Find the Cheap El Calafate Hotels

Very basic hotel. We had planned our trip late and this was the only room in town we could book for the week of New Years. We had one issue when on New Years Eve after an all day hike they locked us out of our room (extremely unprofessional, rude and aggressive) in order to have us move into another room to do repairs. Imagine on New Years Eve before getting ready for a holiday: pack all your stuff and move!! When I asked for a discount for the inconvenience they decided they didn't need to repair anything.... Otherwise the hotel was again basic and if not very bare of furnishings, bare floors and walls. Breakfast gets a C grade.

The Design Suite Hotel is exactly what it is called. It is a very design and very beautiful hotel. It should be the best view hotel in Calafate to see the Lake of Argentina. Each room has a whole window overlooking the lake. While slowly admiring the beautiful lake view, snow peaks, blue sky and white clouds. The restaurant is very beautiful, the breakfast is rich, the taste is good, the service is very warm, and the English is very good. It is very intimate that you can order a lunch set on the glacier hike, and there are oversized sandwiches, apples, water, chocolate pie, and energy bars, which are very worthwhile. Walk along the lake to the town center in about half an hour, and also pass through the wetland park. There are buses to and from the airport to pick up and drop off, following the bus is equivalent to a day trip to the town! All in all, very good value for money.

Overall the Hotel was nice but when we first checked in the room they assigned to us was facing the dusty parking lot with no view whatsoever except the cars. When asked to be moved to another room, the morning reception person would only give us another room at an addition US $20 per night. The hotel did not appear to be fully booked so we surprised at this request but reluctantly agreed. Upon checking out, the same morning receptionist, she charged us twice for the bottles of water we consumed and in our rush to get the taxi did realize this unit l later. Other than the morning Reception person our stay was good. On the contrary, the evening Reception was much more helpful and pleasant.

The location is very nice. It is just a few squares from the center, but the views all worth. Although to reach the center walking down is heavy, the wearing is even more. But considering you down once a day there is no problem. The hotel is very friendly and comfortable. We stayed several hours in the chairs waiting for the transport to return and super comfortable What is all to mention but it's all the calafate, is that hotels let you check in at 14 and the flight arrives at 7am. All these hours are Tremenda. We used to take advantage and we went on the same day of excursion on the ice. But bear in mind. Because the return is to sleep

Excellent location, very close to the main avenue where all the restaurants, shops, coffees, bars are located. Staff was very very friendly and helpful. In my opinion the breakfast could offer more fruits, honey and eggs. And the checkout time could be later…. 10:00AM is too early for a checkout.

A great value for money! We loved this place, it was cosy and the staff was super friendly! We saw the pink flamingos next to the hotel thanks to their recommendation! Very convenient - a 10-minute walk from the city centre! We would highly recommend! They also propose packed lunches!

A modest aging property located in the small town of Califate that provides a convenient base for exploring the nearby lake and natural wonders. It looks quite stately from the lobby and exterior but the rooms and especially the bathrooms are long over due for an upgrade. We stayed for two nights at the end of January as part of a tour to visit glaciers and national parks. We stayed in a king room on the 2nd floor. While perfectly clean and comfortable it was definitely a step down from other hotels on this trip-comparable to a mid-scale spot in the US. Like other area hotels in Patagonia, there is no Ac due to the normally cool climate and heat is provide via antiquated radiators. Luckily there was a large sliding window to open but without any cross ventilation or fan to move air, the room felt stuffy. The small bathroom was at least 20 years old with outdated fixtures like the tub/shower combo and a tiny single sink with antiquated faucet and sputtering water pressure. Bath amenities were also very basic. Breakfast was included and while there were many selections, items were largely packaged and canned foods set out like canned pears, cold cuts, and processed meats and cheese. As I said, despite the woeful lack of creature comforts, as a place to crash for a couple of nights it was perfectly adequate.
