Guest Reviews
- Inscape Photo Tours (10/5): - all good
- LEIDY TATIANA (10/5): Hermoso lugar - Su comodidad,limpieza, atención del personal siempre con buena actitud, la ubicación q un par de cuadras del centro, cerca restaurantes, parques,farmacias entre otras
- Gervs (10/5): La Cantera stay (room photo is in panorama mode) - It is very well located (it is on top of a hill, so you get a beautiful view).
The staff was wonderful. I was loaned an adaptable charger for my phone free of charge. A staff member also came around every evening around 7h30 PM to have out a free alfajor. I have no complaints, however, travelers should know the hill is somewhat steep, especially of coming back from the center square (though there are taxi service available).
- Andrea (8/5): Buena atención del personal. Buen desayuno. - Habitaciones amplias. Desayuno incluido. Demoraron 3 días en arreglar el extractor que era la única ventilación del baño. El jacuzzi no funcionan dos jets.
- Andrea (9/5): Buen alojamiento más allá de los detalles - Comodidad y desayuno. Atención del personal. Estuvimos 3 días sin el extractor del baño. La moquette del piso estaba más o menos. El jacuzzi de una de las habitaciones tenía dos jeta que no funcionaban.
- Marina (1/5): Terrible - Terrible Calidad precio. El personal.
- Anna (10/5): -
- QIHUA (9/5): -
- Dieneke (8/5): - Sfeervol Was wel wat ver lopen naar t centrum
- Mauricio (8/5): Um bom hotel, com bom café da manhã e bonitas vistas - Hotel com bom café da manhã, quartos grandes, com linda vista do lago. Ótimo para quem está de carro. Pode ser longe do centro para os mais preguiçosos.
- Markus (7/5): - De rust was mooi. Doordat het hotel op de heuvel (maar wel dicht bij de stadskern) ligt is het zicht op lago Argentino prachtig. Wij zaten in de kamers beneden…die hadden geen uitzicht en lagen direct aan de straat (waar overigens nauwelijks verkeer was).
- Cecilia (8/5): - El servicio Que estuviera arriba del centro
- Pat Wald (10/5): -
- Flavio (10/5): -
- Rob (5/5): -
- Vladimir (8/5): Nice place to rest after a day packed with activities - Big room ( it was triple), big bed, rustic, very helpful and responsive staff, good view from the lobby The location is a bit far from the center, more than I expected when booking. But fine - it is walkable, some 15 mins uphill.
- Taco (9/5): -
- Marcelina Teresa (10/5): -
- Maria (10/5): - Amazing view and location.
Gabriella and the rest of the stuff are very helpful and always available to assist with any queries.
- Régis (5/5): - Accueil gentil, la vue plutot sympa. chambres trop bruyantes
- euan (8/5): -
- bracquemond (10/5): - Établissement parfait pour explorer la région. Chambre très confortable avec une vue sur le lac 🤩 et personnel attentionné et souriant. À recommander
- MonicaL810 (6/5): So so hotel - La Cantera is not really a boutique hotel or a 4 * hotel. A better description would be a rustic hotel in need of some sort of renovation. The furniture show scratches that shouldn’t have been there if you considered the price for the rooms. The breakfast is ok. Enough for the morning, but still not impressive like other 4 starts places. The hotel looks clean. The staff is friendly and welcoming. Probably the best part of this hotel.
- Jenny (10/5): -
- Gabriel (8/5): Great stuff, very good breakfast, need major room upgrades - Large room, very comfortable bed and nice view to the lake The room is old and need a major upgrade
- Anja (10/5): -
- Zabransky (10/5): Perchero - Privacidad . Atención. Solo sugiero un perchero al ingresar a la habitación Sin otra observación.
- Eunyoung (8/5): Great stay in El Calafate for few days to see glaciers. - Nice location overlooking the water view. Many breakfast offerings to choose from. Very spacious room and bathroom.
- Sofia (10/5): - Simpatia e vista do hotel Nada a acrescentar
- Joanne (7/5): -
- Stanislaw (7/5): -
- Patrick (9/5): Enjoyed our stay. Would recommend. - The staff are great. The woman who works the breakfast area is so nice. We were staying there on my wife’s birthday (Christmas Eve) and they gave her a small cake. It was really nice thing to do. Also the people who checked us in and the cleaning staff are nice. This says a lot about whomever runs this property.
