    The walls are paper thin so you can hear everything. Luckily I had many late nights and early mornings. This should not deter you since the place is great and everything is just a walk away.

    I loved the staff and how welcoming they were. They made me feel like family.

    No complaints!

    We are writing this from the airport after being dropped off by Mariano of MadreTierra. This was the most amazing spot to stay! Mariano made us feel like family. When one of our day tours fell through on the morning of the tour, Mariano arranged a full day for us to hike in el Chaltén. It was incredible and no doubt better than the tour that didn’t work out. Abby helped us navigate reserving national park tickets online (our Spanish is very limited). And when we needed laundry done last minute, again Mariano saved the day!! The room was perfect and we slept very well. The property is located near great restaurants and the staff suggested places to eat (all were good)! Without a doubt, if you are visiting el Calafate, stay here!

    It was a little pricey but we were in 'high season'.

    It was really well located just off the main street 'Liberator' with an abundance of great restaurants close by. The staff are very accommodating and the place is very clean. Would stay here again.

    No AC/no fan in room, however, I’m sure if I had inquired they would have provided a plug-in fan

    We only could stay one night as our flight was booked to leave the day. Next time we will spend more time here. I recommend NOT using Booking to make the reservation. Contact hotel directly.

    Comfortable and exceptionally well-maintained facility. Genuinely friendly and helpful team. Delicious and customized breakfast includes local pastry treats, fresh meats and cheeses, yogurt and toppings, fresh juices, and coffee. Central location, being two blocks from main street or three blocks from the lake.

    Cute and Cozy in El Calafate

    Checkout time was awfully early (10 am) and they were inflexible about that, though they did allow us to store our suitcases. It might be more affordable to go with a hotel that doesn't require full payment up front given that the exchange rate fluctuates so much in Argentina.

    This was a really cute place to stay for a fairly reasonable rate (not cheap because we had to pay up front, and in dollars). I'm under the impression that it's not easy to find such cozy places in El Calafate. The place felt more like a BandB because of its small scale (almost like a little house). It has a lounge, a Yoga nook, and it's kept at very comfortable temperatures. We didn't eat breakfast there, as we don't usually have large breakfasts and therefore don't want to shell out for more than we'd eat, but the food looked good. In any case we managed to find some excellent coffeeshops nearby, but I can also see why people might want to eat in-house, as it's hard to find good food in El Calafate. We didn't ask much of the staff, but the cleaning staff was quite friendly, and the front desk helped us obtain a prepaid taxi back to the airport for only a couple of extra dollars. It was very quiet and on a side street that was still very close to the main drag and to the Laguna Nimez bird reserve. I know that they can point you towards excursions as well but we'd pre-arranged things on that front and were happy with our choice.

    The stay started with a wonderful check in process- we were given a welcome drink and chatted about recommendations for the area. The room was clean and comfortable with a nice en suite- we slept well in a comfortable bed. In the morning they again helped us with recommendations and drove us to the airport for a small fee.
