Aside from its' central location and nice enough staff, nothing was really good about this place. 3-4 floors with no elevator - instead you had to carry your luggage up vary narrow wooden staircases; the beds in the room were even narrower and very shaky - I was worried I would be constantly falling throughout the night. Breakfast was a... More

Well located right next to the central street and on the way to the bus station - though at a comfortable distance from the noisy spots. The room we got as a couple had a double bed and 2 single ones, so it could suit a family. The staff was nice to accomodate our requests, like when I asked them... More

The bedspreads which are used as blankets too were disgustingly dirty. I do not know how many men have spermed on them... I asked them to change the blankets but they did not. Bathrooms were ok though...

This is a good value hotel close to the center and the bus terminal. The bedd were hard and the room a bit tired, but it was actually cheaper than the hostels and a much better location. Wi Fi was good in the lounge weak in the rooms. Our thanks to the staff and owners who let us wait in... More

I agree with the other reviewers saying that the rooms are fairly basic for what you pay (we paid $64 for one night at a weekend in January), but i think this says more about how expensive El Calafate is compared to the rest of the country. i would recommend the hotel as a cheaper option with the nicer hotels...

Good value for the price. It's a very simple and comfortable place to stay at, very close to the main street. The breakfast could be better: we didn't get real milk, but powder milk. Very nice rooms, with a tiny bath, but OK for our needs. we surely recommend the place.

The hotel is located in a great spot with only a few minutes walk to the main street and hence all the restaurants. It is also only a few minutes to the bus station if you want to take the public bus to the glacier. The hosteria is clean and the people who run it are very helpful. Everything has... More

We stayed at this hotel in May and as another person reviewed it - it is a great value for under $50. Simple, but clean rooms. Very basic breakfast. Bus station was a 7 minute walk away. Restaurants and grocery store were right down the street. I would recommend this to anyone who is looking for a clean room in... More

Myself and a friend stayed here for 2 nights. The hosteria has a great location near the bus station and the main strip. We found the owners friendly. However, for hostel accommodation it was the most expensive for the most basic twin room that we stayed in. The beds were smaller than average and there was very little spare space... More

This hotel has good things going for it. It is relatively new, and located a block away from the main street in town. And that is important. The city has loud entertainment some nights that you can't miss on the main street. You can still hear the loudspeakers from inside these rooms, but you can sleep. I don't think you... More
