Hosteria Los Hielos

“Quaint Hotel with all that is needed in Calafate”

We stayed at Hosteria Los Hielos in Calafate, a beautiful hotel on the edge of Calafate. The rooms were great, comfortable beds. We had a room for us and a three bed room for the kids. We had New Year’s Eve dinner (2022-2023) there and the food & service were excellent!

“My favorite hotel in Argentina thus far”

I booked last minute because the original hotel I planned staying in is full, and they recommended this hotel to me. Initially I was a bit worried about the location, but a downtown location really isnt necessary bec the tours have pick ups, and the hotel provides transport to and from downtown in the evening. In any case, what I love about this hotel is the hospitality and service. The staff are very lovely and warm, and helpful. The rooms are very clean as well. Everything was beyond expected. I stayed for 3 nights, and then stayed another night when I came back from El Chalten.

“Sometimes peaceful”

Lovely hotel outside of the cute town of El Calafate. Did take the free shuttle into town twice for dinner. Just wish it came back a bit sooner. Stayed here before and after a trip to El Chalten. First room's jacuzzi didn't work, but second one's did and I sure needed it after the 15 mile hike … lisää

Lovely hotel outside of the cute town of El Calafate. Did take the free shuttle into town twice for dinner. Just wish it came back a bit sooner. Stayed here before and after a trip to El Chalten. First room's jacuzzi didn't work, but second one's did and I sure needed it after the 15 mile hike to the base of Fitz Roy! Last night there, we were too exhausted to go back into town and ate at the hotel. Dinner was pretty good, better than breakfast. I will say, scrambled eggs were available every day, you just had to ask for them. Staff was friendly and helpful. I said "Sometimes peaceful" because the free-roaming dogs of this town started barking at 5:00 a.m. and did wake me up a couple mornings, and walls are thin and I did have to ask staff to ask neighbors to quiet down who were gathered in the room next door and talking quite loud. Would have been more convenient closer to town, but then again, it was nice to enjoy the serene lake view and watch the birds on the property.

“Hotel in El Calafate”

Small town with some of the worlds best scenery but unfortunately no accomodation to match! Los Helios has nice rooms that are reasonably well appointed and comfortable but the rest of its offering falls very short of high quality.

Small town with some of the worlds best scenery but unfortunately no accomodation to match! Los Helios has nice rooms that are reasonably well appointed and comfortable but the rest of its offering falls very short of high quality. Great views of the lake and only about 3 kms from the main town. Access is either by foot (long walk, especially if wet or windy) or by taxi (cheap and best way to go). The in house restaurant is extremely poor and this is reflected in both the breakfast offered. Dining in should be missed if at all possible.
