“Poor service for a hotel with illusions of grandeur”...totally agree with this previous review. A very cold place at night, with not heat at all...the heating system did not work and we requested two extra blankets because we were unable to sleep, bugs in the bath tub and mushrooms growing from the wall and ceiling of a room. Front desk... More

We booked into this hotel based on the many reviews we read. Little that we knew the hotel is 3 miles from the center of the town and very little in between. If you want to walk you will find thrown okay garbage on the side of the road, empty lots, sewer being discarded onto the street pavement and stray... More

We stayed in total 4 nights at this Hosteria. The rooms are spacious and offer suffiicient opportunity for relaxing. We especially enjoyed the quality of the restaurant. Out of the 4 nights, we chose 3 nights to eat at the own restaurant. The quality amazed us. The price is lower than the restaurants downtime, so another reason to eat here.... More

A little walk outside of the town centre, but with nice views, we stayed two nights at Hosteria los Hielos. Because we were on the outskirts of town, we were one of the lasts to be picked up for our trip to the glaciers. fantastic, as this meant sleeping a bit longer than those who were down town! the restaurant...

We stayed at Los Hielos april 2011, the accommodation was fine but we want to warn all visitors about the safety in the hotel !! During our stay several items were stolen out of our room (such as photo camera, clothes,..). The management first agreed on their responsibility and promised us to refund the stolen items. Finally they did not... More

We knew the hotel was not in town, however I had not really considered what this would mean in terms of overall experience. Calafate is a charming little town, and worth staying in. The taxi to and from town cost us at least 20 pesos each way, and was just annoying. The location is actually quite close to the neighbours,... More

We stayed in February, 2010 in our last leg of Argentina trip. The hotel is located on the outskirts of town. Expect a 30 minute walk into the centre of town. The hotel service really separated this hotel from the rest of the ones we stayed at. Friendly, courteous staff knows you by name. The hotel is small and we... More

Our room was lovely and large, with a sitting area/bay window looking out at the lake...Actually every room faces the lake. It is out of town but an easy walk to the center and an inexpensive cab ride back. Service was friendly and most helpful booking dinner reservations. This is a very comfortable relaxing small hotel. A couple of drawback,... More

We spent three nights at Los Hielos while in El Calafate and enjoyed it immensely. It is small, quiet, a little out of the way (a good thing in El Calafate), clean and comfortable. The rooms were excellent, with a nice view of the water (including flamingos!) and the staff very helpful. In addition, it is a great base for... More
