Hotel Pemandangan Gunung di El Calafate

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.

A lovely hotel with great amenities and friendly, helpful staff. Great base for visiting all El Calafate‘s wonders. Excellent shuttle service to and from town which has a good choice of restaurants and bars. Hotel is ideally located with a heated indoor pool.

Stayed here as part of an Inspiring Vacations tour. It isn't the type of place you want to stay if on a tour and wanting to see the destination city. Design Suites Calafate is technically I guess in Calafate, but in reality is located about 7km from the part of town as a tourist you'll want to go to and spend most of your day at, or even as someone who is hungry and wants to buy either a meal or just a bottle of soft drink or snack from a shop. There are no shops whatsoever in the vicinity of Design. It's one of those places where if you gave someone directions those directions include turn off the paved road. I did walk into ”town” the first day of my stay, you walk down a lot of dirt roads, there's some derelict houses between you and the tourist area (I never felt unsafe at all), as well as plenty of newer houses, hotels and lots of buildings under construction. In fact the great view which is the number one thing this place has going for it, I think if you came back in five years, would be completely different. But at the moment you get a great view from your room (if you get one facing Lake Argentina) or from the dining room and other common rooms. It's nice but it's like a painting, it never really changes. For me I'd rather walk 7kms to see a nice view, stay there for long enough to take it in, then go back to my accommodation where the main town/tourist area is. You really need a car if you're staying here, although they do have to free scheduled shuttle drop offs and pickup times, although they are not very convenient times so I never used it. Room comes with breakfast which is a buffet serve yourself what you want from a couple of tables. Juice, various sliced bread to toast, fruit, cereals, pastries. There were scrambled eggs and on the first day these weird bacon fat things. The second day some little frankfurt things were mixed in with the bacon fat. I preferred it without them. The staff were always quite friendly and helpful. Room was a decent size, two beds had been pushed together to form a double, the second night kind of noticed the gap as you sort of fall in between them. But it was comfortable. These weird leather women's purse type pillows were on the bed and were very uncomfortable along with great normal ones. An odd collection of wires hung above the bed for some reason. Was it art? I don't know. Bathroom toilet was excellent. Shower unfortunately was in a bath tub. No need for a shower curtain with how it was designed. The wash your hands basin though was too shallow. Like the depth of a dinner plate. Walls were really thin, you could here everything that was being said by the loud talker in the room next door.

Hotel is made of cardboard. Walls super thin and there is zero control of other guests. I know it’s hard to control but when other guests leave their door Ld open and party in the halls come on!?! At least Daniel at front desk moved us. Some runs have micro safes and barely any room to put anything incl a laptop. No hot water one morning. Fun taking a shower. Mattresses were poor and warped. Breakfast was pretty lousy. Pool and spa looked okay. Dirt, dusty road to walk to downtown. Do not get a room on first floor. Workers loom in you room and can’t leave window open for some fresh air since no A/C. Hard pass.

En estas vacaciones en el Calafate, nos alojamos en este Hermoso Hotel. Cuenta con todos los servicios necesarios para una muy buena estadía en la ciudad. Las habitaciones son muy cómodas y la limpieza es muy buena. Cuenta con restaurant y servicio de Buffet. Eso si, este Hotel,se encuentra un poco alejado del centro de Calafate, por lo que no se puede ir caminando. Tiene un parque muy bueno y un Deck para poder disfrutar del Sol. El estacionamiento es al aire libre en un playon frente al Hotel.

O hotel está num local privilegiado, com vista para o Lago Argentino. Café da manhã diversificado e gostoso. Pessoal solicito e acolhedor, o hotel tem três horarios de taxi gratuito para levar os hospedes que desejarem ir para o centro, a volta fica por conta do hospede. Muito limpo e arrumado.
