Design Suites Calafate

Location is beautiful, view of the lake is spectacular. Staff is friendly and helpful. Design of the hotel and its rooms is nice.

Location is not practical if you don’t have your own car or are not part of a tour group. Center of town is too far to walk and food options in the vicinity of the hotel are very limited (none, really). There is a shuttle twice per day but the times were inconvenient for us. WiFi didn’t work because of a ‘problem with the provider’, we were there for 4 days and it looks like the provider didn’t fix the issue. They said it was a problem all over town because it was overcast that day but if I were them I’d look for a different provider because WiFi was working fine in the restaurants we visited. There was a very limited selection of flyers for activities or day trips in the lobby and none of the most popular ones. In combination with the WiFi problem and the distance from the town center we found this a problem because we only had the very short descriptions or even price lists from a folder of a local tour operator they work with to base our choices on. The design of the rooms is beautiful, but quality of construction and maintenance is lacking: the tv isn’t mounted straight, same goes for the bathroom tiles. The reading lights almost fell from the wall. Tiles in our bathroom were cracked and the spa bath + shower looked so gross we didn’t want to shower there much less use the spa functions. The carpet was stained and there was dust on some features near the ceiling.

prefect view of lake and sunset.this hotel outlook is very very cool!!

absolutely great location. if you stay for more than 2 nights, choose for lake view; it's worth it
