El Chaltén hotellia

Plussat: It is expensive to stay in El Chalten compared to other towns we visit in patagonia. This place was the least expensive but still nice place we found. You can hear the neighbors quit well so bring earplugs, but again this is quit common wherever you stay in Patagonia. We would recommend this place!

Plussat: Absolutely clean and high standard room, located at the calm end of El Chaltén‘s main street. We were able to do washing for a reasonable price. The owners gave us the good advice to take a transport towards the northern path up to Mount Fitz Roy to see more than when going up and back the same, regular path. Was well worth the money.

Plussat: Claudia is the star here. Very hospitable and sincere. She immediately began providing us with tips on the trails and what we can do based on weather conditions. Room is CLEAN and spacious. Water is HOT, which is great after getting soaked on a hike. Breakfast is sufficient, could use some eggs but it’s good for getting your day started. Very sad to leave and hope to return.

Miinukset: Our stay was great. Weather wasn’t but that’s the only thing Claudia couldn’t help us with :)

Plussat: Room was spotless and the hosts were lovely

Miinukset: It was a bit noisy as the walls were very thin

Plussat: Nice and cozy.

Miinukset: Room is a little small for 2 Persons with hiking luggage.

Plussat: Very clean large room with comfortable and large bed! Good bathroom with good ventilating options. Reception was friendly and helpful!

Plussat: Claudia is the PLUS of this place. She was so helpful in helping to plan our trip, considering the time we had available and the weather forecast. Rooms are good, clean. Breakfast is abundant and homemade. Location is waking distance from everything you need.

Plussat: its a good value for money and the hosts are a supernice couple! they helped us with suggestions what to do in a rainy day, what to see, what we need to know about the trek etc, and also they suggested the best dinner places.

Plussat: Augustina and Lina are really nice! They make really nice food, the breakfast is amazing and they are so friendly and want to help you out with everything. Shampoo and conditioner is provided and they have good restaurant suggestions.

Miinukset: The room was a little bit damp but that has to do with the weather conditions..

Plussat: Cristina was wonderful and So knowledgable about the area. The hostel itself was in a great location, had a great breakfast and would absolutely return.

Plussat: It was a warm, cosy, friendly, home away from home. We enjoyed our 5 nights here. Lina and Augustina were fabulous, great hiking and restaurant advice, and the breakfasts were delicious. Vegemite for the Aussies and an avocado for the vegan one morning! The beds are really comfortable and there’s a good hot shower - both very important after a long day hiking.

Miinukset: There’s nothing I didn’t like! But a couple of extra hooks on the walls would be great (to hang jackets etc) as there is not a lot of space.

Plussat: The location is nice. The rooms are nice looking, if cramped. The breakfast was good. It was very clean.

Miinukset: There is no noise buffering. My room was on the second floor and I could hear every word of conversation in the kitchen area downstairs, even with the door closed. I had a hard time sleeping because someone in the next room was snoring and it was very loud in my room.

Plussat: Great central location, nice welcome during the check-in with some very helpful tips on the hikes and restaurants, comfortable bed/room, delicious breakfast

Miinukset: If you are a light sleeper you might be woken up if sleeping in the downstairs room. As it is an older building you can hear other guests walking up the stairs and in their rooms.

Plussat: The location was perfect, breakfast was delicious, and most importantly, the staff were extremely kind and helpful!

Miinukset: Nothing really.

Plussat: Eco friendly place with comfortable bed close to restaurants and coffee bar. Easy parking. The owner gave us very useful advice for hiking. Nice breakfast and option for lunch box. Stunning surroundings!!!!

Miinukset: Room small and a bit chilly. Could hear noises of our neighbors.

Plussat: The owner was nice with very good tips. She even moved the breakfast for us so we could eat earlier becouse we had a bus. The room was nicly decorated

Miinukset: The room was at the first floor, next to the reception and the common area. It was noisy. When ever people talked it felt like their inside our room. The breakfast was poor.

