Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Clean, spacious room, perfect proximity to bus stop, easy and scenic walk to the main strip with all the shops and restaurants, and walkable to the boardwalk by the water too. Breakfast was easy and perfect (self serve toast, croissants, cereal, and eggs by request). Receptionists were very kind and helpful. I enjoyed my stay so much that I booked two more times. It’s simple yet modern. Felt like home to me.

You can’t sleep here. It’s super noisy. The bed is uncomfortable. I paid $100 a night and it was not worth it. The windows and walls are too thin and you can hear people farting and burping next door. The breakfast is horrible. Not worth paying more than $50 bucks.

Hotel is only a few years old, so clean and in good shape. Breakfast was OK, not a huge variety. Staff spoke good English and were helpful. They have a pickup/dropoff arrangement with a local laundry, which we used. It was fairly convenient though a bit pricey. Hotel is on the upper level of El Calafate, above the crowded streets of the main tourist area, which makes it quieter but a bit too far to walk to restaurants.
