The customer service from the staff especially from Mauricio was a highlight in our stay in El Chalten. I didn’t like the fact that rooms for 3 have no privacy.

Ok but I won’t be going there again and don’t recommend.

The hosts were very welcoming, eager to help and a great source for local information. The breakfast was average. The mountains around El Chalten are stunning. The town and many businesses don't appear to care about appearances. The national park fee is usurious.

Front desk was nice experience, Maurizio made this place bearable. As far as amenities, we were given portable electric heater which helped, else the gas heating smelled gas and wasn’t on, we had to call Maurizio to turn it on (later we turned it off due to its smell)

The staff at the desk was friendly and willing to help, but the hotel had some weird management practices. For example, there is a kitchen that travelers are not allowed to use. The hotel collects a deposit of $50 in cash for "possible damage." The water faucets in the shower almost fall off from the wall, etc.

Don't stay there! I had to cancel last minute and the owner literally ghosted me as soon as I tried to get in touch about cancellation fees. Even hotels.com were never able to speak to them. Considering how bad the reviews about this place are on every website, I would avoid booking there if I were you.

Very basic! We were given the “tiny house” which had a very small flimsy padlock for the door when you go out but no way to lock the door while inside. The padlock was not even suitable for a suitcase. The whole “tiny house” smelt like sewer. No curtains on bathroom window. The receptionist was pleasant however.

This hotel has very weird policy and management. The stuff tries to give you a lot of information but…they inform you that you must leave a deposit of $50, €50, or another currency in case you cause any damage—for example, if something breaks or if you stain a towel with blood or makeup. When we checked out, they accused us of breaking the front door handle, which was already in bad shape and required a lot of effort to close properly. So they kept our money to replace the lock, which I highly doubt costs even $50. They didn’t even let us speak and treated us very rudely. I wonder if there are others that had the same experience

Es ist alles etwas in die Jahre gekommen. In den Zimmern fehlen Ablagemöglichkeiten. Es gibt nur dass Bett und einen Stuhl. Auch im Bad fehlen Haken oder andere Möglichkeiten, seine Sachen abzulegen. Die Heizung funktionierte nicht und es war wirklich kalt im Zimmer. Auf Nachfrage gab es einen winzigen Heizlüfter, der nichts bewirkte. Erst am zweiten Tag gab es nach erneuter Nachfrage von einem anderen Mitarbeiter einen richtigen, größeren Heizlüfter, mit dem das Zimmer dann richtig warm wurde. Das Personal ist nett und hilft bei der Empfehlung und Planung von Wanderungen. Auch das Frühstück ist sehr gut.

A localização é boa, perto de restaurantes, mercados e da avenida central. A limpeza estava bem feita. A equipe é muito atenciosa e prestativa, sempre buscando ajudar os hóspedes. Porém, o café da manhã é o mesmo todos os dias, sem nenhuma variedade (pão, manteiga, café e chá, geléia, ovos e um bolinho). Além disso, os quartos não possuem TV e cabideiros para ajudar na organização (apenas um armário que pode não ser suficiente se você pretende ficar mais de 2 noites, como foi meu caso). Por sorte, ficamos no quarto que tem vista para as montanhas, foi a grande boa surpresa. Recomendo se você está em busca de local limpo e bem localizado.

Hotel un peu excentré et calme, pas loin de l'entrée pour aller au Fitz Roy. Personnel sympas. Petit déj bien. Jolie chambre. Mais reste cependant un peu cher.

Boa localização! Funcionários muito gentis e prestativos. O quarto que ficamos era bem grande. Porém ficou a desejar em alguns pontos. Estava escurecendo as 11 da noite e a janela tinha apenas uma cortina sem black out. os travesseiros eram muito baixos. Falta uma bancada pra colocar as malas. Café da manhã simples mas tinha ovo mexido, ponto positivo

El empleado de recepción se llama Maurice. Es muy amable y educado. El personal femenino del restaurante de desayuno siempre te saluda con una sonrisa y hace lo mejor que puede. El desayuno también se sirve con esmero. Está a 1,4 km de la terminal de autobuses. Se tarda 15 minutos en caminar. En general, es excelente.

Backpacker Niveau, der Begriff Lodge ist bei mir anders belegt. Zimmer spartanisch, nicht mal ein Minitisch o.ä., dafür ist der Preis nicht gerechtfertigt, Frühstück enttäuschend: Rührei, Cornflakes, Toast, ganz schlechten Kaffee, Teller gibts keine. Jedes Truckermotel gibt sich mehr Mühe. Das Personal wohnt anscheinend mit dort, zumindestens führt es sich so auf. Das ganze Haus ist mit einem landestypischen Rauchzeugs eingenebelt und der Rezeptionist macht Yoge in der Lobbi. Wenigsgstens gehen die Heizung und das WLAn gut. Der angekündigte Bergblick ist wohl der über die Straße hinter den Häusern der Ortschaft. Es wurde eine Zimmerkaution (50 Euro) verlangt. Insgesamt ist alles im Ort sehr teuer (zB. Wanderkarte ab 13TSD ARS), vorher einkaufen empfiehlt sich

Hotel bem simples e com políticas de funcionamento esquisitas, como por exemplo ter que deixar dinheiro em Espécie retido( 50 dólares) na recepção a fim de “garantir” reparos em roupa de cama e toalhas caso houvesse danos( com detalhe de que a roupa de cama e toalha já apresentavam manchas). Política de não poder consumir alimentos ou bebidos no interior do quarto e não poder entrar ou sair do hotel após meia noite. Tudo estranho. Calefação não funcionou quando chegamos e colocaram um calefator elétrico na primeira noite. No dia seguinte, chegamos do trekking e fomos informados que não teríamos mais nenhum calefator, que só tinham colocado mantas extras. Não passamos frio pq fomos na primavera. Mas num inverno, seria complicado. Café da manhã bom. Dicas de passeios, boas também.