Plussat: Very friendly and helpfull hosts, delicious breakfast and tea during the day, Hiking Sticks availible, great location

Miinukset: Rooms are a bit small

Plussat: Christina and Guillermo went above and beyond to make my stay as enjoyable as possible given several unforeseen circumstances. The food was delicious and the rooms are spacious with incredible views.

Plussat: Hosteria el Pilar felt like coming home after a long day of hiking! Cristina and Guillermo were the best hosts! The place has a cozy atmosphere with a nice fireplace where you can sit and enjoy your drinks. The room was spacious, clean and had a very large bed, with nice views of FitzRoy. The breakfast and dinner were amazing!!

Miinukset: Everything was perfect!!

Plussat: We loved the hospitality and the location of this charming hotel. We were also very impressed with the delicious meals served on premises. The location was perfect as it allowed us to hike to fitz Roy right from the front door of the hotel. We also loved meeting coca the hotel cat that entertained us during dinner time.

Plussat: Staff is friendly and thoughtful, give you nice tips about the trails, location is beautiful, food is excellent. I enjoyed the amenities in nice reusable flasks, no plastic waste!

Plussat: Heaven on earth even in the rain ! Food was excellent and prices very reasonable. The staff was warm, friendly and very helpful. Located alongside a major trail in Parque Las Glaciares.

Plussat: We greatly enjoyed spending two full days here in the middle of the mountains. The popular day hike to Campamento Poincenot and (if you're ambitious) Laguna de Los Tres starts outside the door, and we could see the famous peaks each morning from our window. Another day we did a different hike that starts about 1 km further down the road. Since it's an isolated spot, we relied on the Hosteria for our meals, which were wonderful. Breakfasts are included, packed lunches are available, and for dinner you can choose from a menu of several delicious items. Our room and the common areas were very pleasant and were great for relaxing after a strenuous day. The proprietors were unfailingly helpful and gave us all the advice we needed on trekking options. If you don't want to rent a car, you can take a bus from El Calafate to El Chalten (we used Lengas) and then continue on route 23 (it becomes a gravel road at that point) by taxi to the Hosteria. Also after your trek to Poincenot, for variety you can hike downhill into the town and then take a taxi back.

Plussat: The location is fantastic and the people are even nicer! We were well taken care of and the view is surreal.

Plussat: The location was great. The breakfast was excellent, and accommodates gluten free diets. Natalia was very friendly and helpful.

Miinukset: We stayed in the bungalow. The kitchen was not adequately equipped for much cooking. A microwave would be much more useful than the tiny oven. There is no comfortable chair to sit in.

Plussat: The stay in the Hosteria Kaulem was great! The staff were very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was amazing, so much variety. The bungalow was very private, comfy and clean.

Plussat: We loved the Kaulem. It is spacious, peaceful and relaxing. With only 4 rooms there is a really nice personal feeling.

Plussat: We were blown away by the kindness and helpfulness of the staff! We also loved how clean the room was. Hands down, this is one of our favorite places we stayed at in our trip to Patagonia.

Plussat: We stayed for 3 nights at this property and couldn’t be happier. The hotel was conveniently located and within walking distance to the main strip of restaurants and bars. The rooms were clean and well appointed and the front desk staff were very friendly and accommodating. Breakfast options were somewhat limited but was delicious and provided daily. They also offer packed lunches if you are planning day hikes.

Miinukset: A few more food options would have been nice.

Plussat: Extremely helpful staff, excellent location & very clean!

Plussat: We loved our stay at Hosteria Kaulem! It was very comfortable and clean, and or room had a view of mount Fitz Roy. There is a really friendly vibe in the small boutique hotel. Breakfast was excellent. Beds were super comfortable

Plussat: Fantastic hotel. My fiance and I had bungalow. It was like a small apartment with separate entrance. Staff was very friendly and breakfast was excellent. When the sky cleared up in the evening, we could see Fitz Roy range

Miinukset: It was bit too hot in the room. There were not many options to get the heating down. The only option was to switch it off or keep it medium, which kept the room very hot. We ha to open the window both nights to be able to sleep.

