Hotel Kosten Aike

Hotel is very central and we walked around town everywhere. Staff were super friendly and helpful. I would definitely recommend booking a massage it was delightful. Got rid of my knots and would have gotten another massage but we didnt book in advance so we werent able to. Spa area was unexpected little gem. Jacuzzi and a sauna. The only down side to the hotel was the water pressure wasn't great. Makes a lot of strange noises as well. But this doesn't take away from the rest of the positives from the hotel.

This IS the place to stay in El Calafate. The TripAdvisor recommendations were right. Very friendly, helpful staff. Spotlessly clean and well decorated hotel. We had room 307 and the room was spacious, comfortable and more than we needed. Comfy beds and pillows, and on the same floor as the Spa. Daily free breakfast was an added bonus, as the offerings were wonderful, helping us hit the trail fully satisfied. Highly recommend this hotel. Enzo and Aylen at the front desk were particularly helpful. Easy walking distance to anything in Calafate including restaurants, the nature preserve and other activities. We particularly enjoyed the grounds which are well kept and colorful. Benches allow you to enjoy it. The lounge and activity room are also a great bonus, and we often had coffee/tea in the lounge, perhaps playing some billiards in the afternoon. One suggestion: The Spa did not open until 5pm each day, when we prefer to work out in the morning. Plus, there is a great balcony in the spa that overlooks the city, but it is not available until after 5pm. We would respectfully suggestion broadening the hours since after a long day of hiking, many do not want to work out.

This is a full service, high standards hotel. The restaurant and bar serve fine dining and delicious cocktails, It is full of character in a good way, log construction details and roomy sitting areas and games room with comfortable seating. I felt so pampered. It is located centrally in town, a block or two away from the noisy commercial main avenue. This is a historical hotel with up to date comfort. Priced well below of what it is worth. Highly recommended.
