Had a wonderful stay in Madre Tierra Patagonia. The staff was amazing, very kind and attentive, and helped me with suggestions and advice. After every day tour I took from El Calafate, it was lovely to rest here, breakfast is very good too! My room was cosy and very well equipped and spotless clean, I am overall very satisfied and would have loved to stay for a longer period!

The facility was new and spotlessly clean. Our room was spacious and comfortable with plenty of outlets, closet space, a large bathroom with an excellent hot shower. The window opening enabled a nice breeze. The breakfast offered lots of options, especially baked goods, juices, and coffee. The bar, lobby and lounge areas were comfortable for sitting. The hotel staff were both welcoming and accommodating with all our requests including storage over two nights between stays while we made a three day trip to El Chaten. We highly recommend this hotel, which is just a ten minute walk to the bus terminal.

Very nice hotel located on the top of a hill above El Calafate. We had our own car but the hotel offers shuttle service in the afternoon and evening into "downtown". Staff was very nice and helpful. They even let us change our rooms to a more silent part of the hotel when we did not have a good night sleep in the first rooms. Hotel has a nice and large lap pool, pretty warm and another smaller pool as well as a nice gym area with a view. Breakfast choice was plenty, buffet style.

FAQs about hotels in El Calafate

Patagonia's Glacier Paradise

El Calafate is a small city in Argentinean Patagonia, situated in the foothills of the Andes and on the shores of Argentino Lake. Blending colourful wooden houses and Alpine-influenced architecture, it is the gateway to the Glaciers National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Booking.com offers a wide range of accommodation in El Calafate and surroundings, from 5-star hotels to cheap hostels.

The area was originally inhabited by the ‘Aonikenk’ people, while the modern settlement grew at the beginning of the 20th century as a refuge along the wool trade route, taking its name from the native blueberry bush known as ‘Calafate’. The town was founded by the Argentinean government in 1927 to promote the colonisation of the area, but its development started only after the creation of the National Park, in 1937.

The famous Perito Moreno Glacier is 80 km from the city. Mount Fitz Roy, the small town of El Chaltén, the romantic Onelli Bay, Lago del Desierto, and Roca Lake are some of the impressive landmarks that make up Argentina‘s 2nd-largest natural reservation. If you want to experience Patagonia’s languid vastness and tranquillity, try some of El Calafate’s rural accommodation or ‘estancias’.

    I did 2 glacier tours, and one day took the bus to el chalten. The town itself is very charming, and one early morning when I was looking for a pharmacy, I had an escort of 4-8 local stray (and very friendly) dogs.

    We stayed two nights in El Calafate, visited Mereno Glacier national park for a day, another day, relaxed in the city. we really enjoyed walking along the Argentina river walkway, also visited nature conservancy, there are so many waterfowls in the lake (river), first time saw black neck swan, I wished I brought binocular with me to enjoy the bird watching. It supposes to have Grebe's and Flamingos, dozens of species. the first week of April, all the tall trees leave in the city are changing to golden yellow Fall color, with Spanish style houses, it is really a pretty and warm town. with delicious food and drinks. Really enjoyed

    Loved the All glaciers boat trip - well organized with plenty of time to enjoy the ride and the views. We went with SoloPatagonia and found it perfect for us. It takes all day, but we had time to drive to Perito Moreno Glacier and enjoy a shot visit before the closed. We found El Calafate has great restaurant options, ice cream shops and shopping. Another day, we drove to Chalten and completed one of the hikes looking at Fitz Roy mountain... loved the town of Chalten, the vibe, restaurants and nature. We would like to come back and stay there at least one night to complete more hikes.

    This is a great little town which has some eccentiricies - there's no zoning so you have car repair and other businesses in the middle of single family neighborhoods, and LOTS of dogs roaming around and (especially in the middle of the night) loudly. barking at each other whether singly or in packs. Weird. Outside that, lots of restaurants on the main drag, LOTS of small lodging opportunities scattered among residential housing - tourist-friently, relatively safe. English (at least fluent) is less common here, but manageable for English-native speakers willing to work at it.

    This is No-Go hotel. Location is not bad, but this is not an issue since El Calafate is a single street village. Staff was extraordinary bad, not cooperative at all, wi-fi very poor in the lobby, in the room does not exist. Rooms are in the basement, not at the ground floor, they refused to give us lunch box (we checked out for an early flight) for the breakfast we paid for. The brakfast was very, very limited. Rooms are old, safety deposit bix not working. Very low valuw for money.

    Amazing friendly hotel, feels like staying with your favourite family in El Calafate. Lovely gardens and boutique type interior on edge of town near lake. Great staff team who were willing to engage and discuss what we were doing and delivered beyond our expectations. We stayed in the two bedroom bungalow at the back of the property, which was delightful with good facilities inside and a couple of chairs on outside veranda to enjoy the sunshine.
