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.

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

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 Except their room key which is outdated, I hope they change to card key.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.

Overall, it was a comfortable stay at the hotel which was conveniently located near the bus terminal. Staff was friendly and responsive to queries on what to do in the surrounding area.
Areas of improvement include
1. Use of heavy room keys was an inconvenience
2. We had a early morning flight but reception did not open on time at 6:30 as stated so we couldn't check out properly (other guests on same flight faced the same issue despite hotel staff booking our taxis and knowing we had leave at 6:35)
3. Toiletries came in sachets which were difficult to use and were of average quality

Great room. Breakfast very good. Not soundproofed well so sound carried and echoed down corridors. Rooms very clean but floor needed a sweep daily

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.

They abandoned us at the airport. We arranged to have a taxi pick us up after our flights from BA and take us to the hotel. Our flight was delayed, but they assured us it was no problem. They’d take care of us. When we landed there was no taxi, and the front staff had already left for the night. They never gave us an emergency or after hours number. We were on our own. When we finally got to the hotel it was past midnight, and all of the kitchens at all of the restaurants had already closed.
They also seemed very willing to up-charge foreign tourists. $220 for a hotel-provided taxi to the park? $24 taxi from the airport? Don’t go through the hotel for anything arrange things on your own
Stay away!
