It’s not far to downtown, but need to walk through a roundabout (no walk way), have to be careful. Always be waken up in early morning by noise in the hallway or neighbors. Service is very good. Generally fine.

The lady owner is very kind. Besides the great breakfast and other services, we stayed on the Xmas day, she invited us and some other guests to celebrate the Xmas eve with her family and staff. There were food, wine, snacks, etc. One guest was a musician so we had music as well! I don't speak Spanish but felt completely at home. She treats her guests as family members. It was an unforgettable, unique experience for us. Highly recommend.

Fantastic stay at Hosteria Rukahue. A clean, comfortable and very friendly place run by hosts who cannot do enough for their guests. It's about 15 minutes to walk to the main street (and uphill on the way back). Would definitely recommend this place.

This is a very warm, family run establishment on the outskirts of town. It takes basically 10 minutes to walk to the center of Calafate. At first I saw that as something of a demerit but over time I came to enjoy its peripheral position outside of the hubbub of the tourist center. The foyer of the hotel has a great upstairs area for reading and writing. I had a lot of writing to catch up on so I used basically an entire day at one of their tables upstairs. They are very good at arranging anything you could want in terms of shuttles or expeditions. I spent four nights there and recommend it.

Adriana is the best host. This is a true home where Adriana and her family lives. As soon as you enter, you feel coming into someone's home and you are welcomed in a warm and genuine manner. It was lovely to stay in this hosteria which is super clean and truly authentic, which is rare to come by. Downtown is short 5-10 min walk and the view from the hosteria is beautiful on the lake and surroundings. Every morning, home made breakfast is served to you by the host herself. I highly recommend staying here if in el Calafate.

Very attractive, very friendly, walk to Calafate
Our GPS took us right to this very attractive bed and breakfast. The place was built by the family that runs it, it is spotless, beautifully decorated, and the family is extremely friendly and accommodating. Although it seems a little farther than it ultimately is, we walked into Calafate Center Avenue and contemplated many restaurants before choosing one that we want. We enjoyed our wine, so took a cab home which was very affordable. The only very slight negative is that shower curtain is a little bit funky and one needs to take care not to break the fixture. Otherwise, everything was great. We would definitely go back!

We stayed two nights at the hosteria and it was wonderful. The owners are very friendly kind and helpful. The house and the garden are very nice, only the rooms are small. But you have many space to sit outside your room with wonderful views over El Calafate and the lake. We can recommend it to everybody and would come back every time.

Charming, good views, hard to find
It is actually a short walk from bus station, but we had difficulties to find it, as addresses are not logical. A little too far away from city center by walking, however, taxis in Argentina are very inexpensive. Nice and very friendly staff. Small but very clean rooms. Nice dining room and first floor with lovely views over village and lake. Breakfast with lots of nice cakes but not too much else.
