Guest Reviews

• Baki (7/5): Fiyatı iyi, yeri çok iyi - Otel konumu çökmeyi. Şehir merkezinde ana sesiz ve odaları çok rahat. Eski bir otel anca temiz. Kahvaltısı yeterli. Mobilyası birazeskşmiş
• Vincent (7/5): - L’accueil était très bien et les dames très gentilles. Le confort et la propreté sont là, ce n’est pas un hôtel exceptionnel mais on ne s’attend pas à plus pour le prix.
• Jorge Issac (10/5): -
• Analia (6/5): - Me gusto la ubicación El baño azulejos con hongos... Y el desayuno quise hacerlon15 minutos de lo previsto porque mi vuelo se habia adelantado. La sra que tenia todo preparado en la mesada no quiso ofrecerme nada cuando le pregunté si podia consumir algo que me tenia que ir. No tiene tv tampoco.
• Eugenia (7/5): -
• João Marcelo (8/5): Ótimo custo-beneficio, com localização e instalações muito boas, mas café da manhã precisa melhorar - Hotel muito bem localizado, com instalações muito confortáveis. A cama é ótima, grande, ótima para dormir. Quarto também contava com frigobar. Funcionários gentis e atenciosos. Café da manhã pode melhorar.
• Александра (1/5): It was a terrible experience! They wanted to charge us an additional fee because our belongings were kept at the recepti -
• Guest (8/5): Muy buena ubicación y mucha amabilidad del personal - La ubicación. Se encuentra muy cerca del centro de la ciudad y la zona de restaurantes. Mejoraría el desayuno ya que había poca variedad. No había jamón, queso, huevos revueltos.
• Samuel (5/5): - Cobraram para guardar as malas após o check-out
• Choonghoon (9/5): -
• Choonghoon (9/5): 가성비 만족스러운 숙소로 추천합니다 - 가격대비 만족스럽습니다. 평점이 높지 않아 조금 망설였는데 선택해도 후회하지 않는 숙소입니다. 투어요금 지불때 현금이 아니면 10% 추가 비용을 받는데 인근 여행사로 가면 그럴 필요가 없습니다.
• Ismael (8/5): - Muy agradable estadía Solo faltaría un ventilador y una tv el resto perfecto
• MICHELE (8/5): Boa - Gostei do quarto em geral. O chuveiro poderia ser mais moderno. Café da manhã poderia ser melhor.
• Francisco (1/5): Miserables e indecentes - Nada Son unos canallas, la publicidad engañosa, nos enviaron la confirmación de la reserva con cheking hasta las 21:00 , llegamos a las 20:00 y estaba todo cerrado y no había nadie en recepción. Les llamé por tfno y me dijeron que aunque en booking aparecieran 3 habitaciones solo les quedaba una y nosotros habíamos reservado dos. Me parece una indecencia dejar tirados a unos clientes extranjeros a esas horas de la tarde. Tengo que decir que aunque los de hotel fuesen unos indecentes, booking estuvo a la altura como siempre. Si por mi fuese los borraría de las búsquedas para que a nadie le pase lo mismo.

• Bruce (7/5): Nice place but security needs to be improved by installing security cameras on the parking lot - Nice location and heated bedroom Our two motorcycles parked outside on the parking lot and someone ransacked our stuff overnight. We were disappointed that receptionist didn’t offer us to park inside the building as they did to another motorcyclist that we didn’t know until this morning.
• Mariana (8/5): - o atendimento é excelente! A atendente nos acomodou bem, nos ajudou no que precisamos. o café da manhã poderia ser melhor.
• Melissa (10/5): - Excelente ubicación.
• Cristian (4/5): - Ubicación Desayuno muy básico
• Thalsidia Esther (9/5): Volvería a elegirlo. El personal muy atento y muy informado de lo que puedes hacer estando allí - La ubicación muy buena. Cerca de todo, puedes ir caminando. Tiene acceso a comida y locales de frutas etc Sin comentario
• Dovidio (10/5): - Fue muy amable Sofia la recepcionista.
• Forestello (7/5): Aceptable - el desayuno muy sencillo, repetitivo, con una naranja cortada para compartir como unica fruta, el jugo de naranja era de sobre, creo que puede ser mas variado, las medialunas muy buenas. Cuando tuvimos que salir de excursion mas temprano, nos habilitaron el desayuno 15 minutos antes. La ubicacion es muy buena mas cuando uno esta sin movil. La cama matrimonial muy comoda, muy grande. Muy buena atencion de Sofia!! El internet no llegaba a nuestra pieza, tuvimos que trabajar en el comedor. Otro tema es que no queda nadie a partir de las 21,30 hs., entonces hay gente que va en grupos y tienen una llave para ingresar, se dividen en las salidas nocturnas, uno se queda con la llave, y despues bajan la puerta de ingreso a golpes porque no saben como entrar. Toallones pequeños, limpios, no duros como lija. Las fotos subidas a Booking me vendieron otra cosa. En la habitacion que me toco no habia TV, ni en la sala gral, si una heladera de bajo mesada para utilizar.
