This property is barely a three-star property and is very much overpriced for what it provides. It is in desperate need of modernization and updates to compete for even half the $220 that I paid.

Abaixo da expectativa

Foi uma estadia razoável mas não voltaria ao hotel. Colchões e almofadas não são muito confortáveis, fiquei preso dias vezes no elevador e a qualidade da comida do restaurante e bar é mediana. Café da manhã razoável.

The workers are really kind and helpful, they helped me find a last minute tour. The room was clean and the food in the restaurant is good. The only thing I didn’t love was the condition of the place, it might need some maintenance and renovation. But overall I would recommend a stay here.

Friendly and clean but location was a factor

The staff was friendly and helpful but the lack of air conditioning made the stay somewhat uncomfortable. Also, the location outside of town made it more difficult to enjoy the town of El Calafate.
