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 The small bathroom was at least 20 years old with outdated fixtures like the tub/shower combo and a tiny single sink with antiquated faucet and sputtering water pressure.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.
Overall the Hotel was nice but when we first checked in the room they assigned to us was facing the dusty parking lot with no view whatsoever except the cars. When asked to be moved to another room, the morning reception person would only give us another room at an addition US $20 per night. The hotel did not appear to be fully booked so we surprised at this request but reluctantly agreed. Upon checking out, the same morning receptionist, she charged us twice for the bottles of water we consumed and in our rush to get the taxi did realize this unit l later. Other than the morning Reception person our stay was good. On the contrary, the evening Reception was much more helpful and pleasant.
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 ☺️
The hotel is nice and clean. Personnel was helpful and attentive any time you needed something. Breakfast was ok. The hotel is about 15 to 20 minutes walk from downtown. The room was comfortable no need to have air conditioning, we opened the windows and felt safe. Our room was comfortable, located on the 2nd. Floor not that far from the breakfast area, but they have a door that is kept shut so you do not hear much noise when they are arranging the area for breakfast. Overall we had a great experience. We recommend you to visit Perito Moreno and Estancia Cristina with the 4 x 4 experience. Thank you!!

Excellent price-performance choice for your stay in El Calafate. Its a family owned hotel so service is personalized and very kind, and also professional. Rooms are small, but clean and have central heating. They don't have frigobar nor any type of equipment, but the hotel staff offers their fridge if you want to leave anything to be kept cold. It does not have a restaurant, but they offer table service if you order delivery from any near by restaurant. They were even kind enough to heat the empanadas we had ordered. The hotel is very close to the bus station, but around a 2km distance to the city center, but it is a comfortable and safe walk. It does not have onsite parking, but the location of the hotel allows you to securely park your car outside.
AAmayaUbicado a poca distancia del centro, 5 minutos andando. Las camas muy comodas, habitación con baño privado con ducha muy grande, instalaciones limpias.

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.
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.
ผผู้เข้าพักNa nossa viagem passamos por Ushuaia, El Calafate e Buenos Aires e esse sem dúvida foi o melhor Hotel com o melhor custo x benefício de todos, ainda mais com câmbio vantajoso no peso argentino. Eles sempre indicam fazer a reserva e pagar direto no hotel em cartão visa. As Recepcionistas são super simpáticas, em especial a Natasha que inclusive aprendeu português. Toda a comunicação e reserva foi feita direta com o hotel e respondem muito rápido. Fica ao lado da avenida principal, da para fazer tudo a pé. Quarto de ótimo tamanho, bom chuveiro e cama confortável. No estacionamento sai o ônibus que vai para o Glaciarium museu dos glaciares, infelizmente não fomos pelo pouco tempo. Guardaram nossas malas após checkout pois nosso voo saia mais tarde e queríamos aproveitar a cidade. IMPORTANTE: façam a reserva o quanto antes pois esgota rápido e eu tive que fazer diretamente com o hotel que tinha um último quarto Com certeza ficaria no ACA novamente.
ผผู้เข้าพักThe Glaciar Libertador provides more of a ”cabin - hostel” vibe than that of a proper hotel. The cleaning ladies were polite and keep the place in a decent shape, but the hotel doesn't make you feel very welcome. Reception is matter of fact, breakfast is decent but serving rather stingy portions - you need to make effort to get a decent serving of scrambled eggs for example. As such, the hotel is rather overpriced for what you get. As a traveler and guest I'd prefer to be left out of politics. However, the hotel's prominent support through its window display for Israel (flag + sign reading ”we stand by Israel”), that so far has murdered over 30.000 civilians (70% women and children), made my stay rather uncomfortable. Knowing it's a rather ”polemic” political topic that perhaps has no place on tripadvisor, considering that it was the hotel's decision to take a clear public political stance, I also feel that it is helpful to share here for those travellers who wish to take an informed and conscious decision on whether to stay here. I certainly would have wanted to know before booking online.
