It was a small boutique which is nice. The little restaurant is pretty good, and they had a nice breakfast buffet.

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’.

The personnel at the hotel was tremendously helpful.
The personnel at the hotel was tremendously helpful. They helped me in a difficult situation where I had to buy airline tickets on an emergency basis. They helped organize an excursion, a trip to Perito Moreno and to organize transportation for my group of 13 to and from the airport.
My room was beautiful; in fact, all of our rooms were wonderful.
This is a quiet place.

The only thing to really do is visit the glacier.
The only thing to really do is visit the glacier. I thought we could do more to make an extra day worthwhile but the tours to visit the other parts of the park were super expensive. All tours in the area were way too pricey and you can’t really do anything else without a tour. The restaurants are good, but in general I think Chaltén has a lot more to do and see.

The trip to the Glacier was memorable, the people friendly and helpful. Restaurants were excellent and you could walk anywhere in town easily from any hotel in the central area. We had a lot of fun here! Highly recommend the Patagonia Queen Boutique Hotel. Rafael will take great care of you!

I am a tour guide and I come to calafate with groups, at the end of my work I have a day or two of rest for myself. it is a beautiful city. although it should improve its internet service (it is regular everywhere) and they have too many dogs loose in the streets although they are not aggressive.

El Calafate is the place to be for visiting the famous Perito Moreno Glacier. We did the Big Ice Adventure with Hiele Aventura and it was amazing. The town itself is fine but very touristy.
The waffle café elba'r and the Patagonia Brewery were the best places we went to eat and drink.
The Glaciarium was interesting, a very text-heavy museum, lots to read. We went to the Ice Bar there too, however I'd already been to the same concept in another city - if you've been to one, you've been to them all.

I did not like this hotel.
I did not like this hotel. It was miserable and did not live up to its advertising in booking at all. No good cuisine , no hot tub as advertised This is not a 5@4 star whitely and you are advertising it incorrectly
Room was way better than what it looked like in Booking.com, they were nice and spacious and plenty of hooks for our weather beaten jackets at the end of the day.
Great breakfast.
Very courteous staff - easy communication through Whatsapp. No Cabify/Uber in El Calafate but we were able to easily message the front desk and request a taxi no matter where we were in town. Our tour pick-ups were also conveniently confirmed this way. Very efficient!
Would stay here again!
Both hosts were fantastic, very attentive and always on hand to ask any questions. The rooms were great, big size, very clean with anything you many need. The free breakfast was one of the best I have had in Argentina, a big range of foods, from toast and croissants to eggs, cereal, ham and cheese. There was also a selection of fruit, fruit juices and yoghurts… with cakes for after too!
Highly recommend 10/10
the location was nice outside of town and closer to the glacier. it was a quiet property and having the onsite restaurant was convenient too. both my lunch and dinner were very good and reasonably priced. the wifi worked well, a luxury in Argentina for sure. the lady who checked me in was very nice, I for arrive and spoke for English!
The staff was very friendly and helpful. The rooms and beds are comfortable and have a beautiful view of Lake Argentina. It’s 6 blocks down hill to the Main Street. They had a great breakfast also (we didn’t have dinner there however they do offer it). The front desk staff was super helpful in arranging activities and cabs for us.
Great location--one block off the main drag--super friendly staff, really clean rooms. They have the best/fastest wifi I've found on my trip thus far, which was great as I'm working while I travel. The provided breakfast is delicious and the whole atmosphere of the hotel is super cute!
Centrally located and you can find many restaurants and bars around. Please don’t expect something 5 star, it’s an old building like most other places in El Calafate, but I do like that they supplement it with good quality linens and towels. Also love the hospitality of the staff.
Simple lodging with comfortable beds and 2 pillow options. Lovely staff. Decent breakfast with more options available than is typical in Argentina.
Organised a Perito Moreno tour and airport transfer through the hotel, both were with the same driver and very good.
Everyone comes to El Calafate should consider Hotel ACA. The location is great, one block to the center of the main street. The room was clean and warm. All staff were friendly and helpful. The price was fair enough. There was nothing I can complain about.
We loved the Eco Vista Hotel and the manager, John. It was simple, comfortable, and spacious. Neatly tucked away from the major nightlife in El Calafate, but still very walkable. Note that there is no A/C so you will want to open a window in the summer.
The location was excellent. Was within walking distance of everything necessary. The room was very clean. If you are looking for a great steak you need to go to Casimiro Biguá Parrilla & Restaurant. It was the best steak we had in Argentina.
Pretty hotel a little bit outside of El Calafate (car or taxi required) with lovely views over the lake. Staff were incredibly helpful and accommodating. Room was very comfortable. Breakfast was very good.
This place is absolutely perfect. It is clean, spacious and bright. We loved the little walk to the city centre, and the host was extremely helpful. One of the best stays we had in Argentina!
Hotel Aca el Calafate delivers what promises: small but comfortable room, cleans sheets and towels. Comfortable bed, basic but correct breakfast. Great location. Pleasant and helpful staff.
Comfortable, modern hotel on the outskirts of El Calafate. Good size room with comfortable bed and modern bathroom. Decent breakfast included. Off-street parking. Friendly staff.
Great location, nice hotel room. Very helpful staff, especially Gabriel made a fantastic job. With his help was easy to “arrive” in El Calafate quickly. Great job!
Very comfortable, the owner is very helpful, awesome vibe and decoration in the house. Kitchen has all the equipment you will need. Best shower in all Argentina!
Not much. The only positive point is the location, near the city center (El Calafate), besides you need to cross a small pedestrian bridge to reach the hotel.
The best hotel I've stayed so far in my travels. Team is extremely helpful and rooms are very comfy and clean. Definitely planning to come back eventually.
