We had a lovely stay at Kau Kaleshen. The location is very convenient to the center of town and for any tour pick ups eg. We had a quick turn around with an early arrival from an AM flight before a glacier tour and Leonel at the front desk made everything seamless. He got us all set up, provided us with a charging converter, gave us a great breakfast rec, and kept our bags while getting our room ready way ahead of time (obviously not a guarantee but very nice and just shows that this type of smaller hotel really goes to personal lengths to optimize your stay if they can). The room was very comfortable and in great condition, the grounds were absolutely lovely. I highly recommend this stay and can’t say enough positive things about Leo.

The staff was great but the hotel needs to update linens and mattresses. They were rather old and stained.

Disliked: Cleanliness
The grounds and location are nice but the room should be cleaner. You could tell the room hadn’t been thoroughly cleaned in a long time. The sheets were very thin you could see the mattress underneath so thin I was worried it would tear. I found a lot of hair that wasn’t mine and the bathtub floor was slimy.

This was the perfect property to stay at during our visit to El Calafate. One block off the main road, so it is easy to walk to shops and restaurants. Loved how cozy this hotel was and the restaurant is excellent! Would stay here again.
