Detailed Reviews
Stayed here a couple of nights and it felt like home. Lionel in reception was a great host and made sure that all our needs were attended to. Its a small hotel with a very nice restaurant where breakfast is served to the hotel guests but then later is open to general public for lunch, tea time and dinner.
The rooms, on two levels, all open onto a well maintained, grassy and shady rear courtyard that has benches and picnic tables. The rooms are tastefully decorated with simple furniture. The washrooms have abundant warm water and are in good condition. Cleanliness was very good. There's no TV's in the rooms but you can stay home if you want to watch TV. There is a TV though (if you must) in a common room. The Wifi signal doesn't extend to all the rooms but in some and in the common room and main building, and the speed is also very good.
The quiet location is very close to the center with plenty of shops and restaurants within walking distance.

Stayed here over Christmas. Loved the area and the glaciers. The hotel was comfortable and staff was awesome!! It is a small family run hotel and is very centrally located and serviced by most tour companies. They offer laundry services at a reasonable cost and are able to store food for you in their refrigerator, should you need to do so. Breakfast at the hotel was included!

We were very well looked after from our arrival to our departure. The rooms are cozy, well heated. There is no refrigerator in the rooms, but there is a refrigerator in the common area that meets our needs. One caveat, the breakfast has little variety. The breakfast attendant was rude on more than one occasion. But just one small detail, overall we were very satisfied.

The hosteria was ok but ensuite room for the three of us was spartan and only just functional. For the money paid for four nights we could have stayed in a much better place. Location was very good. Staff was helpful and friendly. Breakfast was somewhat better than other places we stayed in Argentina. Place was quiet and easily walking distance to the main business area. We also had an unfortunate incident. A pair of expensive shorts went missing from my adult daughters luggage as we did not lock our suitcases due to trust. We decided not to make a big deal out of the loss as it would have probably gone nowhere. I mention this as a warning to others. After talking to fellow travellers that we enjoyed excursions with there are much better places to stay a little further out from centro. Good luck.

We spent a few nights here, broken up by some overnight trips elsewhere, so we stayed in several rooms. Each one was lovely and perfect for what we needed. The rooms were cozy with comfortable beds. We slept well each time. The best part about staying here was the top notch customer service from reception. We started whatsapping / emailing with them before our trip and were given helpful relationship. They were even able to get us on glacier minitrek for a tour sold out online and generally helped us with transportation. We dined at their restaurant, which was delicious, as well as convenient. For other nights, they made great food recommendations and reservations. Would stay here again without hesitation. Coming back here after our long days of travel was like coming home.

Nice hotel with a nice courtyard. The people at the front desk were very friendly and knowledgeable on activities to do in the area.
Room was very nice overlooking the courtyard. Bed was comfortable and room was clean. Shower had really nice hot water and was really refreshing.
Wi-Fi is good at best and at times not so responsive and may be a regional issue.
I thought breakfast was plentiful and. excellent: strong coffee, delicious cereal, fresh fruits, orange juice, baked items, and some delicious cheese.

We are not hostel people . They are for young hairy people , not old people like us but our attitude has changed since staying here. I have stayed at top rated hotels that this place would embarrass for service. The rooms are clean , well equipped and peaceful. Reception is top notch with fantastic staff. They have very cheap in house laundry and one of the best restaurants in town. Daily cleaning and toiletries and great Wi-Fi. Great position just off the high street. .

A very pleasant hotel with a delicious restaurant. The staff is very kind and helpful, always available to support and solve any issues. Staying at Kau Kaleshen really made a difference in our stay in El Calafate! We enjoyed it a lot. Quite recommended!

This is a lovely little hotel, a block from all the shops and restaurants off the main street in El Calafate. Also, walking distance to shuttle that goes to the Glaciarium Patagonian Ice Museum (don't miss this!). The rooms are small but comfortable and clean. The staff are very friendly and helpful but our favorite part was the terrific restaurant (Kau Kaleshen), attached to the hotel. We chose to eat there all 3 nights.

A lovely one night stay ahead of travelling to Chile.
The most amazing staff that I have ever experienced, I left my iPad behind in my room and the receptionist got in his car to bring it down to the bus station for me before I had even realised that it was missing. A truly kind act going over and above that I have not since forgotten as well as being generally helpful and knowledgeable. Thank you!