Plussat: Great hotel with great facilities (swimming pool/SPA).. Beautiful rooms and great breakfast so really one of the best hotel we stayed in Argentina

Miinukset: I believe costs is really high compared to others options and what we have seen in the country

Plussat: The breakfast was delicious! The rooms were also very spacious.

Miinukset: We stayed in two different rooms. Our room on the first night had a pretty unpleasant sewage smell coming from the drain in the bathroom.

Plussat: Rather premium but excellent value for 150-200$, excellent value seems uncommon for el chalten. I would definitely recommend that place (or camping un Poincenot for the full fitzroy experience). I liked the restaurant, the bed, the calm and they have a friendly and professional staff.

Plussat: Great shower! Very powerful!

Miinukset: There is no air conditioning

Plussat: Excellent facility and staff. Restaurant is fair and could be better.

Plussat: The hotel was superb. Very good place for hiking. Great rooms. Excellent service.

Plussat: Close to the hiking trails and restaurants

Plussat: The very clean room was perfect size for the two of us with a very comfortable bed. The service at the check in counter was friendly and each hostess accommodated our limited Spanish-speaking abilities. The breakfast options were appropriate for beginning a long day of hiking. I would definitely stay at El Puma again.

Miinukset: We had about 10 minutes of hot water in a 3 days stay; and that was on our first night.

Plussat: We stayed in the newly opened rooms at the property. We were the first guests there! One of the best accommodations we have ever stayed in. Great interior design and furniture. Felt very much at home there - very clean, huge bed, nice bathroom. The fire place at the main reception was also very cosy to chill at. Surprisingly very good wifi in both the reception and the room! Special mention to Alicia who was very friendly and helpful during our stay

Miinukset: Everything was perfect

Plussat: Staff were very welcoming, helpful and their knowledge of the local area and trails made our holiday. The rooms had been recently refurbished and were very well done as well as being cosy and comfortable. The hotel is perfectly situated in the town to access all of the main trails, as well as the lovely bars and restaurants of the town.

Miinukset: As with most hotels, they could to reduce plastic use with larger bottles of shampoo, shower gels etc.

Plussat: Great rooms, showers, location, staff , breakfast - nothing bad to say!

Miinukset: Nothing bad to say!

Plussat: Super staff, very comfortable bed & good breakfast!

Plussat: The chef was great. Bacon was so good and he helped fix the computer to process our payment.

Miinukset: Walls were a bit thin. I could hear neighbors pretty clearly. It was not an issue as they were quite.

Plussat: -breakfast was ok -clean and hot shower -nice kitchen -really nice staff

Miinukset: -location was ok (it is a small village so basically every stay here has a nice location. But it is 20min walk from bus station)

Plussat: The host who checked us in . Andrea was great . Directions on our hikes and hike descriptions were perfect . Also her weather info was spot on . All the staff were very helpful .

Plussat: Very helpful staff. The apartment was great. Nice size and comfortable. Nice and warm with great heating system. Lunch boxes for hike were perfect.

Miinukset: Breakfast a bit boring. Always the same boiled egg ham and cheese and cereal

Plussat: The staff was very friendly and welcoming. They spoke very good English and told us all of the key details of El Chalten, including great recommendations for food and hiking. The room included a kitchenette

Miinukset: Note that all add ons (lunch boxes, laundry, etc.) must be paid in cash.

Plussat: Rented a cute and well-equipped cabana with full kitchen, the perfect lair to do all the amazing day hikes from. Lovely staff!

Miinukset: The walls are paper thin between the cabanas (don't know about the rooms inside), so I could hear everything my neighbours were doing (everything), and the buzzing of what I assume was the heating system.

Plussat: Location is good. Apartment was comfortable. The manager was nice although it was hard to communicate as she only speaks Spanish.

Miinukset: A problem with the reservation which took some time to resolve due to language difficulty.

Plussat: The apartment was very spacious, with two bathrooms, one downstairs and one upstairs. There is a safe box in bedroom, very convenient for us to store valuables when hiking. Breakfast is not included, however we received delicious cakes very afternoon. We extended our stay from one night to three nights.

Plussat: Location is very convenient Very confortable

Plussat: There was no breakfast served so I can not rate the coffee :)

Plussat: excellent location near everything. greath shower.

