A comfortable stay
Reviewed By B0B0chanWe stayed at a private double room with a big and comfortable bed. Very warm inside the room with the heat on. Room is clean. Breakfast is good. Location is good for those using the bus terminal, walking distance. A little bit far from the town Centro but still manageable on foot. Staff is friendly and helpful. Highly recommended. P.S. the hotel also has apartments which seems nice also.

Ideal El Calafate Hotel
Reviewed By caicosboundThis is a fantastic find in El Calafate. Ideally positioned hotel in the middle of town and next door to our favorite restaurant. The hotel is elegant, rooms are modern and very comfortable, included breakfast is phenomenal, and the hosts couldn't be more friendly. One of the proprietors is also a local Guide and can arrange personalized tours that I believe will be preferred to the larger tour groups. I highly recommend this boutique hotel.

Reviewed By Rajputana76Stayed 2 nights here during our visit to the Patagonia region. The hotel is 10 min walk from the hub of all shops and restaurants. El Calafate is a cute and hilly location and small. The hotel room was large and comfortable. The breakfast could do with more options

4.5/5 Friendly warm welcome,plush,well equipped,not enough bedroom sockets, plain sweet breakfast with instant coffee.
Reviewed By MikeLondonSE16-17/1/19 We three British middle aged guys were trying to get as far south as possible in our month in Argentina but were delayed by a dental emergency (not helped by wholly sweet breakfasts everywhere) and strained back for one of us unfortunately. The lack of car hire (one company cancelled our reservation), bookable coaches and reasonably priced accommodation meant that we had to plan (taking almost whole days out of relaxing and sightseeing) almost a day ahead both accommodation and transport almost simultaneously, which restricted options. As a result in Comodoro Rivadavia (on Tuesday) we booked a six hour coach from there for Wednesday 16/1 (planning to arrive at PSJ at 12:07) and immediately book this HCDK which had increased suddenly from 2000 (on Monday) to 2546 for the Tuesday and 3500 for the Wednesday nights! We had no option as it was the only Tuesday night accommodation available (other more expensive places seen on Monday had filled up). Our budget was being stretched and timetable limited. On Tuesday we arrived at the CR bus station as advised at 17:40. The coach eventually arrived (from far away) at 18:40 and left at 18:50 (fifty minutes late). We had let this hotel know we would be late anyway (but not that late!) We eventually arrived at PSJ at 00:45 (no food or drink provided as they were in our last trip of 2007), hurried out and walked a brisk 10 minutes in the (relative to CR) cold night to the hotel. The proprietress was waiting patiently in the reception (probably used to late arrivals) and showed us straight to our room which turned out to be a very warm apartment at the back so this was a motel in effect as there were plenty of parking spaces. We entered the warm sitting room with a kitchenette. This was THE BEST place we had stayed at so far, but were due to check out ten hours later after sleep and breakfast! I was rather annoyed as to our having landed in this situation at great expense (the whole holiday was turning out to be draining our budget fast with two weeks left!). In general the apartment was perfect as it was clean, large and had a fully equipped kitchen including a 5l water dispenser, coffee (instant), hot chocolate, varieties of tea and mate, powdered milk, sugar (of course) and sweeteners provided with an electric kettle, toaster, fridge, combi microwave, lots of cutlery, glasses and crockery. A gas wall mounted heater was on full so I turned it off. There was also a battery powered fresh smell dispenser thingy high up over the sink that puffed freshness into the room; this was not our style and it actually caught me by surprise as I was washing up and stung my eyes. The large lounge/dining room had sofas, dining table with chairs, breakfast bar strip, a 36 inch wall mounted LED TV (all Argentinian, mostly digital channels), lots of lighting, cupboard and drawers. Two electric sockets were at the rear of the main kitchen surface, none others were found. The bedroom had a double and single bed with three pairs of towels. A gas wall mounted heater was blazing away which I turned down (it was nice the management had made us feel warm and welcome), a 17inch wall mounted LED (not tested but presumably the same as the lounge), a