Fabulous stay at South B&B, El Calafate

We had a great stay at South B&B in El Calafate. The place is conveniently located close to town and with easy access to all the shops and restaurants within a short walking distance to the Main Street. The breakfast served at the hotel each morning was super fabulous. We had a great time at this hotel.

Fair for the price and lovely views

Good value, warm and comfortable bed. Easy walking distance of restaurants in the town via a steep hill. Views were also lovely of the lake. Breakfast could be improved with a couple of things - maybe an alternative to very sweet sugared cereal and some nice jams / marmalades would be good. Maybe cheese/ham for those who don’t eat eggs?

Definitely worth the price

Nice place, very friendly staff, trying to help. The location is not far from the center but there is a steep road. It is good to lose calories after the excellent restaurants. The heating issue needs to be improved.

Excellent option in El Calafate

The hotel is well-located less than a 10 minute walk to the main strip but in a very quiet area just uphill. If you don't like walking uphill or downhill this may not be the place for you, but I found it very convenient. The room is clean and simple, pillows are comfortable, water is hot. The breakfast is great, it actually includes a small portion of eggs with the usual pastries and tea/coffee. The view from the breakfast room over the town and onto the lake beyond is gorgeous.

Great views nothing more

Perched on a hill with its rooms facing the lake, views are great. However, noise travel upslope and there are an awful lot of dogs around barking (more than normal in our 2 months of travel). Also very windy and difficult to have the window open. Our room on the 3rd floor was overlooking straight above the reception area, which added a level of noise. At check-in we mentioned our concerns and she assured us it would be quiet. She was plain lying. Very noisy, you can follow all conversations. Breakfast was good with fresly made eggs on demand with a basket of freshly baked small muffins and a variety of croissant and bread. Fresh fruit available too. The one downside is that both my husband and I caught an i testinal bug and we think it had to be from the ice cubes in the morning juice.

The man who runs the place is unpleasant. The place is old and has a smell of an old unventillated house. The furnitures are old and unmaintained, the sliding doors of the closet need to be moved with force, the safe box has no key, the is no one to help with the suitcase ( there is no elevator) , the is no hot water in the bathroom sink, the is no glass to use while washing teeth, only small jars. since the is no mini fridge in the room I asked the owner to put my sandwich in his refrigerator - he did so under protest. He was angry with me for not buying their overpriced lunch box. I would stay awY from this place.
