The hotel and staff were very nice. It was a bit warm for our liking but not unbearable, and the water pressure was very intense in the shower, but otherwise the room had everything we needed. The breakfast was nice as well.

The property is well located in the downtown of El Calafate My bedroom was not ready at the time of the check in. The property needs some updates as the mattresses are old, pillows, the bedding sheets, blankets... and some of the staff are rude, especially the guy who was at the front desk on Sunday morning.

Disliked: Amenities
It’s super central so give plenty of options for dinner at night and being dropped by the shuttle from the airport. Lucas was very helpful and nice. Property need some investment. More and more hotel are being built in the calafate area and the hotel is very dated. A bit like a 70/80s hotel. Also the 10am check out was a surprise…I had a bit of time on my last day and decided to take time after 2 intense weeks and targeted to check out at 11am but was asked to hurry at 10.30..:) despite the hotel not looking very busy.

Simple, clean property but over rated & very overpriced for a 3* motel. Good Location: only 1-2 block walk to main street & parks. Simple basic breakfast. There was No conditioner nor tissues in the room. Room Safe did not work. Outdoor Garden area with plastic Adirondack Chairs & tables. This is not an accessible property; many steps to reception/restaurant. On site parking.

Achei a funcionaria que trabalha no café da manhã um pouco rude. A localização é muito boa, tem estacionamento e o café da manhã é bom. O quarto é espaçoso, porém nos colocaram 2 camas de solteiro juntas, ao invés de uma cama de casal.

Great location and friendly enough staff, but the bathrooms are barely serviceable and the place is so noisy. All of the doors are hollow and you can hear every conversation, door open and slam close. Also A/C and ground floor windows open mean anyone could climb in. You might save a few bucks, but you won’t sleep at all.

The hotel was mostly great. The one problem was the room was too warm, and we couldn’t open the window wide to cool it off, because it was on a busy street with no privacy.

Het hotel ligt zeer centraal, wij vinden dat ze wel hadden moeten vermelden dat er een festival in El Calafate was, en dat het festivalterrein maar op enkele tientallen meters van het hotel lag. Je kon dus niet vroeg gaan slapen en dat is vervelend als je om 7.15 uur word opgehaald voor een excursie, of als je om 7.20 uur op het vliegveld moet zijn
