El Chaltén hotels

Pros: Super friendly and helpful hosts, large rooms, very clean, comfortable and modern

Pros: George and claudia were really welcoming and helpful in every way. They really put an effort in everything they did and made our stay very enjoyable. The bed is very big and the rooms were very clean. I can really recommend this place ! Thanks again, Ann-Sophie and Miguel

Pros: Staff, room, location, everything! They gave us tips, which made our hiking to Fitz Roy achievable. We wanted early breakfasts and coffee for 6am - no issues. Well done!

Cons: N/A

Pros: Great place to stay in El Chalten, small town so everything is near. Owner was very helpful with advice etc. Definitely recommend this place

Pros: A far superior place to anything else of this price in the area: stylish, super comfortable and high quality decor and bedding. It was such a treat to stay here.

Cons: Nothing!

Pros: very cozy room, big bathroom, hot water, stable wi fi, nice personnel, good breakfast, convenient location

Pros: Pretty rooms with everything you need, spacious bathroom, good breakfast

Cons: Nothing!

Pros: 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.

Pros: 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!!

Cons: Everything was perfect!!

Pros: 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.

Pros: 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!

Pros: 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.

Pros: 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.

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

Pros: Very comfortable and the hostess is very helpful and well traveled. Town has a nice relaxed atmosphere too. Augustina’s restaurant advice was spot on - even beyond those in El Chalten!

Cons: N/A

Pros: Very homely and lovely owners. Breaky was cooked! Good location

Cons: Room was very small...

Pros: We loved how Lina treated us, helped with insider tips. Her attention is great and her home made breakfast, amazing. She was very flexible and super helpful and warm. She really cares about her guests and keeping it simple and special with details. Thanks again, Ann-Sophie and Miguel

Pros: 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.

Cons: 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.

Pros: The breakfast is individually, no mass products, but rather homemade. The description of the way to the path "Laguna Torres" was easy and effectual: "go right > stairs > mountain". And that's was it was: easy to find. Thanks a lot!

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

Cons: 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.

Pros: 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!!!!

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

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

Cons: Rooms are a bit small

Pros: Breakfast was good. The restaurant was a pleasant place to relax in the evening. Nice view of FitzRoy. Well located. Staff was very helpful. One even found a place in town where we were able to watch a US football playoff game on a big screen, a service that was much appreciated.

Cons: It is a bit of a walk to the bus station. No elevator to second floor rooms could be an issue for some guests. But really nothing to complain about.

Pros: Such a warm and well decorated place located right at the base of the sendero Laguna Torre. Always welcoming, nice decor, rooms and linens are top quality and it was a great place to relax after hikes and watch as others came down from the mountains. We thoroughly enjoyed the hospitality, great boxed lunch and the design of the hotel is beautiful. They have a cafe and games to play in case the weather is not cooperative. Great stay.

Cons: It was great all around.

Pros: 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.

Pros: 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.

Pros: 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.

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

Pros: 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

Pros: It’s a small hotel with lots of charm. It’s close to the centre of town and also to the beginning of one of the best area hikes.

Pros: Anita was incredibly accommodating. The room was spotless. It had an extremely comfortable bed and a bathtub, both of which were very appreciated after the treks! Hope to return one day

Pros: Lovely place, well located, clean, comfy bed, nice host.

Pros: Anita was very helpful and welcoming host. The house was comfortable and clean and well located to nearby shops and cafes. It’s a cute lodge style house and facilities were good for self catering and a long stay.

Cons: We stayed in the house that sleeps 4-6 but there is only one bedroom (with a door) which opens onto the other bedroom (so not a lot of privacy for a big group) and one bathroom to share, so might suit families more.

Pros: It was super cozy, amazingly well located and the host’s positive and proactive attitude made for an amazing experience! The area is super safe for kids and there is a artisanal alfajor shop just behind which has one of the best alfajores we had in the whole of Argentina. Thanks Anita!

Pros: Anita's house is perfectly located in the center of town, within easy walking distance of groceries, restaurants and trail heads. The facilities are very good. And, to top it off, Anita and Leo are two of the best hosts that I've ever met while traveling.

Pros: Sweet little house. Family atmosphere. Thanks to Anita that we don’t need to visit info center to finish all our trekking. Kitchen facilities are complete for preparing a fast hot meal.

