Hotel Dengan Pengambilan dari hotel di Santa Cruz, Argentina

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.

Very courteous front desk people. Most of them spoke English. The room was mostly comfortable. The bathroom was a little cramped, but this seems to be the norm in this area. They allowed us to leave our bags in the front desk area for a few hours. The breakfast was pretty amazing.

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 ☺️

Off course opinions vary, I know. Our expirience was not that great. On the positive side, rates are interesting compared to other ho(s)tels. Laundry service is nice. But that's pretty much it. The expression 'when you pay peanuts, you get...' exists for a reason. That everything is basic comes with a cheap hostel. But some things are a bit too basic, like for instance the matrass. Isolation is literally zero, aspecially when you are sleeping roadside. Earplugs is a must, and even then you have to be lucky to get some sleep. Enough people will call the breakfast simple but sufficient, or something like that. But it's hard to call slices of bread to toast and orange parts sufficient. And to conclude with; I guess you could say staff is friendly, but apart from that pretty incompetent.

This is an average place. It’s not bad but not good either. The Wi-Fi was worthless, took us an hour to book a stay at our next destination because it kept dropping us or stalling. Others at the hotel indicated the same experience. Security is very lacking here. The management requires that you leave the key if you are leaving the building. However, the process of retrieving or leaving your key is simply to do it yourself with no staff verifying that the correct key is taken. Cleanliness at breakfast is also lacking. The staff wear latex gloves. But these are only to protect their hands, not your food. I say this because the staff wear the gloves while they prepare food, handle luggage, or pet the neighborhood cat or dog that comes to visit - all with the same gloves. Besides these complaints, the rooms are comfortable and the staff are helpful and nice. I preferred other places in town but in a pinch, this place is workable.

Great and attentive service. Place was safe and good location to get to downtown. Tours pick up from hotel.

the service and staff are excellent. The facilities are very comfortable and clean. Highly, highly recommended. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We’ve stayed lots of places but this was personally one of my all time favorites. The rooms were spacious and clean with a nice sitting area. The breakfast was more than adequate with eggs to order and plenty of coffee, fruit, pastry, yogurt and cereals. The drinks at the bar were great and reasonably priced. Try the pisco sour with the Calafate liquor. I hate to admit it but we were so tired from hiking that venturing out to another restaurant in town was not appealing but dinner choices varied from fish to beef to pasta and everything we ate was delicious. There is a small spa area downstairs and we used the jacuzzi. Finally staff was extremely helpful and most pleasant. I wouldn’t take the chance in going elsewhere

This hotel offers basic accommodation, there are no frills, but it is a great base to explore El Calafate town. They have a delicious breakfast with an extensive selection. There is also a steam room, sauna and jacuzzi. This has to be pre-booked and you are only allocated a 30 minute slot so it’s a bit of a whirlwind but great none the less after a long day out in the cold at the glaciers. If your main aim is to be outdoors and explore the glaciers rather than relaxing at a luxurious hotel then I would recommend this hotel.

The reviews are accurate other than the one outlier that says it is the best place ever ! An ok hotel. Too hot and no air con ( they did provide a fan ). Pillows lumpy . Bed comfortable. Reception nice. Bar mostly unmanned and a trauma when they find someone. Breakfast ran out of bacon. The begrudgingly made some more. Prior day was cold. At dinner we wanted a burger ( on the bar menu ) but the bar was empty and unmanned so we asked to have it in the restaurant ( which was mostly empty ). Yes fine. Next person comes along. 2 burgers please. You can only order that at the bar. Mouth dropped. They did in the end agree. It is 10 min to town which has a nice selection of restaurants. 15 min back uphill so not a quick pop out to eat out after a long excursion. It is provably the best option in town but I would prefer a lesser option closer to the centre as the walk is quite lengthy. The glacier is worth a visit.

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.

We booked a two bedroom apartment and it was excellent. Large size apartment with everything that you’d expect from an apartment style accommodation. Checkin was swift and service was great with very friendly staff. Calm, serene location with views of the spectacular Lago Argentino. Although the location is a little out of town, we had a rental car so this didn’t bother us.

Chalten Suites in the centre of El Chalten is more of an upmarket hotel more for people seeking comfort than just a place to throw a sleeping bag onto the floor. The rooms are quaint and spacious enough and the bathroom is fine. Water pressure in the shower is satisfactory. The bed is comfortable and the heating works as it should in such a cold place. The included breakfasts were excellent, especially to charge your body up for a long hike. The staff are extremely helpful and do go out of their way to try to ensure your stay goes well. They will organise shuttles to walks and offer advice for those unfamiliar with the local attractions. When the lovely receptionist mentions a shorter walk to Laguna Capri, ignore that and go with the longer walk option (see review on Chalten walks). There are only a few negatives for the hotel. Top of the list is the poor Wi-Fi, which is annoyingly unreliable. However, that could be a location problem for the whole town. That said, in all my weeks of travel throughout South America, this is the only place with bad Wi-Fi. Next is the cheap toilet paper, a silly thing really as it is so unnecessary. Especially when you have to use twice as much for the same job. Lastly, the restaurant in the hotel is limited. It has a nice ambience and good views but the menu is limited and lacking in national dishes. I paid $US200 per night and stayed 3 nights. For that fee, one would expect better internet. Overall, there aren’t many flash hotels in El Chalten and Chalten Suites does provide a necessary service for tourists rather than adventurers. As such, it is a very good option if travelling to this part of Patagonia. Check out my other reviews of places, hotels and experiences throughout South America.

Destino sur The location of this hotel is perfect. It’s really close to the start of the trailhead for the Laguna Del los Tres hike. We found that there weren’t very many nice hotel options in El Chalten so this was a good choice. The breakfast was great with lots of options to fuel yourself ahead of a long day of hiking. One disappointing part of the hotel was the Spa area. The pool was not very clean and the Fitness suite was seemed like it was just a bit of a tick box to get their stars. It was an incredibly small room with only cardio equipment; when you’re in one of the best locations for hiking in the world the last thing you’re gonna want to do in a hotel gym is cardio- would suggest replacing the Treadmill with some weights And stretching equipment instead.

We are incredibly happy with our 5nights stay at Poincenot! I had forgotten that we booked a twin bedroom so at check in, I was asking if they have a room with double beds instead, without really hoping for too much. The lady at reception actually went above and beyond, walked up and down & checked a few rooms for us, although in the end we needed to take the twin room which was fine. Breakfast was great everyday, not too much option but can get your morning going for sure. What I loved most was the housekeeping! They turned our bed down daily, kept our room nice and clean which was a joy to come back to after a long day hike. We put the twin beds together and the next day when we returned, they made it a double bed by adding some extra mattress, what a star! I would highly recommend this place - though it’s a bit of a walk from the bus station but you will be surrounded by restaurants and shops anyway.

This hotel was very clean and nicely decorated to make it welcoming and cozy. The front desk personal were very friendly and knowledgeable about the area. The breakfast consisted of sweet breads, jams, cereals, yoghurt, multi grain bread and hard boiled eggs. It was quite enjoyable and filling. The mattresses were very comfortable also. We made a great choice in selecting this hotel.
