Excellent Place to stay in Calafate. Great quality costo balance
Outside of the main center but has shuttle to take you there every hour
Staff is amazing. Food is great
Rooms could use an upgrade
Very good property with beautiful views. Room was clean and well appointed, staff was helpful, it was a nice place. The only disadvantage (or advantage, depending on perspective) is that it was a bit out of town, so the main street with all the restaurants was not as easily walkable. We had a car so it didn't bother us. Stayed in March of 2026.
Fabulous views of lake Argentino from the hotel and staff very helpful especially with our early arrival and check in. There is a shuttle bus to and from the town so didn’t matter that we were a good 45 minute walk away.
Hotel has great views. It is about a 1.5 mile walk to town. this was fine for us but may not be for everyone. The food in the hotel was excellent, and they packed us a great lunch for one of our tours.
Excellent view from the room. Comfortable bed, nice bathroom.
Breakfast was poor and staff were curt.
Courtesy shuttle bus was useful if you could secure a seat.
Overall the view made it all worthwhile.
Great hotel! The service was excellent! The food, the location, the views, the cleanliness, and the best of all was the service from the front desk, to the waiters and cleaning staff. Definitely recommend this place!