Cons: Maybe add more racks in the bathroom for hanging towels and clothes.

Pros: Staff was very helpful and friendly. Breakfast was very substantial. Location was great. B and B was cozy. Room had a great view.

Cons: Room number 1 is right next to reception and so was noisy almost all the time, when people came down for breakfast at 6:15am, when people were in the breakfast area for tea between 4 and 7pm and when people came in late in the evening.

Pros: We loved this place! An excellent view of Fitz Roy and great location. Very friendly staff who helped us plan our day, look at the weather, find good places to eat and call a taxi.

Pros: Walking distance to everything and nice private rooms!

Pros: We stayed in a private room with shared bathroom and both were extremely clean all the time! Breakfast was simple but there were enough options of what to eat and everything was good and tasty. Staff was kind and helpful. The place is cute and very well located.

Pros: El Chalten is beautiful. This place is clean with a very helpful staff. We had a great time!

Pros: Clean, relatively new, good windows and construction.

Cons: We had two rooms. First one bed was very small for a couple (room 6). Second (room 9) was better. Showers are very tight boxes (I’m 6’3”).

Pros: Location and comfort.

Cons: Bed and pillows weren’t as comfortable as I would have liked for the price we paid. The WiFi was very slow. And the restaurant had a limited menu that additionally was out of menu items.

Pros: It is actually a nice hotel, but service and attention to client could improve. At the day of arrival we did not have any water in the the bathroom until 10pm. We were told several times and the whole day that it was because of the temporary power shortage and that we should be patient and use the toilet in the lobby. In the evening I had then to learn from other guests that they did not have any issues the whole day, means it was a problem of our room only. I had then to insist quite seriously until somebody came up to the room and fixed the problem ..in one minute..! Being in a remote location I can accept issues but not that the staff lies at me and is too lazy to fix a problem.

Pros: This is a beautiful hotel in El Chalten. A great location to rest and relax from days of hiking.

Pros: Excellent personnel at reception. One of the best I have seen. Rooms very nice and clean. Excellent beds.

Cons: Hot tub was not warm enough and we requested sandwiches for take out and they were good but extremely small

Pros: Everything about this hotel is great. The staff is wonderful.

Pros: Nice rooms, clean, good breakfast

Cons: Gym only opens in the afternoon

Pros: 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.

Pros: everything!!!

Cons: food

Pros: 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.

Pros: Location and staff. Natalia is awesome. She has a lot of knowledge and information about the trails. She provided detailed hiking instructionx, extremely valuable. She told us about the shared shuttle service to El Calafate. She is a joy to talk to. Location is across from bus station. Breakfast has a nice spread. I will.choose this place again if i have another chance to visit El Chalten

Cons: We were on the ist floor and can hear footsteps from the room upstairs. However, we only stayed for 1 night and we were so tired that we were still able to get a good night sleep..

Pros: the hotel was very clean and chic. the staff was super helpful and friendly.

Cons: the internet connection was poor.

Pros: Very comfortable hotel and great ambiance!

Pros: Breakfast was exceptional and the staff were lovely, we used the laundry service and that was really good also. Pay in American $$ for a decent discount we turned up without cash so had to pay full price

Cons: Wi-Fi didn't stretch to room so we had to spend a long period booking things outside the room. No big deal.

Pros: Nice rooms, good breakfast

Pros: Clean room, good size, comfy bed

Cons: I asked for a cup of tea one day after hiking as I had a heavy cold to come to checkout and realise I had been charged for it. Just a cup of tea but still when you are paying £150 a night you would think you could have a tea included in your stay surely!? Even a hostel would offer a free tea... Hot water ran out in the shower. Last thing I expected or wanted after a long day out hiking (also for paying £150 a night...disappointing) Other people raved about the breakfast, it was good but very much an average breakfast for Argentina. Options for eggs and then other normal things like toast, 1 type of cereal. Don’t get too excited. Overall good stay but those things bugged me!

Pros: The staff were incredibly helpful and went out of their way to make our stay really comfortable. The rooms were spacious and the cleanliness was also very good.

Pros: Close to the hiking trails and restaurants

Pros: 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.