wardrobe with eight hangers (hurrah hurrah as the most ever provided with so far!), bedside tables between and beside the bed with independent switchable bedside lamps. There were just about enough sockets to keep our devices active and charged overnight, with one socket hidden behind the wardrobe which I had to move to access, revealing a dusty corner, so not as immaculate as some visitors have suggested. The bathroom had a short bath with shower/foot washer/bath filler combi tap, central lamp, two switchable bright lamps over the mirror with toiletries and spare loo paper). The glass shelf got in the way of rinsing my face after shaving and the water pressure/tap was not good for jetting out razors. I did both in the kitchen sink. A shower curtain, hair drier and switchable extraction fan were present. Two sockets were available, one by the sink, another by the door light switch. The wifi in the room was not working (endless mozzarella pizza of doom whirling) on all our devices so we reverted to our 3G SIMs for net access (bought for situations like these). At breakfast the wifi in the dining room/reception also did not work, the staff had no idea of how to reboot the hubs or routers so we reverted to 3G again. At 01:45 we heard what sounded like a motorbike revving aggressively very close. I ventured out in my bare feet into the drive to see (presumably) boy with his toy car burning front wheel rubber on the speed bump at the junction. Clouds of smoke covered the road and eventually he noisily sped off toward the main road. Later on his friends in less noisy but significant toys were cruising around town. Oh well. As we went to sleep some local dogs were barking (we had had encounters with three sets of guard dogs on our way there at night) so in went the ear plugs! After typing up TA reviews and planning and booking ahead we finally got to sleep at 02:45 having taken advantage of making up a basic soup with our own ketchup sachets and spices and their hot chocolate as a nightcap. An alcohol free evening for once in fact! We had breakfast between 09:40 and 10:40 (whilst logging onto 3G to book ahead) and the Spanish only staff were very friendly and offered us more (instant not fresh) coffee, medialunas etc. Toasted brioche, small wagon wheels and homemade jam were offered. Nothing savoury for our poor teeth though so breakfast (at that price but included) was a disappointment. After hastily packing we actually checked out five minutes late at 11:05 to walkto the bus station to book our way put again before transferring to Drake (which we booked two days ago as the cheapest available on this Wednesday night). I am finishing writing this review on the main road kerbside in the shade of Hotel Sada watching the occasional bored boys with their sawn-off-exhaust toys 'racing' past noisily. The only thing to brighten up the scene was a Santa in Coca Cola colours, his sled and reindeers at the dual carriageway road crossroads. As transport and accommodation was limited and difficult to arrange we gave up on our expectations of heading to Tierra Del Fuego and El Cam, despite our having a month in Argentina (ubiquitous sweet medialunas at breakfast causing dental problem slowed us down admittedly). This was the furthest south we would get, 49deg south, (not even comparable with London's 52deg north, oh well. This hotel/motel would have been 5/5 except that the last minute hike in prices, basic breakfast (no fresh coffee) and inflexible checkout time (to enjoy more of the luxury we had paid for after arriving very very late).

Bajamos a cenar y nos atendieron muy bien, con una charla amena, y una comida muy rica. No tuvimos tiempo de recorrer demasiado el pueblo , pero la ubicación , con respeto a la ruta es excelente y queda muy cerca de Río Turbio. El desayuno muy bien servido. Me alegro haberlos elegido.

Decent place but stay away
Reviewed By Avike54We stayed at Patagonia Suites for 2 nights. A mother and daughter seem to run the place. We met the daughter right at the beginning where she explained that she didn't accept credit cards. This was a lie that she told all incoming guests. The reason being that if you don't pay with foreign credit card you pay 21% more for VAT. Thus the price went up from $110 to $133…! Great way to treat guests touring your country. Unfortunately they are not alone. Most view you as a money machine or meal ticket to be milked. The room was ok and the communal kitchen adequately stocked. The ppl who ran it just weren't very nice. Pics below communal kitchen, looking across the yard.

