The receptionists were incredibly helpful. Our bus was cancelled as vehicles were restricted from travelling due to high winds. Adriana and the other receptionists went way beyond the call of duty to help us figure out a solution for getting to our Puerto Natales on time for our flights next day. They spent hours of their time with us.

The facility was new and spotlessly clean. Our room was spacious and comfortable with plenty of outlets, closet space, a large bathroom with an excellent hot shower. The window opening enabled a nice breeze. The breakfast offered lots of options, especially baked goods, juices, and coffee. The bar, lobby and lounge areas were comfortable for sitting. The hotel staff were both welcoming and accommodating with all our requests including storage over two nights between stays while we made a three day trip to El Chaten. We highly recommend this hotel, which is just a ten minute walk to the bus terminal.

Mary The hostess was the warmest person, she helped us with everything we needed. The service was AMAZING, we got everything we asked and the breakfast was personally, according to the time fit us the most. In addition to all of this, she even did our laundry, and gave us all of our cleaned clothes folded perfectly, without extra charge!! If we could rate this place as 11 and not just 10 we would. Very much recommended

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’.

Of course I'm going to complain about the fact that all the experiences "to do" in El Calafate were super expensive to do. I could've stayed much longer but I'm not sure my wallet would've cooperated. All the "Catamaranes" are basically owned by one company, its a monopoly and they get to charge whatever they want. There are no "cheaper" options. We bought 1 full day excursion from Patagonia Chic. The rest of the days we visited the National Parks - Perito Moreno and El Chalten (3 hour drive away from El Calafate) . The National parks are beautiful and very well kept. There's one main road that connects the whole town, from the airport, all the way to the entrance of the Glaciers, its one road, you cannot get lost here! Most of the other roads are unpaved. The city is lively and great to venture around. Fave spot was Lago Argentino. very peaceful we went to Panaderia de Don Luis for pastries, sandwiches and churros Doña Mecha for combos of milanesas and fries Tried "cordero patagonigo" Patagonian Lamb at Rustico Asador & Parrilla - super recommended by our Hostess and on the less expensive options.

Perito Marino glacier is a fantastic place to visit while in El Calafate. Many great cafes and restaurants - Covina, and the Calafate Coffee Roadters are standouts. East to get to El Chalten from here to see Mount FitzRoy. Bird sanctuary in El Calafate is lovely place to visit for a few hours - lots of birds. The museum near the bird sanctuary is also. Wry good with lots of ethnology information and dinosaur stuff too

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.

We travelled Brazil and Argentina for a month and can safely say Patagonia Queen was our favourite stay! More than anything the staff especially Rafael was the most obliging, kind and fun host! We enjoyed a welcome drink on arrival at the hotel and each day received some excellent tips on how to spend our time in El Calafate.
