"This place was amazing!! The views from the apartment are unbeatable, the breakfast is brought to your room the night before, with a lot of options including eggs for you to cook if you want to. Would definitely recommend it and will stay here again if we ever go back to El Chalten"

Best breakfast and a modern, comfortable stay! Walking distance to trailheads, restaurants, and bus terminal. Big comfy bed after a long day of hiking and the most amazing breakfast to kick off our hikes. A luxury stay while we were in Patagonia and well worth it.

This is an amazing experience. A luxury hut on the edge of a glacier. It is about 40 minute drive from El Chalten and then it took me 2hrs 20 minutes to walk to the hut. The only way to get to the hut is by foot. The accommodation and food is great, the views amazing. It is warm and clean. Rooms are all bunk beds I believe. I loved it and stayed 2 nights. No actual trails from the hut to go walking from yet though they plan to create some in the future. But I spent a day just relaxing, staring...

Alejandra’s place is amazing. She makes a wonderful breakfast and is attentive to any question or need you have. The rooms are simple, but safe, clean and comfortable. The place is not quite on the main strip, but about a 10 minute walk from the bus station and the main shops and restaurants/bars. She’s a lively woman that will do anything for you. Highly recommended. Laundry service also offered. 5 min walk to Laguna Torres trailhead.

The Patagonia EcoDomes were at a great location. There was private access to trails and a beautiful view of Mount Fitzroy in the morning. When we arrived, we dropped our bags at the offices near the bus station, and we chose to hike to Mount Fitzroy and then the hotel. The EcoDomes were beautifully decorated, comfortable, and had hot showers. The staff were friendly and helpful. Finally, the dinner was delicious, that night offering pumpkin soup, steak and flan. We were only there for 24 hours,...

We had a car so it was easy to drive to trailhead and restaurants. A very tasteful decorated hotel. The room was nice and spacious. Good breakfast choices. It's definitely worth the money.

Stayed in a third floor room with view of the mountains (Fitz Roy, Poincenot, St Exupery, Cerro Torre, etc). Staff very helpful and friendly. Bar drinks and snacks were excellent and dinner there was fine. Buffet breakfast was included and very good.
