"Nice, and importantly for us, quiet hostel. While there was a shared kitchen and bathroom this was not a young party hostel. It was very quiet and very clean. Nothing fancy, but no complaints from us. It's just a few blocks from the main street for restaurants and shops. And we made use of the kitchen for breakfast, lunch and one dinner. "

Top El Calafate Hotel Reviews

Los Canelos

Los Canelos

10/10 Excellent
"Stayed 2 nights at Los Canelos in El Calafate, Argentina. Spotlessly clean, beautiful place inside and out. The view from the hotel restaurant and rooms (#105) is breathtaking. The sunrise over the mountains right in front of the hotel in the distance is not to be missed. Well appointed rooms. Copious self serve buffet breakfast. Also had both dinners at the hotel restaurant, great local dishes on the menu of the day and a very diverse a la carte option. Walking distance from the center of El Calafate and the beautiful walking path along the lake. Also walking distance from the bus terminal. Highly recommend."
