Hotel is only a few years old, so clean and in good shape. Breakfast was OK, not a huge variety. Staff spoke good English and were helpful. They have a pickup/dropoff arrangement with a local laundry, which we used. It was fairly convenient though a bit pricey. Hotel is on the upper level of El Calafate, above the crowded streets of the main tourist area, which makes it quieter but a bit too far to walk to restaurants.

Destino Calafate was a pleasant surprise for the decent, economical pricing they had! The hotel room was spacious, we as a family of 4 had plenty of room with 3 beds in the room. There are a lot of storage space and shelf’s which made it convinient to store all our luggage’s. We initially only planned to stay 2 nights , however due to the comfort and convenience of this hotel and staff being so courteous and welcoming , we decided extend ti 4 nights instead of staying in el chalten. El calafate in general is a central location to several places like el chalten , a Torres del Paine , Perito Moreno glacier etc and there are daily bus tours to al these places available and they can pick you up from destino calafate.
