Staff was very courteous and helped us with luggage since we were on the second floor. The breakfast served in the morning had a decent variety of breads, pastries, cold cuts, deli cheese. the eggs and bacon were cooked to order. Some flaws: the rooms only have heaters not fans and we always run hot despite the cold climate so we slept with window open. The shower head had great pressure but the shower itself had poor insulation and therefore every time we showered the floor became a bit flooded Would still recommend it since a cute boutique hotel.

I really wanted to give this 5 stars but I can’t. The hotel is lovely, the rooms are great and the staff friendly. The downside. Payment. Despite having a booking which was “pay at property”, my payment was taken before I arrived using the card I’d used to hold the booking. This wasn’t checked with me. As a consequence they added an extra 15% (as per the t&cs for card payments). If I’d agreed to this AT THE PROPERTY it would have been fine but to have the payment taken in advance without checking so an extra 15% is added, isn’t right. They also deny any wrongdoing on this. I’d have paid in cash at the property but their actions didnt give me this choice.

This is one of the nicest places I have ever stayed. It's a boutique hotel with five-star service. Rosa and Matías and the other staff are phenomenal. They made us feel like family. The breakfast buffet is a huge and delicious spread. There are cafes and restaurants close by, but the street is quiet. It's a few minutes walk from the beautiful Nimez nature reserve. Truly, we did not want to leave this gem of a hotel. Calafate is a wonderful base to explore this area of Patagonia. It was a trip of a lifetime.

Staff was very nice. Rooms were clean, but basic. There were no amenities at the hotel. Basic breakfast was served. The best part of this hotel is an outstanding local guide — Mariano. We were beyond thrilled with Mariano and his expert knowledge of the area. An exceptional guide! Great personality and highly knowledgeable of the most important area attractions. Very experienced and goes out of his way to make every outdoor excursion the very best. Mariano is a true find!
