Excellent base for exploring Calafate region, but a little outside main town, so reliant on 10 min trip by shuttle (pick ups twice a day in or out of town), or 45 min walk to centre along lake. Hotel was wonderful - really friendly, responsive staff, great facilities and restaurant, clean, well designed rooms, good pool, great views over lake.

Amazing views are worth the 10 min drive away from town. The hotel is clean and staff is attentive. The pool is perfectly heated! HUGE bathrooms!!! Loved my stay! Lots of doggies around the property to love on. Only issue was the food. Horrible!!! If they can fix the food id give them 5 stars. Our steak was tough as rocks, the breakfast isnt even worth it. Stale bread.

Design Sites at Calafate was exactly what we were looking for to kickstart our winter time in Patagonia: cozy, very clean, inviting, easy access, and well located with amazing views of the lake and mountains. Highly recommended!

Over priced. Air conditioning did not work. Front desk denied it was not working. After 3 trips to front desk a portable unit was provided. Restaurant staff was not helpful, food was adequate, but uninspired. Room had hot pot, but no coffee, tea or cups were provided. .

2/10

The hotel is in desperate need of a full renovation. I would say is a 2 stars hotel, definitely not 4. The walls are thinner than paper. You can hear everything that’s happening in the room next, above and under you. It was almost impossible to rest with so many kids running in the hallways, yelling and screaming and the parents or the hotel staff wouldn’t do nothing about it. The price per room VS what you get is totally a ripoff. The breakfast buffet was very poor. I wouldn’t stay here again.
