The cutest rustic and homey hotel. The property is gorgeous and within walking distance from the downtown area as well as the bus station (took the bus to El Chaltén from here). Room was simple but clean and well cared for with a decent sized shower in the bathroom. The included breakfast was very good and I particularly enjoyed the orange juice and coffee. I truly do not think I could have picked a better place to stay and would highly recommend Picos del Sur for anyone staying in El Calafate

Rather dated hotel, basic room, good views, parking available and a short walk to the town. Not the best hotel, seemed to be popular with tour groups. Breakfast ok but not a great variety of healthy options.
