Reviews and Ratings
Staying at this hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were clean, spacious, and generally quiet, but the sound isolation was poor, allowing noise from neighboring rooms to disrupt my peace until late afternoon. The actual rooms didn't quite live up to the advertised photos. The service was exceptional; the staff went out of their way to help and provide useful advice for maximizing my stay in Patagonia. However, they were not very helpful when it came to arranging transportation to the airport. The location, although on the main street in El Calafate, was a bit of a distance from the main area with shops and restaurants. The dining was fabulous, but the breakfast started later than needed on the day of departure. Overall, the hotel offers great value for money.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The beautiful panoramic view of Lago Argentino was a highlight, but the small rooms and lack of temperature control were drawbacks. I also found the need for American style electric plugs inconvenient.
My stay at the hotel was fantastic! The rooms were super clean and incredibly comfortable, making it easy for me to relax. The staff members were very helpful and friendly, creating a welcoming atmosphere. However, the dining options were a bit limited, especially the hot dishes. The location of the hotel was perfect, allowing easy access to the main Avenue and the National Park. The hotel offered good value for the money, but it would have been ideal if Wi-Fi was included without an additional fee.