I also liked how there is a cat on the property who is really sweet.
As long as you have a car the location is great. Beware it is about a 5 min drive up a steep hill from town or prob 15 min walk. For us nothing. Just be aware it’s a steep walk or drive from town
- Liore (7/5): -
- Natalia (10/5): Everything is fine - Clean, comfortable bed, nice interior, convenient location There is a limited selection of food at breakfast, but overall, there is enough
- marianna (8/5): -
- Noemi (9/5): - Struttura un po’ datata ma Staff gentile e disponibile. Ottimo il servizio navetta dal centro. Buona la colazione Consiglio di migliorare i pannelli oscuranti alle finestre
- Irina (9/5): -
- Karan (8/5): -
- Catherine (7/5): Mostly very charming although room for improvement - Charming little place, large and comfortable bed, nice decor, good breakfast. Poorly designed bathroom produced an awful smell which leaked out into the bedroom. Very hot room and the windows were right at floor level by the entrance so didn’t feel comfortable leaving them wide open all night.
- David (8/5): - Nice rooms very helpful staff and tasty breakfast
- Niccolò (8/5): -
- Gershon (6/5): - בינוני מאוד. נקי ונחמדים אבל שום דבר מעבר... ארוחת בוקר עלובה ממש. ריהוט ישן.
- Duncan (8/5): -
- Dante (8/5): Very good choice -
- Marcel (8/5): -
- Gómez Alcázar (6/5): No sería mi opción recomendada - Las habitaciones eran lindas y luminosas No es un 4 estrellas. La cena de fin de año tuvimos que pedirla con mucha antelación para un menú básico que fue pésimo, otro día fuimos a comer en el restaurante del hotel y nos dijeron que no era posible porque había 3 mesas con gente - aunque quedasen un montón libres - nos dijeron que no era posible porque “estaban desbordados”, el desayuno era muy básico, el personal nos contactaba de manera insistente por whatsapp para saber desde el día antes a qué hora saldríamos al día siguiente para poder programar ellos la limpieza de los cuartos, se supone que había un servicio de shuttle al centro y de regreso y el único día en el q quisimos hacer uso del mismo estando ya en el centro simplemente nos contestaron que justo ese día no estaba disponible…
- Maarten (7/5): -
- YUMA (9/5): -
- García (10/5): Todo lindo - La vista Nada
- Alejandro (6/5): desagradable - El personal Habitacion con paredes muy finitas. Se escuchaba como tenian relaciones los huspedes de la habitacion que estaba a nuestro lado. No hay privacidad.
- Sarah Jill (10/5): A great place to stay in El Calafate - Lovely place with gorgeous views. The rooms are beautiful and the jet bath a nice surprise!
Breakfast was great - recommend the crepes with dulche de leche specifically.
All staff were very friendly. Reception staff were very proactive asking us if we were sorted for our excursions each day and helping us get to Perito Moreno glacier.
- isaac (7/5): - Comfortable bed and good view Walls were extremely thin and the room we had was right behind the Reception desk so we could hear the receptionist talking to clients and to each other into the early morning. Walls are very thin and could hear everything people said in other rooms.
- nathalie (9/5): À recommander - Personnel très prévenant qui anticipe vos demandes!! Chambre avec une grande fenêtre sur le lac, grande et très confortable . C’est un vrai bonheur d’admirer le paysage depuis son lit! Très bon petit déjeuner La décoration est un peu vieillotte. On entend fort la chambre d’à côté.
- Jorge (9/5): -
- David (10/5): Fantast' - The room was super nice: comfy, big, nice shower, nice bed, etc. The staff is always super friendly and the breakfast is 10/10. It's not the closest to the main street, but they do provide a shuttle if needed, which is a nice perk. Otherwise, it's a short 15-min walk, give or take. We love this place!
- Ignacio (10/5): - El personal!
- Athanasios (10/5): -
- Carla (7/5): - Really confortable rooms, generous breakfast and great views over the lago argentino.