• Maria Ines (10/5): - Nos gustó mucho la cercanía de Elli y Sofía. Y espectacular el budín casero de manzana que hace Eli 😋
• Casas (10/5): Hotel Ariel, Calidez y hospitalidad - El lugar súper estratégico, está frente a Distrisur,un mercado súper completo. Cerca del centro comercial, las chicas que nos recibieron fueron súper amables y simpáticas. Agua caliente 24 hs, toallones, shampoo y jabón a disposición. El desayuno muy bien!!Hotel
• Pablo José (5/5): - Desayuno simple Ubicación muy buena Falta de servicios No hay tv
• Jessica (10/5): - Atendimento acolhedor, quartos limpos, ótimo serviço.
• Hayley (9/5): -
• Aldana (10/5): Perfecta - La atención de las chicas Eli y Sofía un 10. Excelente relación calidad-precio. Nada.

• Reginaldo (10/5): Excelente custo-benefício! - Excelente custo-benefício! Atenção e disponibilidade dos atendentes.
• Gabriel (10/5): -
• Guest (10/5): Excelencia - Excelente todo muy ordenado buena atención
• javier (10/5): - Excelente ubicación, el personal muy amable y todo lo demás muy bien
• Carlos (6/5): Funcional - buena relación precio/ubicacion - Es un lugar muy practico. Ubicado a 5-8 min caminando en plano de la zona principal, ya que está sobre la calle principal. La habitación limpia. Desayuno funcional (pan, un poco de fruta, cafe, jugo, té), pero puedes comprar y preparar lo tuyo ya que tiene un pequeño mini-refri en el cuarto
• Aleksei (7/5): Good -
• Rodrigo (8/5): Hermoso - Hotel central, tranquilo, seguro, las personas que atienden fueron amables, colaboradoras y atentas.
• Julia (10/5): - Hotel muy cómodo y limpio, excelente ubicación sobre la calle principal pero lo suficientemente lejos del centro para descansar sin ruido. Está justo al lado de una verdulería donde encuentras de todo, desde productos de higiene que hayas olvidado hasta sandwiches para tu vianda si vas a hacer senderismo. Cerca de excelentes restaurantes, La Lechuza y Pura Vida recomendadísimos. La recepción no es 24 horas, pero dentro de los horarios en los que opera siempre encontramos a alguien disponible. La calefacción y el agua caliente funcionan perfecto, muy reconfortante si vuelves de un día frío y lluvioso del Calafate y sus hermosos alrededores.
• Jose (10/5): Amazing - Amazing! Will come back.
• Marcio (5/5): Passable -
• Massimo (8/5): Very good -
• michele (10/5): - Funcionários atenciosos Ótima localização Ótima limpeza
• Jennifer (9/5): Superb -
• Victoria (8/5): Very good - good location not having included transport to the airport and lunch boxes when you can not stay for breakfast
• Luis Lauro (10/5): - Me gustó la atención del personal, habitaciones confortables, Cecilia muchas gracias!!!
• Christoph (4/5): Decent 1-2 star place that you can sleep well in. But you pay for 3 stars. Breakfast disappointing. - It´s well located near the city center of El Calafate. On Google Maps this place is categorized as 1-star hotel. And that seems appropriate. The price was however more of a 3-star hotel (and it was categorized as such here on booking.com at the time). I did however sleep well there and all the staff members were doing their job. Biggest complain would be the breakfast, which probably was the most disappointing I had in a while. Just cheap sugary pastries. No protein to be found there whatsoever. No vegetables either. The rest was all ok, but on the level of a run-down 1-2 star place. So a bit of an over pay what is being offered here.
• Rodolfo (10/5): Exceptional - The place calafate
• Akriti (8/5): Decent short term stay - Staff and location Tired looking room but it's an inn so you get what you pay for
• Jana (2/5): Very poor - Personel was very helpful every time we needed something they found a solution There was no hot water or not at all water in the bathroom,, the fridge was standing on a small stool, and when you wanted to open it it fell on you, the lamp on the small table did not function, one could not open the window only in half and the breakfast was ready only for those who liked sweets like cakes. We had to bring to the dining room some veg like tomatoes, green paprica and avocados, For the price per night one would expect a breakfast with the variety of food. The heating was centrally regulated, so it was not possible to reduce it, and even with the window opened, we were too hot during some nights. So, the owner should pay more attention to her establishment.
• Michael (6/5): Pleasant - The location of this hotel is great. Just a short walk to shops and restaurants. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The overall condition of the hotel is just OK. It is closer to a hostel than a hotel. The radiant heats are turned on by the staff and there is no way to adjust the heat in the room /several nights our room was sweltering even with a window open. There is no way to open the window and still have privacy. There was just a thin curtain. The bathroom door would not close completely.