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

Pros: 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

Cons: Everything was perfect

Pros: Loved the bed, breakfast very nice, good mountain views, free candy on the room

Cons: Really bad wi-fi. Wanted to take a bath but hot water finished before I had hardly started filling it up, so had to take a cold shower instead.

Pros: Liked the location, the vibe, cleanliness, staff, breakfast was hot and delicious.

Cons: Little noisy, with windows open

Pros: Fantastic team, supportive throughout. Spacious room and breakfast with best bacon&egg for a long time

Cons: Do not remember anything in particular. No A/C, but not necessary in Southern Patagonia anyway

Pros: Beautiful rooms and space, good breakfast, central, great staff, nice attention to detail

Cons: na

Pros: Very clean and well maimtained. Towels and linens are very clean. Comfortable bed. Spacious room. Better than I expected. It seems that the walls are very thin., but no noise problem at all. Very quiet and could rest well.

Cons: None.Everything was good.

Pros: Friendly staff

Cons: Credit cards not accepted

Pros: Stuff was very welcoming and gave us detailed explanation and the day we left prepared us earlier breakfast. Great location, super close to the hiking trails. Comfortable bed

Pros: Really comfortable bed and great shower. The hosts were brilliant, we arrived early and the offered us a complimentary breakfast and let us check into the room as soon as it was ready. They were also really helpful with hiking advice

Pros: Maria and Li where so very helpful and nice! We strongly recommend this hosteria!

Pros: Very good location, near good restaurants and Fitz Roy trail.

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

Pros: Very friendly staff. Great laundry service. Very good located close to the main hiking path and also close to all restaurants and bars. Nice bed and bathroom.

Pros: The staff was really amazing! Very helpful, very attentive, friendly! Good rooms with comfortable beds!!

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

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

Pros: Location (except for the noise when I had to sleep with the balcony door open because of the heat); rooms are comfortable (except that there is an issue with the heat); most staff is nice and friendly (except Miriam at the restaurant). Good boxed lunch for the hikes.

Cons: My room was EXTREMELY hot for three days in a row, and they were not able to fix it during my stay. I had to sleep with the balcony door open, which meant having a bright street light shining on my face all night and a lot of street noise, including drunk people shouting on the street at 2 AM. The last morning I was going to be picked up at 7 AM, so I went to the breakfast room at 6:20. The breakfast spread was ready, but I was not allowed to even touch the coffee until 6:30, after three sleepless nights in a row. Two out of the three staff at the restaurant were very nice, but they only got there after 6:30, so I was at the mercy of Miriam, who acted as if she was the police guarding the coffee before 6:30. The staff at the front desk was friendly in general, but the woman in the morning to whom I reported the heat issue said that all she could do is pass on the message...this was obviously not enough. It is a pity, because the place has potential, but if you cannot sleep because the room is like a sauna, and cannot have coffee when you need it, I don’t think I can recommend it.

Pros: Clean, modern, helpful staff, great location

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Location is perfect. Walking distance to everything you need. Easy walk to the start of the trails. Many bars and restaurants close by. The breakfast was very good. Big rooms

Cons: Nothing

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

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

Pros: 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.

Pros: Location is very convenient Very confortable

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

Pros: excellent location near everything. greath shower.

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

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

Cons: 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.

Pros: Good breakfast supplied, water and coffee available all day. Good place next door for craft beers and amazing burgers.

Pros: The hotel is well located at the villa, near the beginning of two of the main trails for hiking. The staff is very helpful and friendly. Breakfast was good, better than average in Patagonia. There is coffee, tea and flavored water for free at the reception all time. The rooms are spacious, comfortable and very clean.

Pros: Everything was perfect, helpful staff, especially Fátima, she helped us arrange a transfer to go hiking, as well as lend us some hiking poles.

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

Cons: Wifi was unstable

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

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

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

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Location was ideal and hotel was very clean.

Cons: 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.

Pros: 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.

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

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

Pros: Great Staff, always ready to help. Very good location.

Cons: N/a

Pros: Good beds

Cons: Breakfast okay, but had better un cheaper places

Pros: Everything was fine :)

Cons: Breakfast could be with a bigger choice

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

Cons: 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.

Pros: Great food, staff, incredible setup and location. Worth every penny.

