Excellent base for exploring Calafate region, but a little outside main town, so reliant on 10 min trip by shuttle (pick ups twice a day in or out of town), or 45 min walk to centre along lake. Hotel was wonderful - really friendly, responsive staff, great facilities and restaurant, clean, well designed rooms, good pool, great views over lake.

It was an amazing view and beautiful room and location looking at the lake, amazing sunrise and sunsets, warm and helpful reception and staff, good restaurant, lovely pool and more. Easy to get to town by hotel shuttle or taxi (or longer walk). We would totally stay there again.

Design Sites at Calafate was exactly what we were looking for to kickstart our winter time in Patagonia: cozy, very clean, inviting, easy access, and well located with amazing views of the lake and mountains. Highly recommended!

It was a good hotel! It looked pretty and everything worked as it should. The restaurant was pretty but noisy and not a gastronomic triumph; WiFi and jacuzzi worked well; everything was clean and orderly. The spa and gym were not much worth mentioning. The surroundings of the hotel are not the prettiest, but the view to the lake & mountains are nice!

Beautifull view from the room! Very big rooms with a comfortable beds. Breakfast is nice and rich in varieties of foods! Staff is friendly. The pool is a bit disappointed... The hotel is far away from the city center: it is quiet but you need transportation to the city and back (it is not a big problem). Recommended, I would stay here next time, too!

Dopey front desk staff. Cracked window in room. Roof not properly fastened so constant banging noise as the constant strong winds hit the hotel. Too far out of town. Even the taxi driver couldn’t find it.

Great views, spacious rooms. Staff generally gracious but seem tired at times. I liked that we were able to text the front desk via Whatsup to help us get taxis from downtown to get back to hotel even past 10pm. Food prices at the hotel restaurant are very reasonable but not the best. The breakfast selection was good. You’ll have to take a taxi to get to and from town. The hotel shuttle service (taxi that they call and pay for you) runs 4x per day (10am, 6pm to town; 12pm, 8pm from town back to hotel).

Over priced. Air conditioning did not work. Front desk denied it was not working. After 3 trips to front desk a portable unit was provided. Restaurant staff was not helpful, food was adequate, but uninspired. Room had hot pot, but no coffee, tea or cups were provided. .

2/10 Poor

Dec 27, 2023

The hotel is in desperate need of a full renovation. I would say is a 2 stars hotel, definitely not 4. The walls are thinner than paper. You can hear everything that’s happening in the room next, above and under you. It was almost impossible to rest with so many kids running in the hallways, yelling and screaming and the parents or the hotel staff wouldn’t do nothing about it. The price per room VS what you get is totally a ripoff. The breakfast buffet was very poor. I wouldn’t stay here again.

disappointed

The hotel was a bit run down and very bare-bones. There was an electric kettle in our room with no mugs, tea or instant coffee. The carpet in our room had many stains. The pool was rather disappointing - the steam room was broken, and one had to check out towels and return them to the lobby (not in the same area as the pool.) The pool is quite small and barely heated. The staff was fine - did not really go out of their way to be welcoming or helpful.
