El Calafate Hotels with Airport pickup service

We had a wonderful stay at this hotel! Nice room with balcony. The staff was extremely accommodating. I am a psychotherapist and needed a private space at one point during my stay to have a session with a client who was in crisis. They were able to provide me that space and were quite sympathetic. It was easily walkable to town each day, and we had no problem arranging a tour to take us to the glacier. For an extra charge, the hotel was able to provide us a very nice lunch for the time that we were at the glacier. We dined in the restaurant for dinner two of the nights, and both experiences were wonderful. The food was top-notch for dinner, and the cocktails were also superb! The breakfast each morning, which I believe was included, was absolutely delicious! There were a lot of healthy options provided. I would also like to highly recommend the medical facility that was quite close to the hotel, TMSALUD. I had an issue with my knee and got in quickly to have a consult with Dr. Gimenez, who was INCREDIBLE! Overall, I would absolutely recommend this hotel not only for the accommodations, but for location to all the attractions nearby.

A modest aging property located in the small town of Califate that provides a convenient base for exploring the nearby lake and natural wonders. It looks quite stately from the lobby and exterior but the rooms and especially the bathrooms are long over due for an upgrade. We stayed for two nights at the end of January as part of a tour to visit glaciers and national parks. We stayed in a king room on the 2nd floor. While perfectly clean and comfortable it was definitely a step down from other hotels on this trip-comparable to a mid-scale spot in the US. Like other area hotels in Patagonia, there is no Ac due to the normally cool climate and heat is provide via antiquated radiators. Luckily there was a large sliding window to open but without any cross ventilation or fan to move air, the room felt stuffy. The small bathroom was at least 20 years old with outdated fixtures like the tub/shower combo and a tiny single sink with antiquated faucet and sputtering water pressure. Bath amenities were also very basic. Breakfast was included and while there were many selections, items were largely packaged and canned foods set out like canned pears, cold cuts, and processed meats and cheese. As I said, despite the woeful lack of creature comforts, as a place to crash for a couple of nights it was perfectly adequate.

The Design Suite Hotel is exactly what it is called. It is a very design and very beautiful hotel. It should be the best view hotel in Calafate to see the Lake of Argentina. Each room has a whole window overlooking the lake. While slowly admiring the beautiful lake view, snow peaks, blue sky and white clouds. The restaurant is very beautiful, the breakfast is rich, the taste is good, the service is very warm, and the English is very good. It is very intimate that you can order a lunch set on the glacier hike, and there are oversized sandwiches, apples, water, chocolate pie, and energy bars, which are very worthwhile. Walk along the lake to the town center in about half an hour, and also pass through the wetland park. There are buses to and from the airport to pick up and drop off, following the bus is equivalent to a day trip to the town! All in all, very good value for money.

We stayed at the Boutique Hotel La Cantera in El Calafate for 3-nights in mid-Oct, two nights while visiting the Perito Morena Glacier and one night after returning from a visit to Ushuaia and before taking the bus to Chile ($120 US/night). The hotel is on a hill 5-blocks above main street (with all of the restaurants, shops), so a car is an asset; however, for those without, they offer an evening shuttle with a local taxi for less than $1. Plenty of free parking is available. The hotel is in two buildings, each on its own terrace. Our superior doubles were on the upper terrace in the building with reception and the restaurant. Both were spacious, although one had a large entry area and more plush furnishings. There was a king bed with side tables, an open cabinet for clothes, safe, mini-refrigerator, TV, and two chairs and a table by the window with a view of the lake over the front building. It was fronted by a terrace with some lawn furniture that was accessible by going through the lobby or simply stepping out over the low-silled window. We didn't use it, though, because of the howling, cold wind at this time of year. The room was heated by a sub-floor system with no controller in the room; we found it too warm, so had to prop the window open at night. Breakfast was good, with a choice of eggs, fresh-squeezed orange juice, mimosas, and the regular ham, cheese, and baked items. The staff were friendly and helpful. They stored a bag for us while we were on our excursion to Ushuaia, and were helpful in arranging a taxi to get us to our 8 am bus to Chile. A pleasant and comfortable boutique hotel.

I would like to highly recommend Linda Vista and Linda the owner. We were family of five coming from Miami. The apartment is big, well equipped, and super clean. The breakfast is great and staff are efficient and nice like Linda. The service is truly unbelievable: anything we needed was successfully dealt with immediately no matter what was the time or request. Moreover, In terms of trips in the area Linda is so knowledgeable and helped us choose the ones that will be perfect for our family, and save us time online and booked for us whatever we wanted even in the same day without any extra costs and with excellent providers. When there was time for us to leave to Bariloche she found out we forgot our medicine. She immediately contacted us, and though we were in flight away she spent her own time, did everything she could to sent it to us and indeed though we could not find, she was able to locate someone who flew within a day to our location. This kindness and service is very rare and needs to be cherish. We enjoyed our stay very much. It felt like home away from home, and we could not recommend enough Linda vista.

Ubicado a poca distancia del centro, 5 minutos andando. Las camas muy comodas, habitación con baño privado con ducha muy grande, instalaciones limpias. Amplio salon comedor muy bonito con unas vistas muy lindas para ver la puesta de sol. Destacar la amabilidad de el personal y predisposición para ayudar, aconsejar en todo, les doy un 10. Muy contenta con las estancia, sin duda repetiría.

Stayed for 3 nights in 2 rooms. Wifi was adequate. Breakfast was from 6:30-1AM - more like a continental breakfast but they did offer scrambled eggs. It was a bit tricky regulating the water temperature - hot/cold dials - but water pressure was adequate. No screens on the windows so if you open them to moderate temperature, you could get a fly or two. Housekeeping was solid. Front desk was helpful (restaurant recommendations, booking a taxi to the airport, confirming our excursion pickup). You will most likely be out early in the morning and back in the evening to clean up before heading into town for dinner. As a result, your time in your room is nominal - just to sleep and that's about the best way to get through your stay. If you come during the holidays. expect to pay holiday sized rates!

Large hostel close to bus terminal has a lot of information for travellers and can arrange morning bus excursion to Perito Moreno glacier for you. Friendly and helpful staff. Uber clean areas throughout. Personal power points  and light at each bunk plus large slide out storage underneath that you can lock with your own device. Never need to wait for toilet or shower as they have large bathrooms with 6 cubicles and 7 showers for men and I presume for women. Decent breakfast of many types of breads with jam, cakes, cereal, cut fruit, juices and coffee & tea. Had to pay extra for towel. Curtains around each bunk would stop the bright light from one bunk disturbing person in opposite bunk. The images for men and women on bathroom signage are similar. I had to look twice  and a girl ended up in the men's shower room when I was there.

To be honest, given the affordable price we had low expectations- but this was nice than our accommodations in much more expensive establishments! Great service, a fun atmosphere, clean and extensive facilities, large rooms. It does get a bit noisy at night but that's to be expected.

Beautiful clean and modern rooms, finished to perfection! The receptionists were very helpful with everything I.e early check in, booking tours, airport taxi’s and general advice Also in a fantastic location. 15 minute walk to a Laguna and 10 minute walk into the main town. Highly recommend this place to anyone - couples, families or groups! Exactly what we needed for a few days here ☺️