Plussat: Great location. Great wifi. Great hostess .. she made apple crumble for us :)

Plussat: Very comfortable master bedroom and bath. Little touches included like shower cap and nice bathtub, daily cleaning.

Miinukset: Some of the furniture was out of date and unusable. Although the description indicated two beds, in fact the 2nd bed is in the kitchen/living room area.

Plussat: Great location, very friendly and helpful staff. Overall a comfortable stay. It will make it even better if there could be more options for the breakfast.

Plussat: Nice place. Great time. Clean property well managed and with great staff in the front desk and breakfast and restaurant.

Miinukset: Minor maintenance and repair while we were there but no issues. Liked it and would return.

Plussat: The staff was very accommodating, responsive and friendly in regards to a late arrival and checking in. The shower had great pressure and was warm. Other than that, this property is overpriced. Might be better off at a hostel

Miinukset: This property is not good if you’re trying to get a good night sleep before trekking. Very comparable to a motel rather than a hotel in the states. My pillow was covered in a dirty looking dark substance when I went to lay down. Luckily, there was another bed in our room and I could easily switch them out.

Plussat: well located - excellent wifi

Plussat: The staff was amazing. Extremely helpful and friendly. The personnel were all very welcoming and incredibly nice. The afternoon tea was also wonderful as was the breakfast.

Miinukset: Unfortunately, one of our rooms had a very unpleasant odor and the other room had a very small window. The wifi was also pretty terrible. I feel badly about not giving this hotel a higher rating, because the staff were so wonderful, but the facilities need some improvement which is the responsibility of management, not staff.

Plussat: The staff were so friendly and couldn't be more helpful. The location is great too for walking out to town for food/drinks and of course walking on the many trails from El Chalten.

Plussat: everything!!!

Miinukset: food

Plussat: A fab hotel in good location. Quiet but easy to walk to town. Catered well for gluten free diet. Staff are so friendly and helpful too. Lots of fresh fruit, scrambled eggs and good orange juice with breakfast.

Plussat: The women at the front desk were so helpful and attentive to us, they really made our stay. Thank you so much!

Plussat: Perfect place to stay in El Chalten. It is near the bus station but you don't hear the buses at all. The staff are so helpful and friendly. The hotel is modern with character and comfortable with a log fire in the afternoon to sit by with afternoon tea and cakes. Absolutely loved it. Would 100% recommend it

Miinukset: Our bathroom radiator didn't work and there was no plug for the bath.

Plussat: Great place to stay in Chalten. Clean, comfortable, nicely designed rooms with super comfortable beds and linen. An oasis in the harsh environment of Patagonia. A great place to recharge your batteries. Good food. Great and friendly staff. Always service with a smile.

Plussat: The staff and space were incredible. We came in late to check in and we were warmly greeted. The front desk staff were very helpful and shared valuable input for hiking Mt Fitz Roy. Location was very close to the bus stop, which was great. The spaces were beautiful and warm. We had a nice dinner in the restaurant as well as tea time the next day. Great time!

Plussat: Hugo and Maria were excellent hosts. The accommodation was very close to most of the treks we wanted to do and very close to all amenities. Would highly recommend.

Plussat: Very friendly helpful and calm Argentinian ambiance, loved the fruit salad and banana bread for breakfast.

Miinukset: Some plain yoghurt and muesli / nuts at breakfast would be nice.

Plussat: the room was pleasantly seized, the breakfast room could be used during daytime to sit and work

Miinukset: the internet was lousy (this is not the fault from the hotel) but the satellite uplink capacity.

Plussat: Friendly staff

Miinukset: Credit cards not accepted

Miinukset: Breakfast could start earlier. It starts at 7h30.

Plussat: Very quiet and atmosphere like as farmhouse. Fresh yummy breakfast. There is a excellent kitchen. I had memorable dinner there. I made Patagonia's steak. It was good. Supermarket near hosteria have meat, lots of fruit and everything. Someday I want to stay again.

Plussat: Good price

Miinukset: The bed wasn’t really comfortable

Plussat: locker was big enough to hold my 70l bag. decent kitchen area.

