDs, past in February and April, and late May for one of them. The place was amazing, cute, very convenient location, one block apart of the Main avenue of this small town. Even if it was out of peak season, the guys from the front desk, were super attentive to all our questions, gave us excellent tips and recommendations for places to have lunch or dinner or things to do. They prepared for us the breakfast that we could take in a very cozy room with fire place, armchairs, small tables, books to read and with a wide window to the garden, great in fall colors. Thank you guys! Lionel y Franco! We know now where to go when we come back to Calafate!

Hübsche einfache Unterkunft mit sehr netten Mitarbeitern. Sehr ruhig und angenehme Matratze. Mein Zimmer war bereits vorgeheizt. Genügend Parkplätze auf der Straße.
