The inn is way too far from the town center forcing you to either have a rental car or walk 40 minutes from the center to get to your hotel. The hotel is just not a practical option if you want to be immersed in El Calafate. The walk is also very dark and a bit rural, making me nervous to walk at night so far out from the town square. Also didn't appreciate that each room did not have its own conditioning/heater system. Our room was way too hot and was not able to be changed to our liking.

Nice Hostel needing better breakfast and WiFi
The hostel was nice. The room was adequate for what we paid and had nice furnishings.the staff were nice and helpful as well. One thing that we were very disappointed about was that the hostel claimed it had WiFi but we never got it to work the entire time we stayed (3 nights). Also, I’m not sure if the people of Argentina are not big on breakfast but you may want to plan on getting breakfast elsewhere as the “breakfast” they offer is subpar at best.

Lovely views from this hotel
We had a lovely stay at this hotel. It is a little out of the way but we knew that and enjoyed the view and the serenity. The staff were pleasant and very helpful with food allergies. The wifi was intermittent but when asked the staff seemed to be able to fix it. We really recommend the restaurant Mirabelle opposite the entry to the nature reserve.

Hotel near Lake Argentina
We stayed this hotel because it got good reviews, but somehow I missed that it was way out of town. Unless you have a car (or like to walk into town ~45min). Staff was very friendly and helpful. Our room (108) was spacious decor with antic looking furniture. Bathroom was nice and clean. Unfortunately this room is right above the main entrance. One hears the door banging or the bus which picks up guests for their booked excursions at 6am - beeping a couple of times. That was rather annoying! The breakfast had a good selection.

The good, the bad and the ugly
The hotel price was OK when we booked it; further, when we mentioned over the email that we were trying to book excursions to Glaciar Perito Moreno and Torres del Paine, they were quick to help us with that. They gave us two prices for the excursions they publicize in their website: one with credit card which was 10% higher, and a "cash" rate. We chose the cash rate. When we arrived, we paid the two excursions (Glacier Perito Moreno and Torres del Paine) and asked for a receipt; the owner told me that the cash rate did not include the 21% VAT so if I wanted a receipt, they were going to add that. I pointed out that this was never brought up in any of the emails we exchanged. Tax evasion is very high in Argentina, and it's especially higher in the tourist industry where many foreigners don't know any better or don't care. I insisted twice more about the receipts; they only appeared in my email after I threatened to file a complain with Argentina's tax authority (AFIP). The first excursion to Perito Moreno was fine, and we had a great day. The next one (to Torres del Paine) was a nightmare; the hotel staff did not know when they were picking us up in the morning but they told us to be ready at 7 to 7:15am (which we did). The next morning the bus showed up at 6am; we were obviously asleep and they left us. We spent the next three plus hours in two small taxis chasing the bus, which we almost missed. Poor to no coordination between hotel and tour operators; not recommended.
