Staff were amazing, really helpful. My wife is a celiac, and the restaurant was more than prepared to have gluten free option suitable for someone with celiac disease. Very very accommodating

The location is excellent. It is a new property and stylishly decorated. The rooms are large and very comfortable. The quality of the linen etc was excellent. Mine had a balcony which was comfortably sized and ideal for a pre dinner drink. What really made our stay, however, was the staff. We were welcomed warmly and every effort was made to assist us in every respect including going out of their way to find a money exchange facility on the morning we left. It was truly outstanding service. One of us managed to take the room key with us when we left and staff were able to quickly make arrangements to collect it from us at the bus station.

FAQs about hotels in El Calafate

Patagonia's Glacier Paradise

El Calafate is a small city in Argentinean Patagonia, situated in the foothills of the Andes and on the shores of Argentino Lake. Blending colourful wooden houses and Alpine-influenced architecture, it is the gateway to the Glaciers National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Booking.com offers a wide range of accommodation in El Calafate and surroundings, from 5-star hotels to cheap hostels.

The area was originally inhabited by the ‘Aonikenk’ people, while the modern settlement grew at the beginning of the 20th century as a refuge along the wool trade route, taking its name from the native blueberry bush known as ‘Calafate’. The town was founded by the Argentinean government in 1927 to promote the colonisation of the area, but its development started only after the creation of the National Park, in 1937.

The famous Perito Moreno Glacier is 80 km from the city. Mount Fitz Roy, the small town of El Chaltén, the romantic Onelli Bay, Lago del Desierto, and Roca Lake are some of the impressive landmarks that make up Argentina‘s 2nd-largest natural reservation. If you want to experience Patagonia’s languid vastness and tranquillity, try some of El Calafate’s rural accommodation or ‘estancias’.

    I did 2 glacier tours, and one day took the bus to el chalten. The town itself is very charming, and one early morning when I was looking for a pharmacy, I had an escort of 4-8 local stray (and very friendly) dogs.

    We stayed two nights in El Calafate, visited Mereno Glacier national park for a day, another day, relaxed in the city. we really enjoyed walking along the Argentina river walkway, also visited nature conservancy, there are so many waterfowls in the lake (river), first time saw black neck swan, I wished I brought binocular with me to enjoy the bird watching. It supposes to have Grebe's and Flamingos, dozens of species. the first week of April, all the tall trees leave in the city are changing to golden yellow Fall color, with Spanish style houses, it is really a pretty and warm town. with delicious food and drinks. Really enjoyed

    Loved the All glaciers boat trip - well organized with plenty of time to enjoy the ride and the views. We went with SoloPatagonia and found it perfect for us. It takes all day, but we had time to drive to Perito Moreno Glacier and enjoy a shot visit before the closed. We found El Calafate has great restaurant options, ice cream shops and shopping. Another day, we drove to Chalten and completed one of the hikes looking at Fitz Roy mountain... loved the town of Chalten, the vibe, restaurants and nature. We would like to come back and stay there at least one night to complete more hikes.

    This is a great little town which has some eccentiricies - there's no zoning so you have car repair and other businesses in the middle of single family neighborhoods, and LOTS of dogs roaming around and (especially in the middle of the night) loudly. barking at each other whether singly or in packs. Weird. Outside that, lots of restaurants on the main drag, LOTS of small lodging opportunities scattered among residential housing - tourist-friently, relatively safe. English (at least fluent) is less common here, but manageable for English-native speakers willing to work at it.

    This is No-Go hotel. Location is not bad, but this is not an issue since El Calafate is a single street village. Staff was extraordinary bad, not cooperative at all, wi-fi very poor in the lobby, in the room does not exist. Rooms are in the basement, not at the ground floor, they refused to give us lunch box (we checked out for an early flight) for the breakfast we paid for. The brakfast was very, very limited. Rooms are old, safety deposit bix not working. Very low valuw for money.

    Perfect view from room and from breakfast. Nice terrace. Very friendly and helpful staff. Be sure to have dinner in the hotel. Food is awesome. If you arrive you may consider the price of the restaurant somewhat expensive. But El Calafate is very expensive. And compared to other restaurants we tried, the hotel is by far the best choice for a decent dinner.
