The hotel is very comfortable. We stay in a room of 3 people, extremely wide and with view to the mountains. Very good bathroom, comfortable bed. Very tasty breakfast. We find the restaurant the best of the trip and with good prices. The staff are extremely efficient and efficient.Special mention to Mariano and Valentina. The hotel does not have lifts and TV in the room. We would be there again next time.

Chalten Suites in the centre of El Chalten is more of an upmarket hotel more for people seeking comfort than just a place to throw a sleeping bag onto the floor. The rooms are quaint and spacious enough and the bathroom is fine. Water pressure in the shower is satisfactory. The bed is comfortable and the heating works as it should in such a cold place. The included breakfasts were excellent, especially to charge your body up for a long hike. The staff are extremely helpful and do go out of their way to try to ensure your stay goes well. They will organise shuttles to walks and offer advice for those unfamiliar with the local attractions. When the lovely receptionist mentions a shorter walk to Laguna Capri, ignore that and go with the longer walk option (see review on Chalten walks). There are only a few negatives for the hotel. Top of the list is the poor Wi-Fi, which is annoyingly unreliable. However, that could be a location problem for the whole town. That said, in all my weeks of travel throughout South America, this is the only place with bad Wi-Fi. Next is the cheap toilet paper, a silly thing really as it is so unnecessary. Especially when you have to use twice as much for the same job. Lastly, the restaurant in the hotel is limited. It has a nice ambience and good views but the menu is limited and lacking in national dishes. I paid $US200 per night and stayed 3 nights. For that fee, one would expect better internet. Overall, there aren’t many flash hotels in El Chalten and Chalten Suites does provide a necessary service for tourists rather than adventurers. As such, it is a very good option if travelling to this part of Patagonia. Check out my other reviews of places, hotels and experiences throughout South America.

This hotel was very clean and nicely decorated to make it welcoming and cozy. The front desk personal were very friendly and knowledgeable about the area. The breakfast consisted of sweet breads, jams, cereals, yoghurt, multi grain bread and hard boiled eggs. It was quite enjoyable and filling. The mattresses were very comfortable also. We made a great choice in selecting this hotel.

We are incredibly happy with our 5nights stay at Poincenot! I had forgotten that we booked a twin bedroom so at check in, I was asking if they have a room with double beds instead, without really hoping for too much. The lady at reception actually went above and beyond, walked up and down & checked a few rooms for us, although in the end we needed to take the twin room which was fine. Breakfast was great everyday, not too much option but can get your morning going for sure. What I loved most was the housekeeping! They turned our bed down daily, kept our room nice and clean which was a joy to come back to after a long day hike. We put the twin beds together and the next day when we returned, they made it a double bed by adding some extra mattress, what a star! I would highly recommend this place - though it’s a bit of a walk from the bus station but you will be surrounded by restaurants and shops anyway.

Very clean room, Argentina is very warm whether it is a big city or a small town, the star rating is very warm

This is an average place. It’s not bad but not good either. The Wi-Fi was worthless, took us an hour to book a stay at our next destination because it kept dropping us or stalling. Others at the hotel indicated the same experience. Security is very lacking here. The management requires that you leave the key if you are leaving the building. However, the process of retrieving or leaving your key is simply to do it yourself with no staff verifying that the correct key is taken. Cleanliness at breakfast is also lacking. The staff wear latex gloves. But these are only to protect their hands, not your food. I say this because the staff wear the gloves while they prepare food, handle luggage, or pet the neighborhood cat or dog that comes to visit - all with the same gloves. Besides these complaints, the rooms are comfortable and the staff are helpful and nice. I preferred other places in town but in a pinch, this place is workable.
