Guest Reviews
- Gonzalo (8/5): Buena estadía con un precio acorde. - Departamento grande, cama cómoda. Ubicación tranquila aunque un poco ruidoso con los vecinos. Estaba un poco descuidado en detalles, problemas con el agua caliente, el termotanque necesitaba ayuda para arrancar. El sofá era enclenque.
- Jean-Luc (6/5): - Proximité centre ville et terminus bus; lit confortable Pas de chauffage, pas d’eau chaude dans la douche, très peu de réseau et wifi qui pose des problèmes d’organisation.
- Marisol (8/5): -
- Olivia20017 (10/5): - Beautiful spacious apartment, we loved it
- R (10/5): - Muy comodo, limpio con todo lo necesario para una estadía placentera
- Sacha (9/5): -
- Mariano (10/5): - All
- Veronica (10/5): - El departamento estaba en muy buenas condiciones y de amplias dimensiones. Muy cómodo. Cerca de la zona céntrica y de la costanera.
- Sorin (1/5): Unbewohnbar. - Eigentlich nichts. Gebäude von außen nicht fertig.
Immer überall Löcher und schlechter Geruch.
Im Schlafzimmer Gasgeruch. Unbrauchbar.
Absolut nicht zu empfehlen auch wenn es im Vergleich zu anderen günstig erscheint.
Eine Schande dass Booking diese Wohnung vermittelt.
- Alberto (9/5): - Alloggio nuovo, ben arredato molto pulito. Bagno con tutto l'occorrente.
Chiavi nel box alla porta, comode. L'orario del check out alle 10.00 é troppo presto.
- 대혁 (9/5): -
- 김 (9/5): - 센트로에서 조금 떨어져있지만, 걸어서 다닐수 있는거리이고, 조용하고, 깨끗하고, 친절해서 좋았음
- Sandra (9/5): Excelente - Es muy comoda y estaba impecable. Solo le agregaria otra cortina black out al comedor ya q al abrirla quedamos expuestas. La propiedad que reserve tenia jacuzzi, y la que nos dieron no tenia jacuzzi😥
- Marlee (6/5): Nice from afar but needs a lot of TLC - Comfy bed, large space, modern(ish), close walk to Main Street Bathroom smelt wet and mouldy, pipes coming out of walls, part of the bath wall missing, kettle didn’t work, hot water only like warm during the day
- Urszula (6/5): Pleasant - Aparently r was clean and in decent location Bathroom was not working properly - there was no warm water at all
- Kajetan (4/5): Disappointing -
- Maxime (8/5): Very good -
- Michael (8/5): Lovely accommodation - These were some of the best looking rooms we stayed in throughout our trip in South America. Facilities were excellent in terms of facilities. Kitchen equipment, beds, the bathroom, sockets were all excellent. Everything was spotlessly clean.
We travelled with another friend who had better accommodation for just a few pounds more. This would have easily accommodated us in 2 separate rooms and would have booked this for the three of us had we known. Anybody who has been too El Calafate knows how bad the winds are down there. The day we were there was no exception. As a result i accidentally locked us out. There is no reception as entry to accommodation is by getting keys out of a key safe. I phoned the accommodation via WhatsApp. My Spanish is pretty good, but pretty quickly I could not fully understand what he was going on about before he spoke about the Malvinas and wanting to kill the English. Luckily i have an Argentinian friend living in the area. She called and somebody (i guess the cleaners) came out to unlock the door. They were friendly. I later spoke to the owner. She was stressed as somebody had hacked their WhatsApp. This made sense as mine had also been hacked.
I cannot mark the accommodation down for this. The only small negative points are that it is easy to lock yourself out and that the rooms face a busy road. It does before quieter later in the evening though.
- Natalie (7/5): A good cost effective option for the independent traveller - The apartment was a good cost effective option for us. It looks a little basic but is adequately appointed with a kitchenette, newish bathroom and safe box. It is conveniently located about a 10 minute walk to the Main Street and about 15 minute walk from the bus station, and there were a few places to eat nearby if you couldn’t be bothered going all the way into town. Our host was friendly and we had no trouble communicating. We appreciated the flexibility of a later check out after a glitch in our travel plans. The bedding was inadequate- the sheets were too small and didn’t stay tucked in, and there was no mattress protector, so I found myself sleeping directly on the mattress and had to get up in the night and remake my bed. Not only was that uncomfortable and annoying, it also seemed rather unhygienic. Better bedding is needed!
