"I arrived solo at I Keu Ken Hostel on my first night in Argentina/Patagonia. Met great people there to hang out with. I was only there one night and it was definitely nice to arrive at a friendly hostel. The woman at the check-in desk (I forgot her name but she was from Costa Rica) was a gem. So nice, funny, and welcoming. She also made a dinner reservation for us at her friend's restaurant. He makes meals for local in his home! It was such a beautiful experience."

Design Suites Calafate

Design Suites Calafate

10/10 Excellent
"Our stay at Design Suites Hotel in El Calafate was absolutely fantastic—easily one of the best places to stay in the area. The highlight? Without a doubt, the breathtaking view of Lake Argentino. If you’re booking, make sure to reserve a room facing the lake—it’s truly unforgettable, especially at sunrise and sunset. The hotel itself was spotless, well-maintained, and very comfortable. The staff went above and beyond to be welcoming and helpful, making the entire experience even more enjoyable. We also found that having a rental car made a big difference. It gave us the flexibility to easily access the main street in El Calafate and explore the surrounding areas without any hassle. Overall, a perfect blend of comfort, scenery, and convenience—highly recommended for anyone visiting Patagonia."
