2-Star Hotels in El Calafate

Ubicado a poca distancia del centro, 5 minutos andando. Las camas muy comodas, habitación con baño privado con ducha muy grande, instalaciones limpias. Amplio salon comedor muy bonito con unas vistas muy lindas para ver la puesta de sol. Destacar la amabilidad de el personal y predisposición para ayudar, aconsejar en todo, les doy un 10. Muy contenta con las estancia, sin duda repetiría.

Large hostel close to bus terminal has a lot of information for travellers and can arrange morning bus excursion to Perito Moreno glacier for you. Friendly and helpful staff. Uber clean areas throughout. Personal power points  and light at each bunk plus large slide out storage underneath that you can lock with your own device. Never need to wait for toilet or shower as they have large bathrooms with 6 cubicles and 7 showers for men and I presume for women. Decent breakfast of many types of breads with jam, cakes, cereal, cut fruit, juices and coffee & tea. Had to pay extra for towel. Curtains around each bunk would stop the bright light from one bunk disturbing person in opposite bunk. The images for men and women on bathroom signage are similar. I had to look twice  and a girl ended up in the men's shower room when I was there.

The Glaciar Libertador provides more of a ”cabin - hostel” vibe than that of a proper hotel. The cleaning ladies were polite and keep the place in a decent shape, but the hotel doesn't make you feel very welcome. Reception is matter of fact, breakfast is decent but serving rather stingy portions - you need to make effort to get a decent serving of scrambled eggs for example. As such, the hotel is rather overpriced for what you get. As a traveler and guest I'd prefer to be left out of politics. However, the hotel's prominent support through its window display for Israel (flag + sign reading ”we stand by Israel”), that so far has murdered over 30.000 civilians (70% women and children), made my stay rather uncomfortable. Knowing it's a rather ”polemic” political topic that perhaps has no place on tripadvisor, considering that it was the hotel's decision to take a clear public political stance, I also feel that it is helpful to share here for those travellers who wish to take an informed and conscious decision on whether to stay here. I certainly would have wanted to know before booking online.

The staff here were so so helpful. They helped me to book my buses, were so quick with laundry and helped me find a place to fix my broken sunglasses. They also went above and beyond when I rang them in the middle of a tour after realising I hadn’t locked my locker in my dorm and was worried about my bag - they went and got my bag and held it safely behind reception till I got back from my tour. The hostel is very homey with small dorms, cosy beds and a nice sitting area and garden. Breakfast is also included (not a huge selection but does the job) and they offer a packed lunch service for tours.

We booked a two bedroom apartment and it was excellent. Large size apartment with everything that you’d expect from an apartment style accommodation. Checkin was swift and service was great with very friendly staff. Calm, serene location with views of the spectacular Lago Argentino. Although the location is a little out of town, we had a rental car so this didn’t bother us.

Lovely homely hotel within walking distance of the bus (which was handy as we arrived very late at night). Despite the late time the owners were super helpful and welcoming. Breakfast was plentiful and delicious and the owner offered to bring me a hairdryer when I came out with wet hair (not necessary but the offer was kind).

Off course opinions vary, I know. Our expirience was not that great. On the positive side, rates are interesting compared to other ho(s)tels. Laundry service is nice. But that's pretty much it. The expression 'when you pay peanuts, you get...' exists for a reason. That everything is basic comes with a cheap hostel. But some things are a bit too basic, like for instance the matrass. Isolation is literally zero, aspecially when you are sleeping roadside. Earplugs is a must, and even then you have to be lucky to get some sleep. Enough people will call the breakfast simple but sufficient, or something like that. But it's hard to call slices of bread to toast and orange parts sufficient. And to conclude with; I guess you could say staff is friendly, but apart from that pretty incompetent.

We booked a private bathroom in a corridor with several rooms. The room was comfortable and a person came to clean every day. This corridor has a door separated from the common area with reception, tables and sofas. I was sometimes a little noisy because of the staff's conversations, and as I was in the last room at the end of the corridor, I was not disturbed, perhaps anyone in the nearby rooms would have felt more. The girl who attended us, Mili, was very kind and demanding, and has a kitchen released from 11:00 to 23:00 for anyone who wants to use. The location is in a quiet area, you need to walk a little to the center, around 15 minutes, but nothing too much.
