Hotels near Comandante Armando Tola International Airport, El Calafate

The Design Suite Hotel is exactly what it is called. It is a very design and very beautiful hotel. It should be the best view hotel in Calafate to see the Lake of Argentina. Each room has a whole window overlooking the lake. While slowly admiring the beautiful lake view, snow peaks, blue sky and white clouds. The restaurant is very beautiful, the breakfast is rich, the taste is good, the service is very warm, and the English is very good. It is very intimate that you can order a lunch set on the glacier hike, and there are oversized sandwiches, apples, water, chocolate pie, and energy bars, which are very worthwhile. Walk along the lake to the town center in about half an hour, and also pass through the wetland park. There are buses to and from the airport to pick up and drop off, following the bus is equivalent to a day trip to the town! All in all, very good value for money.

Hotel is made of cardboard. Walls super thin and there is zero control of other guests. I know it’s hard to control but when other guests leave their door Ld open and party in the halls come on!?! At least Daniel at front desk moved us. Some runs have micro safes and barely any room to put anything incl a laptop. No hot water one morning. Fun taking a shower. Mattresses were poor and warped. Breakfast was pretty lousy. Pool and spa looked okay. Dirt, dusty road to walk to downtown. Do not get a room on first floor. Workers loom in you room and can’t leave window open for some fresh air since no A/C. Hard pass.

Beautiful clean and modern rooms, finished to perfection! The receptionists were very helpful with everything I.e early check in, booking tours, airport taxi’s and general advice Also in a fantastic location. 15 minute walk to a Laguna and 10 minute walk into the main town. Highly recommend this place to anyone - couples, families or groups! Exactly what we needed for a few days here ☺️

We stayed here for 3 nights. It’s a nice hotel with friendly staff. It’s the small things that bother me like on the 2nd floor at the elevator only the up button can be pressed. At breakfast, at 09:00 when we came for breakfast the eggs were cold. The next day we had a pickup at 07:10 and they said breakfast starts at 06;00. I guess nobody told the kitchen staff. They only put out the food at 06:25 and the eggs were cold. The 3rd day we went down at 06:20 and everyone still had to wait for them. And guess what, the eggs were cold. The rooms are nice and you have a nice view from the room to lake Argentina.

Room is nice and good size. Has sufficient space for 2. Breakfast is a nice spread, although it is exactly the sane everyday. Hotel has sauna, gym and massage services (cheaper than street prices for tourists). Location is super convenient, easy walk to town for food and shopping. Also very near to the free shuttle to the Glaciaruim.

We stayed at the Boutique Hotel La Cantera in El Calafate for 3-nights in mid-Oct, two nights while visiting the Perito Morena Glacier and one night after returning from a visit to Ushuaia and before taking the bus to Chile ($120 US/night). The hotel is on a hill 5-blocks above main street (with all of the restaurants, shops), so a car is an asset; however, for those without, they offer an evening shuttle with a local taxi for less than $1. Plenty of free parking is available. The hotel is in two buildings, each on its own terrace. Our superior doubles were on the upper terrace in the building with reception and the restaurant. Both were spacious, although one had a large entry area and more plush furnishings. There was a king bed with side tables, an open cabinet for clothes, safe, mini-refrigerator, TV, and two chairs and a table by the window with a view of the lake over the front building. It was fronted by a terrace with some lawn furniture that was accessible by going through the lobby or simply stepping out over the low-silled window. We didn't use it, though, because of the howling, cold wind at this time of year. The room was heated by a sub-floor system with no controller in the room; we found it too warm, so had to prop the window open at night. Breakfast was good, with a choice of eggs, fresh-squeezed orange juice, mimosas, and the regular ham, cheese, and baked items. The staff were friendly and helpful. They stored a bag for us while we were on our excursion to Ushuaia, and were helpful in arranging a taxi to get us to our 8 am bus to Chile. A pleasant and comfortable boutique hotel.

We had a wonderful stay at this hotel! Nice room with balcony. The staff was extremely accommodating. I am a psychotherapist and needed a private space at one point during my stay to have a session with a client who was in crisis. They were able to provide me that space and were quite sympathetic. It was easily walkable to town each day, and we had no problem arranging a tour to take us to the glacier. For an extra charge, the hotel was able to provide us a very nice lunch for the time that we were at the glacier. We dined in the restaurant for dinner two of the nights, and both experiences were wonderful. The food was top-notch for dinner, and the cocktails were also superb! The breakfast each morning, which I believe was included, was absolutely delicious! There were a lot of healthy options provided. I would also like to highly recommend the medical facility that was quite close to the hotel, TMSALUD. I had an issue with my knee and got in quickly to have a consult with Dr. Gimenez, who was INCREDIBLE! Overall, I would absolutely recommend this hotel not only for the accommodations, but for location to all the attractions nearby.

Although the hotel is not in the town center, the hotel provides a shuttle bus to and from the town center every hour, and the drive is about 15 minutes, not far. The hotel is located on the shores of Lake Argentine, with beautiful scenery and gorgeous sunrise colors! The front desk of the hotel has a service to provide local tourism projects. The lady has a very good attitude and helps our family to arrange the itinerary. The town is not big and has a very breath of life!

The hotel is not in the city centre but very close to the Argentino Lake. The hotel offers a shuttle bus to and from the city centre, which is convenient. The breakfast was simple and the room facilities were average but comfortable.

Very disappointed with my stay at the Hotel, I detail my experience below so that you think well before choosing it: Upon arrival and check-in, they informed me that the price they had quoted me by phone and email was not the final price, since it was ”without VAT”, so I had to pay much more than what I was informed. Very inconvenient and unprofessional. The first night I decided with my partner to have dinner in the hotel restaurant. I had to get up from the table to ask for a menu because the attention was terrible.  Literally HALF AN HOUR AFTER ORDERING our food, the waitress came over to tell us that ONE OF THE DISHES WAS NOT AVAILABLE! One hour wait for food and food arrived at the table at 11:20 p.m.  A real disaster. The food service to the room has an extra cost of $1,000 if you ask that the food be brought to your room. Breakfast is nothing special and pretty disappointing. The WIFI signal is bad and the SPA and sauna service that they boast so much about on the website are not a big thing. MY SPA TREATMENT WAS NOT RELAXING AT ALL. I WAS FREEZING THE WHOLE TIME AND ROOM WAS SO BRIGHT I JUST WANTED TO LEAVE! No kettle if you need to heat water, the furniture is old and the TV is also very old, no Netflix or YouTube, like any 5 star hotel of nowadays. The pool is very small, zero privacy or comfort if there are other people enjoying it.  It has a few lounge chairs piled up in a corner so you don't even want to stay there. In conclusion, I was expecting a quality service according to the high price they charge and I was very disappointed. Far from recommending this hotel as there are so many other much better options at a lower price. It really sucks that they take advantage of people like that and that they boast of being a luxury 5-star hotel when they clearly are not.
