Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
It is a humble little hotel, but really comfortable and very convenient, it is very clean, clean bedsheets and pillows with no smells, clean bathroom with very good exhaust fan, really friendly people, and overall, very centric but very quite and peaceful at same time. We slept incredibly good! It is also very close to a beautiful área where you can go bike or walk and see the lake, with lot of nature, just on the next street. Be prepared to pay 10%extra if paying with card, as it is everywhere in town. Better if you bring dollars around, unfortunately argentinian pesos suffer really hard from devaluation/inflation.

Funcional - buena relación precio/ubicacion

Es un lugar muy practico. Ubicado a 5-8 min caminando en plano de la zona principal, ya que está sobre la calle principal. La habitación limpia. Desayuno funcional (pan, un poco de fruta, cafe, jugo, té), pero puedes comprar y preparar lo tuyo ya que tiene un pequeño mini-refri en el cuarto

Hotel muy cómodo y limpio, excelente ubicación sobre la calle principal pero lo suficientemente lejos del centro para descansar sin ruido. Está justo al lado de una verdulería donde encuentras de todo, desde productos de higiene que hayas olvidado hasta sandwiches para tu vianda si vas a hacer senderismo. Cerca de excelentes restaurantes, La Lechuza y Pura Vida recomendadísimos. La recepción no es 24 horas, pero dentro de los horarios en los que opera siempre encontramos a alguien disponible. La calefacción y el agua caliente funcionan perfecto, muy reconfortante si vuelves de un día frío y lluvioso del Calafate y sus hermosos alrededores.
