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’.

    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.

    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.

    Will always recommend this hotel to anyone staying in el calafate. Fantastic hotel with a amazing restaurant. The hotel is very picturesque, comfortable and clean, with very kind and attentive staff. They have an amazing chef at their restaurant, with delicious, homemade, thoughtfully-prepared food and desserts. Their food is amazing and their dessert menu is incredible! They also offer delicious boxed lunches to-go if you’re going on tours during the day. I would 100% stay here again.

    Comfortable bed and breakfast inn owned by a very friendly and hardworking couple. The lunch prepared for our Glacier tour was delicious, and the dinner was the best meal we had during our 2.5 week vacation in South America. We had salmon with mash potatoes with veggies, bolognese pasta, and bruschetta. Meals except for breakfast come at an extra cost, but if I were to come to El Calafate again I would gladly pay for their dinner again over eating in town. So delicious!

    The view is the best part of this hotel! Every room has a view of the beautiful lake and it was def my favorite aspect. It is a simple hotel, everything is done well (cleaning is fine, the staff is nice, and there are amenities like massage offered) but nothing extremely unusual. Also, one of the best breakfast buffets I've had in Argentina, with many different sweet pastries, fruits, cereal, cheese, ham, etc

    It is a very cosy place facing late Argentina. The place is tidy and quite. Susan is the best host I have ever met. She is kind, generous and warm. I dont speak Spanish but we talked a lot using translator. I feel so relaxed with her in her cosy place. If you have more time highly suggest you spend more days here to clear up the mind. Very enjoyable and peaceful stay.

    This is a very nice place to stay in a quiet part of El Calafate yet only a short walk to the centre. The owners, Ian and Tatiana, are nice and friendly, and are always happy to help with bookings, recommendations, etc. We didn't have dinner at Karut Josh but the sandwiches they prepare for the vianda were delicious.