The hotel is up the hill but you can walk down to the main road (restaurants, shops etc) in 15min. After 7pm they also have an agreement with local taxis so they can take you back up the hill to the hotel for ARG $2000 per trip. Walls were a bit thin so we could hear the neighbours arguing. Rooms were also pretty hot.
- Jose Javier (9/5): - Um lugar aconchegante e com umas belas vistas do lago Argentino. Pessoal muito atencioso e um excelente café da manhã. Deu tudo certo.
- Eduardo (5/5): -
- Noelle (8/5): C’était très confortable et chaleureux - Le personnel
Les chambres L’expesso
- Adrian (8/5): -
- nrnath (9/5): - Chambre spacieuse, literie excellente, belle vue sur le lac, bon petit déjeuner L’accueil
- Antonia (8/5): It’s a bit of a walk into the main part of town. We didn’t mind the walk and good for you to know. - The bed was comfortable and bathroom was clean. The price of laundry was expensive.
- Giovanni (8/5): -
- Nicholas (8/5): - Great views and breakfast & hotel restaurant for dinner. Very accommodating staff. Beds were wonderfully comfortable. The rooms were slightly dated and could hear every morning alarm set by our next door visitors!
- Lukas (10/5): -
- Helen (8/5): Rustic traditional feel. Amazing breakfast . Great views - Big room and comfy bed . Set high on a hill so great views of the lake and mountains . Amazing breakfast with wide choice . The hotel has a rustic feel . Feels traditional in style but furniture is scratched and damaged . Bathroom is huge but bath is cracked although this had been patched and was functional . It is up a hill out of town and although the view is great it is in an industrial type of area .
- NickDud (4/5): Don't upgrade to the lake view - Easily the most disappointing of our many hotels in Argentina. OK, I know El Calafate isn't Buenos Aires but even so the hotel wasn't up to scratch. The rooms was big and the shower magnificent, but the whole place is dated and needs a bit of TLC. We paid extra (£49 per night) for a lake view but the hotel is miles from the lake and it just isn't worth it. In addition, I believe the non lake views had a half decent view. The hotel is also a decent walk up a very steep hill from the centre and although the hotel mentioned a shuttle we never got to grips with it. Many have mentioned the cheerful staff but apart from the lovely lady at breakfast I can't say that we found anyone to be particularly jolly. We also were charged for water from the minbar which we didn't have and if you wanted a coffee then you could order it but it was charged to your room. When we did order one we were charged for a cappuchino which we didn't have.
The breakfast did include different types of egg which was good, but again, compared to our other hotels was very average.
- Andrew (9/5): Un buen hospedaje en El Calafate - Pasé cuatro noches hospedándome acá, sin queja. La habitación era cómoda, limpia y espaciosa. Se servía un buen desayuno. El personal fue atento con respecto a aconsejarme sobre las excursiones. No hay nada que mencionar.
- Karen (9/5): Comfortable stay on the edge of town - Nice big room and very comfortable beds. Good breakfast and on site restaurant A little far to the town although a shuttle bus was provided at a small cost.
- Lorenzo (10/5): -
- Adrianus (10/5): Top! - Uitzicht, ontbijt, het bed, de kamer. De ontvangst. Alles voortreffelijk!
- PATRICIA (7/5): Bon séjour - Chambre confortable
Bin petit déjeuner
Personnel très agréable Hormis le directeur Excentré
Le directeur un peu agressif
- Chelsea (9/5): - It is close to town but offers silence and peace with a terrific view. Onsite parking was also a plus. Room was outdated and did not march the photos
- Daniel (9/5): -
- Timothy (8/5): -
- Gillian (10/5): Cozy hotel, helpful staff, great stay - The hotel room was so cozy, the bed was extremely comfortable and we loved the bath. There was also lots of space. The breakfast was tasty with plenty options. The bar area was also nice to have some wine. The staff were so helpful responding to WhatsApp queries very fast and also arranging excursions. While the hotel is not right in the centre of town the walk is around ten minutes if you are fit and otherwise they provide a taxi service. WiFi was also high quality. Highly recommend this place!

- Evgeny (10/5): - Все идеально. Тепло, уютно, красиво. Отель находится в 10 минутах ходьбы от главной улицы Эль Калафате. Персонал очень дружелюбный Шумоизоляция плохая, но так похоже в каждом отеле Эль-Калафате. Не критично.