- Lucia (1/5): Fraud: they took more money that they were supposed to - Kitchen is fully equipped if you want to cook This is definitely the worst experience I have had with an accommodation through Booking. LaTorre Aparts are UNTRUSTWORTHY AND WILL TRY TO RIP YOU OFF IF YOU ARE A FOREIGNER AND PAY WITH A FOREIGN CARD!!!
I was supposed to pay in pesos argentinos as it is established in the booking reservation. Instead they took USD from my account. This way I ended up paying at least 30% more since there is a big gap between official dolar (the one the accommodation calculates the amount to be paid = USD in the reservation*official USD rate to peso) and dolar MEP (which will be applied in your bank). LaTorre Aparts was fully aware of their mistake and even said they were sorry. Despite that, they refused to make it right and charge me in the correct currency. My personal opinion is that they rip off tourists who know little about the different exchange rates and get easily to dollars, since those are hard to get in Argentina. They had it planned very well, they charged my card the last day of my stay, so that I couldn’t do anything about it. This is even though in the email reservation it says you will be charged right after booking. It is true that they messaged me later that the payment is at entering the apartment. Little did I know then, what their intentions were.
As other guests mentioned, the apartment is unlike on the pictures. I have gotten #1 and it was very modest and old. Nowhere close to the nice pictures. Also, the apartment is on the ground floor right on the street. If we lifted the curtains everyone could see inside. On top of that, you will hear every car passing.
- Patrick (8/5): Very good - Very spacious Was a bit outside of the center, but not too much.
- Natalia (10/5): Exceptional -
- Ander (7/5): Very helpful staff - The manager was very helpful and the location was close to the city centre and quiet. Bed was comfortable and it had a nice underfloor heating. The facilities are a bit tired, but had the basics for self catering
- Elena (10/5): Exceptional -
- Hannah (5/5): Passable - Good location, quite close to the centre but also not too far away from the bus stop. Property is a little more worn than in the photos. It would be good if there was something to make a coffee with.
Check-in process was a little difficult as we didn’t have cell phone signal and we were expecting the owners to meet us at the apartment but they had sent us WhatsApp’s that we couldn’t receive due to being reliant on WiFi!
- Ross (4/5): I think there are better places to stay in El Calafate that are better maintained. - It was close to the bus terminal. The accommodations lacked any character or ambiance. However, El Calafate as a town oozed charm and had a vibrant atmosphere.
- Brown (9/5): Superb -
- jesus marques (10/5): - cumpriu o que promete, apto igual as fotos. bem amplo
- Matt (8/5): - Super helpful owner and staff. Was at apartment in 5 minutes for a (user) problem with the safe.
Apartment was very nice but not amazing. Some loud noise from street (cars).
- Zeca (10/5): Muio Boa!!! - Os funcionários são muito atenciosos e receptivos. Apart bem localizado, com acessibilidade ao centro caminhando. Apartamento bonito, cozinha completa e confortável!! Super recomendo !!
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Excelente atencion .muy tranquilo el lugar. Cerca del centro .
- Glenn (8/5): Decent spot to stay... - Overall, not a bad place to stay in Calafate. The property has Wi-Fi (with Netflix built-in to TV) which was good when we were tired from travelling, if not quite patchy in service. The bed was large and comfy, plenty of space and decent location.
Positives:
- friendly welcome. We were given a walkthrough of the accommodation by the owner which,despite the language barrier, was clear and helpful.
- good location close to the bus station. No real need to get a taxi as you can walk there in less than 10 minutes from the bus station (beware the gravel roads if you have suitcases!). Also, a fairly short walk into Calafate main town area, which meant a fairly quiet and peaceful location to rest, but still had a couple of good restaurants nearby.
Negatives:
- generally seemed a little worn out e.g. some slightly dodgy wiring on the plug sockets, cracked window pane, leaky shower.
Nothing majorly wrong and I'd probably recommend to others.
