We had a lovely stay at Kau Kaleshen. The location was just perfect, located only a few blocks from the main street. The room was simple but cozy for our family of four. The shared space for reading, watching television, or petting the resident cat was quaint. It also offered a shared refrigerator to keep our lunch fresh for the following days’ excursion. The courtyard was a nice space for my kids to run and play outside safely. The staff speak English and were super helpful prior to and during the stay. They even offered to arrange our airport transportation in anticipation of our arrival.

The breakfast was basic with cold foods without variation from day to day. Also, the shower curtain was dirty and needs replacing. Payment was required in cash (USD or Arg Peso) which they contacted me about in advance but I could not find this clause in the booking details.

The property was nice and well maintained. The rooms were good size and clean. The beds were comfortable. We visited in winter and the beds were prepared with warm blankets. Heaters were in the room to adjust as needed. The front staff was very helpful, provided texts and recommendations thru WhatsApp and helped with arranging taxis to and from the airport. We checked out late as our departure was late afternoon at no additional cost. Breakfast was very basic with toast/croissants, jam, one cereal option, ham and cheese slices, coffee/juice. We treated ourselves to a breakfast at a bakery down the street for our last morning.

The location is perfect closest to the main streets in El Calafate. Stores and restaurants are just few steps from the hotel. The breakfast is nice. The stall is super super friendly! I do love Shen, the cute cat. She is the “owner” of the place. She decides everything and we loved her.

I do miss a television in the room. During fall/winter you usually come back early to your room to the sunset is early and the weather is very cold. So, a television in the room will help relax before sleeping. We also missed the restaurant. It was closed due the low season.

Good location 1 block from Main Street in city center, easy walk to eating, bars and shopping. Easy $3 taxi service from bus station, $20 to airport. Adequate for all our needs, but is a modest accommodation. Staff were especially helpful and provided excellent guidance in visiting Glaciers Park. Payment is cash, but exchange rate for $USD was good and easy at Reception (much better than at bank or ATM). Food and discount at restaurant was great.

Breakfast was scant; adding eggs and more hot/cold cereal variety would seem to take little effort, giving the in-house kitchen. We stayed twice, different rooms: some of the linens need updating.

Staff was great. They were friendly and very professional too. They helped me tremendously when I had a problem with my flight cancellation due to the strike. In the end, all sorted out well. The extra day I had to stay due to a flight cancellation ended up being a best day of my whole trip! Room was very clean and bed was comfortable. Housekeeping team was great. They cleaned the room everyday. It was nice coming back to the fresh room after the tour. The hotel also has a common area which is really nice with comfortable sofas and good Wi-Fi. If you have to work remotely (unfortunately) during the trip, you can work in the common area. Breakfast was simple but sufficient. They opened at 6 30 AM for the people leaving early for the tour. The lady working in the breakfast area was nice too. The last thing to mention, don't forget to try the restaurant. The food we ordered was all delicious and the staffs offered a very good service. If I am fortunate enough to com back to El Calafate, this would be my choice for the hotel for sure!!!

The room was not sound proof. I use the earplugs anyway while I sleep, so it did not bother my sleep.

Very clean and cute hotel, good location, 1-2 minute walk to main street, rooms are warm and showers are strong. The staff is friendly and fluent in English. They listened carefully to my wishes and helped me find the best tours. Thanks to them, I was able to experience both glacier trekking in El Calafate and Fitzroy trekking in El Chalten, even though I was only there for two days. They also prepared an assortment of breakfast for me who did not have time to eat breakfast. It was a wonderful stay. Thank you so much.

Nicely located just off the main commercial street, the hotel rooms are in buildings built around a nice garden with large trees and flowers. Our room was fairly small and it is a struggle to find an available power plug to recharge the usual electronics. The hotel has a lounge area with a fridge which is useful if you prepare a lunch for the day or like we did and eat outside at the garden table.

Small room with little space to open your luggage.

Despite the fact that this is 2-star hotel the level of hospitality at its best! Don’t expect luxury rooms and high quality facilities, but this is the place where you arrive deadly tired and full of impressions from excursions, so you are going to ignore lack of luxury. Dinner at the restaurant was very good👍 Franko, the administrator from reception is best of the best. Always ready to help and solve your dificulties.

Breakfast is one of the worst. Be aware to meet little harmless spiders on the ceiling of the bathroom. Heater in the room vas bloody hot. When turned off the room cools down pretty quickly.

The room was comfortable and clean. Leonel, Franco and Julian were hospitable and welcoming. They were always so helpful! Kau Kaleshen has a central location and it was very convenient to get around the town. The wifi was excellent as well. I had a wonderful holiday in El Calafate overall also thanks to the staff at the inn.

The front desk staff were knowledgeable, patient and friendly. The location in the center of town but one block away from the noise makes this place an oasis like it’s name implies…house of the rising sun. Make sure to have dinner at the restaurant! The food, waitstaff and ambience are amazing and unforgettable.

Breakfast could include whole grain toast vs white bread and some natural yogurt