- Reseva (7/5): Goede locatie.fijn om te verblijven - Proactieve houding en hulpvaardigheid van personeel. Tapijt op de grond.
- Monica (9/5): -
- Monica (9/5): - Lage, cooles personal
Man hat das Gefühl in einem Berghotel zu sein! Sehr sehr schön, das Essen von Restaurant ist auch sehr gut! Zimmer und Bett toll! Bisschen weit vom Zentrum, dafür eine sehr schöne Aussicht!
Die Entfernung regeln sie +- mit der shuttleservice
Kaffee 🙁
- Johanna (9/5): Beautiful view and great hospitality - Amazing view on the mountains and the lake. The bed was very confortable, and the staff were kind and helpful, making the stay easy and pleasant To get this view, you need to walk uphill from the center, but they have a shuttle service if needed
- Roni (10/5): מלון מומלץ באל קלפטה - בסה"כ מלון טוב מאוד.
חדרים נוחים ונקיים
הויי פיי עבד טוב.
ארוחת הבוקר הייתה טובה וכללה ירקות ( עגבניות מלפפונים) שני סוגי לחמים, אפשרות להזמנת ביצה בהכנה אישית כולל תוספות, דגני בוקר, עוגות, קפה ועוד
מיקום -המלון מרוחק מעט מהמרכז על גבעה כך שההליכה למרכז במגמת ירידה מהירה יחסית החזור למלון במגמת עלייה ארוך יותר ( כ 20 דקות) המלון מציע הסעה למרכז בעלות של 2000 פזוס לנסיעה ( כ 1.5$)בין השעות 19:00-23:00.
הצוות חביב ואדיב ומסייע בכל בקשה או פנייה. לדוגמה דאגו למסור לנו אתגר החדרים מוקדם יותר משעת הצ׳ק אין הרשמית. מעט מרוחק מהמרכז, אך ניתן למצוא חלופות הסעה זולות אל/מ המרכז.
- Dirk (8/5): Top verblijf - Super vriendelijk personeel die ervoor zorgt dat het je aan niets ontbreekt. Niets
- Segundo (10/5): - Excellent place, great staff , friendly best part is the transport Mario, if you have to improve something is the internet connection the rest is wonderful.
- rebeca (9/5): Muy buena ! - Las instalaciones muy buenas Estaba un poco alejado del centro
- Johanna (10/5): -
- Inmaculada (7/5): -
- Natividad (6/5): - Escaso mantenimiento
- Barbara (8/5): - A localização pois proporciona uma vista linda das montanhas e do lago.
A cama e travesseiros são bastante confortáveis e os funcionários são muito simpáticos. As instalações precisam de um renovação, principalmente o banheiro.
O café da manhã definitivamente pode ser melhor. Tem o básico do básico.
- Ludovico (9/5): -
- Belem (8/5): - La atención y amabilidad del personal. El desayuno era perfecto. Hacía muchísimo calor en la habitación, no había forma de regular la calefacción. Se escuchaba todo lo de la siguiente habitación, parecían las paredes de papel.
- 226ellish (6/5): Outdated and no atmosphere at all - It's a little way from the main street. There's not much atmosphere or conviviality. The staff are friendly, but the rooms, lobby and bar could do with an update. Our room was big but old, with new carpet laid over the old. The toilet seat was broken, for example, but was not repaired. We didn't eat in the restaurant because there was nobody there, and it also felt old and uninviting. Take 'boutique' out of the name. I wouldn't recommend it; there are plenty of more atmospheric hotels closer to the main street. The view was great though, because it's located on a hill.
- Tim (10/5): Very cozy and comfortable - Very nice, rustic but well maintained, it has character and the underfloor heating is awesome.
- Sandesh (10/5): - A nice place to stay. Friendly staff. Slightly far from the main road hence not easy to walk. Beautiful views of the lake from here
- Maribel (10/5): - Excelente lugar, limpio, cálido, un buen desayuno y la vista es hermosa.
- Ruben Hector Valenzuela (10/5): -
- Gerardo (10/5): - Great place to stay!
- Luis (8/5): Excellent - The room and bed Location