Friendly, all day so Room 1 by tea room so might get busy in high season. Clean and reasonable facilities
Reviewed By MikeLondonSE17-18/1/19 We three British middle aged guys were just over half way through our (second, first in 2007) month in Argentina. After a week's (dental emergency) delay in BA, transport, car hire unavailability and hotel booking problems, we finally got down south to this sleepy town but were unable to get to Rio Gallegos or El Calafate in our (rather late and frustrating) plans. We stayed our first very short night and morning in the lovely nearby Hosteria La Casa de Ketty, they were booked out the next night so we could only find this hotel this night for a reasonable price (we are on a budget - but it is ever expanding in this country so far!) After checking out of HLCdK at 11:10 we walked the ten blocks (past two sets of Santas and their sleighs) towards the harbour to find PdD on the corner. In we went at 12:25 and were greeted by a cheerful and friendly receptionist. She checked us in and gave us the key to room 1 right next to reception. In room 1 we found a double and two single beds with clean linen, bedspread and fresh pairs of monogrammed towels on each. Two bedside tables between the three beds with electric socket for devices behind one. There was a 32 inch wall mounted LED TV showing only Spanish TV. The wifi was consistent in the room. There was a small fridge with soft drinks and snacks which quietly hummed away to itself overnight and was not annoying (as some are and need to be switched off). The chest of drawers underneath had seen better days and was held together with extra internal L brackets. No wardrobe was present but a row of three hooks over the heater and two coat hangers were provided so ideal for drying (sink washed as we do) clothes out! There were two central flourescent lights and each bed had a switchable fluorescent reading lamp overhead. The bathroom has an actual medium sized new clean bath with two way shower/foot washer/bath filler shop. A shower curtain was also present. There were lights above the mirror over the sink, good for shaving. The bath had grab handles and was very comfortable in the morning (I am sure the TA summary checklist will appreciate this). There was a central heating radiator with a window above from which you could hang more clothes to dry. The sink has a mirror with two bright flourescent lights overhead so good for shaving. The water was under pressure at a certain flow rate and good enough for jetting out razors. We slept well after a day of wandering around town, Excursiones Pinocho boat trip to penguin island and Argensud Cultural drinking! Breakfast was one of the better ones we had met. By 09:30 it was deserted (although quite noisy earlier as Room 1 is next to it) so the three of us were uncrowded in the peace, save the small stereo in the corner playing relaxed folk music for once (not incessant pop on the TV). The friendly staff started clearing up at 10:10 as I was writing so I left. I am now editing adding and finishing off and submitting this review from The Touring Club Hotel in Trelew on the 19th (36degC outside). Please excuse the mix of tenses as I edit what I wrote at the time! We left our bags yesterday after 11 checkout in the utility room so we could explore the remaining attractions and eat lunch and a pizza later. The proprietress was very jolly as we left and let us leave everything behind for future collection. In the end we had a litre of beer each in Argensud (again) and a slow - made-up - pizza in (TA unlisted) Pipo's which meant we returned at 23:30 to find her another staff a bit less jolly after waiting for us (we should have picked up our stuff before the pizza, our mistake) but after effusive apologies we left on good terms. Overall a very good place to stay at a reasonable price we found (given this is a remote and therefore expensive region). We did not see the tea room in action during the day. Apparently tourism plays second fiddle to oil and mining here so maybe the business lodging is more of an income generator for hotels.

Great, affordable apartment
Reviewed By Sarah-Ryan1We stayed one night in an apartment for a good deal (about 60 US dollars). Nice kitchenette with plenty of cookware for our breakfast. Comfortable and clean space and nice location--not far to walk to the bus stop or the town center but still felt on the outskirts so it was quiet. Really friendly front desk staff. The woman apologized for not speaking English but we were trying to say (in our poor Spanish) not to apologize! Argentina is a Spanish speaking country so we are sorry that we can't speak better Spanish. We didn't love El Calafate but this was great accommodation for a fair price! Recommended!

Great value apartment
Reviewed By dplee22On arrival the owners were very kind and welcoming, giving us some useful advice on walks around the local area.
