“Good value for money stay”
The location is good. Not far from the centre. Plenty of parking and nice views across the gardens and lake. The room was comfortable. There is a nice restaurant Morrisons just down the street. The staff are very welcoming and helpful. Very popular with hiking groups so usually a good atmosphere.

“El Calafate, the Glaciers and Hotel Picos Del Sur make for a memorable and wonderful trip”
Fantastic hotel, perfect location, quiet, yet only 5 minutes to El Calafate centre and 10 minutes walking to bus station. Nice bright, good sized bedrooms. Beautiful terrace with lovely views of their garden and across to the lake. Nice bar, excellent service. Staff are brilliant, especially Luis, who goes out of his way to make you feel welcome, and well supported. It’s a bargain, especially with breakfast included.

“Very good. Better than expected.”
The location is good - 10 minutes walking from the main street. The facility of the hotel is good also. Staff are very friendly and can speak English fluently - which is a plus for non-Spanish speaker. Overall, it's a good and valuable choice.
