Comfortable Bedroom Stay

I stayed in a standard double room with a stunning view of the lake. The bed was comfortable which made for a good night’s rest. While the decor was somewhat dated, it was tidy and contained all the essentials I needed for a pleasant stay.

Basic Bathroom Facilities

The bathroom was simple and functional, although it had a slightly older look. It had everything I required, including good water pressure. My experience was satisfactory, as it served its purpose without major issues.

If you're just looking for the essentials, this hotel will fit the bill. I found it to be a bit noisy, especially being close to the road, and the restaurant didn't impress me with its limited flavor options. It's also quite a trek from the main city, and there aren't bikes or shuttles available, so be ready to walk a lot if you stay here.

Rooms

The rooms were basic and a bit noisy due to thin walls and outside traffic.

This hotel offers a reasonable price and has nice public areas to relax, making it a decent base for exploring the town. However, the rooms could use more power outlets, and the breakfast options are limited. The dining scene in town is good, but the hotel restaurant could improve as well.

I found this hotel to be a decent base for exploring El Calafate. The price was reasonable for what you get, and while the public areas were quite nice, the rooms left a bit to be desired with scarce power outlets. The breakfast was simple with limited choices, and the available dining options in town were numerous. Just don’t expect too much from the dining experience here, as it was pretty basic.

Rooms

The rooms were okay but lacked sufficient power outlets for charging devices, which was frustrating.

Service

The service was generally satisfactory, but I wouldn't say it was exceptional.

Location

It's located on the western edge of town, meaning it's not the most convenient for city activities, and walking to the center can be a trek.

The public areas of the hotel were pleasant and offered a nice place to unwind, though the restaurant could have been better.

5.8/10

My stay at this hotel was a mixed bag. On the positive side, it offers a decent price for a stay on the outskirts of town and has nice public areas where you can unwind. However, the rooms could really use more power outlets, and I found the breakfast options rather basic. If you're looking for more variety, the dining scene in town is quite good.

Rooms

The rooms were okay, but I often had to hunt for power outlets to charge my devices.

Service

I found the service to be average; nothing stood out, but everything functioned as expected.

Location

It's located on the outskirts of town, which means be prepared to walk if you want to explore downtown or grab dinner.

Dining

Breakfast was okay but chosen from only three set options, making it feel a bit limited.
