Great stay
Great place to stay!! We choose it because super close to the bus station and we arrived/left by bus from Chile and also took a bus to El Chalten, so very convenient.
The hotel is new and clean. Breakfast is good and staff is friendly.

Great stay! It is a 20 min walk to downtown but if you don’t feel like walking requesting a taxi from the front desk is easy , cheap and super convenient.

Good option near downtown Calafate.
Great value for a new and clean decently located hotel. Room is a bit small but management is excellent. Good breakfast. Excursions arranged through them were excellent.

Nice, new property very close to the bus station. Easy walking 20 minutes to downtown restaurants and shops. We had difficulty with room being too warm even after shutting off all heat but opened window did cool off the room enough. Staff was very helpful with getting us bus info and a private transfer from the airport through WhatsApp.

too noisy of a stay
we stayed here the week prior and most of it was fine. The whole place was like an oven but in our room we were able to open a window to get it cooler. But this time our room was above the cafe/kitchen are and the generator kept going on an off all night long and we could hear it and we couldn't sleep much that night. Luckily we were only staying one night. Unfortunately, there was nobody at the reception after 11pm so I couldn't tell anyone till the next morning and all they said was thanks but nothing else.

The staff was super nice compare to other hotels. The hotel is only 11/2 years old so its new and clean. Except their room key which is outdated, I hope they change to card key. Overall it was nice to stay at this hotel nd I will definitely come back again.

The property is a bit far from downtown Calafate but when you have excursions the group that you hire will come and pick you up. The hotel is relatively new. The rooms are very clean and comfortable. The heating system is great .
The front desk helped with all the bookings we needed even when the airline changed my flight they helped with my connecting flight change.breakfast is included and the girl in the kitchen cooked our eggs every morning
Highly recommended

New and modern hotel, feels a little like an hostel, but had a private room, bathroom is big clean and shower pressure is amazing. I don’t remember the hostess name but she was sweet and kind. Morning breakfast included is ok. 10 minutes walk away from the Main Street but felt very safe.
