Not worth at all
- fridge not working and second employee just for decoration- broken bedroom curtain- I was woken up at 1am by the employee's failure at check in, charging me the daily rate- the worst crumbled eggs: burned and old- artificial fruit juice- nevera no funciona y segundo empleado solo para decoración- cortina de dormitorio rota- Me despertó a la 1 am por la falla del empleado en el check in, cobrándome la tarifa diaria- los peores huevos desmenuzados: quemados y viejos- jugo de fruta artificial
Very nice hotel located on the top of a hill above El Calafate. We had our own car but the hotel offers shuttle service in the afternoon and evening into "downtown". Staff was very nice and helpful. They even let us change our rooms to a more silent part of the hotel when we did not have a good night sleep in the first rooms. Hotel has a nice and large lap pool, pretty warm and another smaller pool as well as a nice gym area with a view. Breakfast choice was plenty, buffet style.
Over all one could notice that is main tourist season and that the staff cannot pay as much attention as maybe needed. (i.e. maintenance of the pool area) But we experienced the hotel as one of the best in Patagonia in this category and price range.
location overlooking the town and the lake is fabulous. and breakfast was good
rooms were hot and noisy. there was a noise coming from the bathroom all the time - water and air suction. we complained but it happened all night anyway. we had 3 rooms and none of us slept well. expensive hotel and I would never stay there again
The views and indoor pools are nice. One person of the staff called Rashid was helpfull different from the rest.
Hotel lacks maintenenceStained CarpetsBroken mini barBroken SaunaBreakfast buffet where pastries were oldThe worse part was the guy at the reception called Calen who was rude and negleted to give us information about Christmas Eve Dinner and other questions we had about the town.
Amazing view and facilities. The staff was extremely friendly and polite. Very effective.
the view
everything else. it’s a hotel for the masses, crowded and expensive. Avoid it unless your kids desperately need a pool
Disappointing
