Very nice hotel, great breakfast ( the eggs were very wet and runny but they will cook you eggs that aren't). Location is near Fitzroy Roy trail head and plenty of bars and restaurants nearby. Very quiet hotel.

It’s definitely one of the three nicest hotels in town. The hidden gem is the restaurant. On a street littered with same-same backpacker joints, this restaurant has a real chef and grows its own vegetables. Because it’s not on the main drag it’s easy to walk into even when other places have a wait. In my experience it’s the best in town.

We absolutely loved this hotel and was told it’s one of the best in the town. We can confirm. We enjoyed the bed, shower, and pool + jacuzzi. It’s really needed after a long hike.
Staff was very welcoming and the breakfast was superb with lots of options to choose from.

Beautiful hotel in the heart of El Chalten
I love everything about this hotel. The location is very convenient (close to restaurants and shops and walking distance to trails). The room was spacious, the bed and sheets very comfortable. After a long day of hiking, going to the spa was awesome. I strongly recommend it!

Nice property- well located as you can start your treks from there. I found some of the reception staff not the most helpful and a bit 'blasé'.We needed a fan to sleep as the room was super warm even though outside was relatively cool- poor insulation and lack of ability to open windows very much

Large Rooms and Nice Spa
This is probably the best hotel in El Chalten. Our room was large with a big bathroom. Good breakfast. Nice spa area with jacuzzi, steam room, and sauna.
The one problem was the slow wi-fi; sometimes we couldn't get a signal at all.

Everything was great! We arrived in the evening and the room was warm, clean and inviting. The staff were very helpful and let us store our bags there for a couple days while we went into the park to camp and didn’t want to take them with us. Overall really great value for the cost!

Really great property but we had experienced power outages 2 days in a row. That also affected water pressure- no sink no shower. Nice restaurant for dinner - and close to trails and town
