El Calafate Hotel Guide - Hotels with WiFi Hotels in El Calafate, Argentina

The Good: Terrazas del Calafate boasts gorgeous views of Lago Argentino. The included buffet breakfast was a very nice spread and much more than we expected. The dining room was very light and pleasant. The staff was friendly and helpful in planning our excursions and giving directions. The bed was very comfortable (firm) and the towels were larger and thicker than normally found in hotels. The view from our room was lovely. The hotel was quiet, but we could hear people through the walls, so it depends upon your neighbours. Request a room on the same floor as reception for the best view. The Bad: I selected this hotel because it scored very high in terms of cleanliness. There were other people's hair in the bathroom when we arrived. The room was a little run down. There are some details missing in terms of comfort such as only one glass in a double occupancy room and no tissues at all. We started with two bars of soap, one of which was removed and not replaced forcing us to use the same soap for the shower and our hands. There is inappropriate rock/ pop music being played during breakfast, which is grating first thing in the morning.

Nice facilities, not so professional staff. Good location

I was expecting a hotel room and I was surprised to find a beautiful cozy 2 floors cabin with excellent heat and services. It is very modest but clean and welcoming.

Friendly reception, great bus driver with tips for places to eat and convenience of shuttle service to and from town. Lively quiet view of lake large back yard extending to lake.

There were three things that detracted from an otherwise wonderful experience at this hotel. Firstly, the location on expedia was incorrect so I thought I was booking somewhere closer to the centre of town. Whilst a 15 min walk isn't too long, it feels like forever at the end of an exhausting day. Secondly, the room and bathroom were a bit small (had to organise my suitcase on the bed) and thirdly there were problems with the credit card machine so it was quite stressful knowing if we were going to be able to settle our bill as we didn't have much cash with us and the ATMs in town kept running out of cash). The above said, if you are travelling with a car the distance won't be an issue. And if you don't have a car then make sure you book into the restaurant when you make your reservation so that you don't have to walk into town for a meal at the end of a tiring day! The restaurant is closed Sundays but open other days. It is a set meal and appears to vary nicely from day to day so you could eat there every night and not get sick of the food. There is also complimentary afternoon tea which is a nice touch!

The hotel is a 10 minute ride outside of town, with easy access via taxi or their own shuttle. It is an up to date facility, with a large dining area that overlooks lago Argentina. There is also a bar with a nice seating area to hang out. Otherwise, there is not much to do on premises. The rooms are on the smaller side, but are clean and have the basic requirements. I think the best part of the hotel were the staff who were very helpful in assisting with issues or getting tours and the like.

Had only one night, but really enjoyed it. Big rooms, clean, hot water, good breakfast and good wifi. Can't complain about anything and would stay there again.

Very good location, nice room and facilities, friendly and helpful staff.