Pros: The eco domes are amazing, didn't want to leave!! My partner and I stayed here for two nights as a special treat after staying in budget hotels and campsites. We had a hire car so the remote location down a dirt track was not an issue for us though I believe they do offer a shuttle bus service. The domes are beautiful, the beds are so comfortable, and the rooms full of character. The mountain views from the domes are stunning, just like you expect from the photos. A member of staff would come round and light the log fires late afternoon so you could come back to a warm room. The lobby and dining room domes are also lovely and comfortable. We ate at the restaurant both nights as we couldn't resist - the food is of the highest quality, cooked excellently, and is good value. I think it was $25 per person for a 3 course meal including a tea or coffee. The sirloin steak we had the first night was divine. Breakfast is also excellent. Staff speak fluent English, and very friendly and couldn't do enough to help. There is no wifi or phone signal here and so we spent our evenings talking to other guests, eating wonderful food and reading by our log fire in our lovely dome. 10/10 cannot recommend enough!

Cons: The bathroom was cold but that's all part of the domes being heated by log fire only

Pros: The domes are nice and cosy when the fire is lit. The staff was very kind and helpful. It was a wonderful experience for us sleeping in a dome for the first time.

Cons: Well, as said in other references before, it is definitely a nice experience sleeping in the domes, but all in all I think not worth the price asked for. Dinner is good and served well, but nothing that special. The lunch pack was sufficient in quantity but kind of made without much dedication, the sandwiches dry and made without any creativity. If it's cold outside be prepared to get up two to three times in the night to keep the fire burning, wasn't that romantic as I expected.

Pros: It is a unique experience - sleeping under the sky, Fitz roy and crazy patagonian winds. Rabbits and kittens making this place a wonderland. Desing is just like you imagined it when you were a little kid in a wonder forest. Reception staff are amazing and very helpful guys, thank you!

Cons: The price i too high because you have a poor breakfast, expensive launch boxex. Nights are freezy - the fire stop while younare already aspleep, no wife or internet available.

Pros: Pretty much everything! Breathtaking view of the Fitz Roy and the surrounding landscape, cozy and clean room, comfy bed, an actual wood fire place in the room that either the staff or you could start a fire every night (they provided the firewood), delicious food. Such an awesome and unique experience, wish we could have stayed for a week! If you love to camp but also like being comfortable, the domes are perfect. You have the feeling of being in nature but are completely protected from the elements. Flora, Violetta, and Santiago were so kind and awesome! The eco domes are very remote. There isn’t cell service or WiFi here—which wasn’t important to us, you can go into El Chalten to find WiFi at any restaurant. You also do need some kind of transportation to and from the eco domes but there is a free shuttle that can be arranged by the staff at certain times and we had a fairly easy time getting a taxi in El Chalten to take us back to the eco domes. There is also a shorter trail to get to Laguna de Los Tres right on the property—makes the hike a little bit shorter and easier than starting all the way in El Chalten. I don’t have one bad thing to say about this place, it was one of the highlights of our trip!

Cons: Nothing we didn’t like!

Pros: - The view is nice - The food served during the dinner is nice and well cooked

Cons: - The wind is so strong, it feels like the tent might just brake and fly off any time, especially because they need some proper renovation and air comes through the many holes - The noise of the wind against the tent makes it impossible to sleep, as a result we spent two sleepless nights. Unless you are prepared to come with earplugs etc etc, just don’t come sleep here. - The room gets cold, and you have to get up every hour (yes during the night !!!) to add wood in the tiny fireplace. The fireplace is not big enough to warm up the room as a result it’s just a pain - Found a scorpion on the tend. Yes a scorpion. Plus many spiders - While the view is nice, everything else is very basic. All in all we were left disappointed and left one day earlier than expected. For USD 350 a night, a better manteinance of the tent is expected as well as some accessories in case people don’t come prepared (earplugs, small electric heaters in the room etc). The price is extremely expensive for what you get. If you are looking for a Glamping type of experience looks elsewhere.

Pros: The location and the cosy domes with the wood burning stoves was superb. Best of all was the yummy gluten free pack up for lunch while out walking to Laguna tres lagos from the dome! Breakfast and dinner was also exceptional. Catering well for gluten free diets in such a remote location is impressive.
