Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The shower was leaking and we were getting up very early and leaving very late , so we did not have a chance to get another room, since no one was at the reception. There was also stinky rubber rug on the floor, which did not absorb any moisture, which kept rotting. The sink is tiny, letting all the water spill. They asked us to leave the key at the front desk, and all key were there on display, while there were a lot of times, that there was no one at the reception. They are also charging an extra fee if you leave "stains" on the towels - pretty odd.

The man who runs the place is unpleasant. The place is old and has a smell of an old unventillated house. The furnitures are old and unmaintained, the sliding doors of the closet need to be moved with force, the safe box has no key, the is no one to help with the suitcase ( there is no elevator) , the is no hot water in the bathroom sink, the is no glass to use while washing teeth, only small jars. since the is no mini fridge in the room I asked the owner to put my sandwich in his refrigerator - he did so under protest. He was angry with me for not buying their overpriced lunch box. I would stay awY from this place.

Fabulous stay at South B&B, El Calafate

We had a great stay at South B&B in El Calafate. The place is conveniently located close to town and with easy access to all the shops and restaurants within a short walking distance to the Main Street. The breakfast served at the hotel each morning was super fabulous. We had a great time at this hotel.