Miinukset: the reception area is nice but the dorm room was worn out with old bed. small room. wifi did not work in the room (works well only around the reception area)

Plussat: Clean Warm Helpful front desk staff

Miinukset: Breakfast a bit limited No much choice of tea No yogurt

Plussat: Friendly, attentive staff. Quick laundry service. We had a lovely evening meal at Fuegia next door, where breakfast is served each morning.

Miinukset: Can get a little noisy at night with people entering and exiting their rooms.

Plussat: Beautiful clean room with comfy bed. The hostel is beautiful and breakfast delicious. Only downside for me was the heating is blasting 24/7 and I couldn't turn it off (I asked!). My room was boiling and I had all windows open - bit of a waste! But the staff is lovely and very helpful. Location is right in the main street. Highly recommend!

Plussat: Location close to restaurants and trailheads Very clean Multiple common areas to hang out and eat Staff are friendly but not hugely proactive / helpful when it comes to booking things etc

Miinukset: WiFi is beyond slow (apparently normal in el chalten) Mattresses old and hence sunk in Need to do own bedding Bar across the street plays loud music until midnight

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Location was very pretty

Miinukset: Lights out at 12; no internet in bedroom; breakfast so-so

Plussat: 5 stars estancia !! Everything was perfect... the quiet, the room, the landscapes... the staff is really helpful !!

Plussat: The location and the staff was helpful. It was a pleasant surprise to find such an establishment in el chalten

Miinukset: Wifi was unstable

Plussat: Nice hotel, lunch box available, clean, quiet, nice breakfast.

Miinukset: No confortable chairs in the room but the rest was perfect

Plussat: Great breakfast buffet. Comfortable stylish rooms. Helpful staff. Stored luggage for us to go hiking.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: The hotel hasn't been reopened yet for summer season. We were offered to stay at Destino Sur, higher level hotel of the same group (at the same price!). Then, my very good iopinion is related to that hotel. But if you stay at Hotel Poincenot, please consider to have dinner at Destino Sur restaurant: it's very, very good! A modern interpretation of fantastic Argentine cooking.

Miinukset: Nothing

Miinukset: Got awake very early because the hotel girls made the other rooms very loudly

Plussat: Location was ideal and hotel was very clean.

Miinukset: Breakfast was really basic, no water or coffee making facilities in the room and for what we paid per night you would expect this as a minimum requirement.

Plussat: Maria Belen who works the front desk was very helpful and friendly. My sister and I visited several hotels in South America over a period of three weeks and thought Maria provided the best advice and was the most welcoming out of all of the hotel staff we met on our trip.

Plussat: Homely, very clean, comfortable, efficient service, great breakfasts, friendly and helpful staff, perfect base for trekking, we were very well looked after here.

Plussat: The staff eas really helpfull and kind. Good breakfast.

Plussat: Everything was fine :)

Miinukset: Breakfast could be with a bigger choice

Plussat: Great location with all restaurants and bars right outside on the main strip. Nice breakfast and comfy rooms. Great hot water.

Miinukset: The water pump in the ceiling kept coming on at night which was annoying if you’re a light sleeper. Wifi is slow but that’s most of town.

Plussat: Front of house staff were very knowledgeable and nothing too much trouble, otherwise the hotel was very average.

Miinukset: After my 22km hike I wanted to run a hot bath. But the hotel has no bath plugs and informed me to take a shower grr.

Plussat: Great location. The staff was warm, friendly and helpful. The hotel offered a packed lunch so that you can hit the trail early in the morning. There is an onsite restaurant so if you are tired after a day of hiking you don't have to go to far for food. Breakfast was generous and there were lots of vegetarian options.

Miinukset: No wi-fi in the room. You need to go to the lobby which is'nt too bad because they do have a good bar and seating.

Plussat: - Location

Miinukset: - WiFi only in Lobby not in room - WiFi very very slow - Room a little dusty and extremely warm, no AC

Miinukset: Would have been great if interconnecting rooms were available for families

Miinukset: The WI-FI connection is not so good.
