Quiet hotel in a convenient area

The hotel is very conveniently located one street away from the Main Street, and yet it is very quiet, which we enjoyed. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. The bathrooms could be a little cleaner though, and the breakfast options more varied. Nonetheless it is a good place to stay. We had a rental car and could easily park it on the street for free, right in front of the hotel.

Great staff and location. Room not.

The staff is the best thing going here as is the location. My room had plaster coming off the wall and pretty cruddy grout in the bath. There is no AC, no tv, no safe, no kleenex which is a problem if you have allergies. One towel per person, modest breakfast (eggs are an upcharge) but a great dinner menu and service with live music. Again, great staff and location.

A little gem in El Calafate; nicest staff ever

We were delighted with Kau Kaleshen. It's a sweet little haven in busy El Calafate. The courtyard is lovely, with large birds walking around and the world's best hotel cat lounging around. Our room was not large but was comfortable and perfect for our needs and there were other spaces for us to enjoy in the courtyard, out front, and in the community living area. Allie, Franco, and Lionel were so helpful in answering all our questions and helping us to arrange transportation, even on a busy holiday. I'm so pleased to leave a 5-star review. We look forward to returning some day!
A great place to rest after several days trekking in the mountains. Note the big bird on the roof!

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.

Overall this accommodation is a decent place to rest your head for the night. The rooms are decent. Not many thrills or frills. The breakfast was limited but not bad. The front desk staff were really nice. Parking would be outside the property.

Disappointed overall. The most noisy of all properties. They're renovating but will not block rooms, we had no choice but to put up with the noise thorough out. The breakfast was the same, cold and same throughout. No hot water in the shower. Just not a good stay, rather be elsewhere

This hotel has a great potential. Pro: Prime location. About 30 mins walk from the bus terminal. 15 mins walk to lake nimez. Beautiful property with a courtyard. Friendly staff and very helpful. Clean and comfortable bed. Provided 2 firmness of pillow. Con: Drain at the shower didn’t work properly. Water at the shower raised to the level of the back of my feet within 30 sec( when I was testing the right temperature for the shower) I reported it to the staff after the first night and I saw him brought a repairman to tried to fix it but during my 3 nights there. The problem didn’t resolve. Walls between rooms are extremely thin that you can easily hear the whole conversation from the next room. I would highly recommend to bring your ear plugs. Breakfast was very basic which I think they could still keep the cost down by simply displaying the limited options better. (Buffet style) Had a hard time finding a clean table for breakfast if I come at the later time (8:30am-9am) Would love to stay here again if they could fix those issues. (Especially the shower)

Pass. It’s definitely a cute concept and very pretty on the outside. However… The rooms are so run down and pretty bad. My room had a toilet that never stopped running. I let front desk know and their solution was for me to open the top and pull up the lever each time I flushed. The next day, they said it was fixed. It wasn’t. I actually think they did not really send someone to fix it. The shower doesn’t drain while you are showering. I had water higher than my ankles, gross. I had to wash my feet in the bathroom sink after my shower. The shower also had a lot of mold. The towels are course and thin. There were SEVERAL parts of the wall of the room where the paint had lifted. The key is an old school skeleton key which was very pretty but huge and not practical. I would have liked an interior lock on the door, even though I know El Calafate is an extremely safe place. The breakfast was not fresh. I could not bring myself to eat the breakfast. The young lady at breakfast had such a bad attitude at all times. The front desk attendants were very, very nice and helpful. There are beautiful gardens all around the hotel. The hotel is in a prime location, walkable to some many stores and restaurants. We rented a car and parking was free and easy.

Great value for the price

Staff was excellent. Dinner at their restaurant was also excellent; great food and service. Very nice location near the main street. Rooms clean but a little small. Bed confort was only ok. Internet was slow. Would stay there again.