• Paige (4/5): Very disappointing - high price and poor accommodation - Not far from main part of town Very poor value. Extremely overpriced for what you get. Bare minimum accommodation, small room with no place to put your things, everything done as basic as possible but charge like a 4 star hotel.
• Eniz (8/5): It's an okay place to stay if you're visiting El Calafate for a short while -
• Marta (1/5): Terrible experience - Nothing. I didn’t stay there. On new years even I booked this hotel and when I arrived they told me that there was a ‘glitch in a system’ and there are no rooms. They didn’t provide an alternative.
• Paige (6/5): Pleasant -
• John (7/5): Enjoyed staying there, no complaints. - The staff were lovely, the location was fine, easily walkable to the centre, the hotel was clean and comfy. Great supermarket next door The breakfasts were limited, but adequate. Its a long way from the bus station but that’s not Ariel’s fault !
• Andreurb (3/5): Avoid if possible. - This hotel has potential. It is not far from the center. They were flexible when we had to change the dates of our stay. The afternoon receptionist is all the bad things. Rude to customers, slow, confused all the time... She gave a late check out to the person in our room and asked us to wait for 1.5h to be able to check in. Her excuse: well people usually come later... It was 4.30 pm! Not unreasonable to check in I think. The heating system is central. The thermostat is in the large dining room. To heat that up they need to crank up the heat. It is steaming hot in the rooms. We had to sleep with windows fully open in the patagonian cold weather and we would be still sweating. But during the night... They turn it down... And you freeze to death. So every night we had to wake up in the middle of our sleep to close the windows. Overall the whole hotel is outdated. The breakfast is a mix of ultra processed food: cake, cookies, pound cake, cereals, toast and jellies. Something similar to ham and cheese. Juices are made from powder. I would avoid it, it is not as cheap as to justify all the stinginess they show in every detail.
• Monika (10/5): Exceptional - Most delightful and helpful staff. Beautiful breakfast area and possibility to get hot water throughout the day.
• Carol (9/5): Great location with easy access to most places. Ladies at the front desk are super helpful. They helped us out a lot. - The folks at the front desk were so nice and helpful. Great location. I liked the property.
• Nuri (10/5): Exceptional - everything Nothing
• Sally (7/5): 3 nights stay as part of a Patagonia trip. - Location, size of bed and bathroom. Sparse decor, no lounge area or ambiance, and rooms too hot (heat not adjustable)
• Christoph (8/5): Super nice and friendly place. Attention to payment - Common pickup/drop-off point, out of the center but not too far. There is a small supermarket just next. The breakfast was mainly sweets but with some various options. We could use the microwave. The room was nice and warm. The shower was ok. Not much English but we are used to it. The receptionist, perfectly friendly and helpful until the checkout tried to use an exchange rate higher than the usual one by more than 100, asking for 40.000 more than anticipated because they use a rate between the official and the blue dollar rate in their “usual” conversion. We discussed 10 minutes and we finally paid at the common/official rate…
• Frederic (7/5): Marginal hotel, some good, some bad. - The staff was very nice and helpful. I liked to breakfast but eggs would make it better. The room I was in needs some improvement. It seems to me that owner does not have pride in the rooms. Loose electrical outlets, missing soap shelf in the shower, and a grab bar that I doubt would hold anyway if they were falling.
• Tsechang (5/5): Not recommended - Simple breakfast. I thought the room is very hazardous. There is unfinished plumbing work, with pipes sticking out from the sides. Someone can get a nasty gash if the they go to the bathroom without lights on. People seems like they never sleeps, it was very loud whole night we were there. Not much, lady who checked us in charged a peso rate above the bank rate. It was costing us $121 instead of $89. After showing her the bank rate, she reduced a little bit, but still over the bank rate. I know peso is cheap, but over blowing for tourist is not fair.
• Oskar (9/5): Overall a nice stay. Even breakfast was quite ok! - Very personal atmosphere! Flexible with check in Brown out! At night 3 times power went off because somebody was using a plug for something
• Melinda (8/5): Very good -
• Richard (10/5): Great location, great room and facility, very nice and friendly staff. -
• Mendes (6/5): Very kind people but Hotel needs an upgrade. - Location is excellent. Old rooms. Need an upgrade.
• GIOVANNA MOLIZANE (8/5): Limpeza deixou muito a desejar - As meninas do hotel eram bem atenciosas, em especial a Virgínia que nos foi super receptiva e atenciosa, nota 10 a ela! O hotel em geral possui em todos os cômodos aquecedores, deixando-o quentinho. O café da manhã é ok. O que mais me desagradou foi a limpeza dos quartos, pois havia teias de aranha no canto das janelas e em cima do lustre, além do fato de debaixo da cama possuir acúmulo de poeira em formatos redondos, que demonstra que não havia limpeza embaixo das mesmas durante um considerável tempo, além do vaso sanitário não ser limpo, vez que havia limo ao seu redor.
• JACKELINE (6/5): Bueno para estancias cortas - Personal amable, habitaciones limpias, servicio de desayuno bien...lo único es q las habitaciones no tienen TV
