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.

Very clean rooms, very friendly and helpful staff. Walking distance to bus station and shops. A little bit of street noise like car alarms going off but to be expected from such a convenient location to busy downtown. We had a wonderdul stay and the staff were hardworking and went above and beyond to helpnus.

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 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.
