We had a couple of pleasant stays at this nice apartment. The room is spacious with a dining table overlooking the garden. It’s very clean and quiet. Good WiFi. The location is excellent (10-min walk to bus terminal and 5-min walk to the main street). Paola is super friendly and very helpful before and during our stays. I would highly recommend this place.

Private cabin in a great location and close to everything (supermarket, banks, restaurants, gift shops, travel agencies, money exchange, etc.), with good wifi signal and a good breakfast. Hostess is very friendly, Spanish- and English-speaking and accommodating. Cabin is large enough for a family of four, with comfy beds and all the kitchen utensils and appliances needed for quick meals. Quiet neighborhood and on-site private parking is available.

This place is an absolute gem. We only stayed one night, but I would recommend it to anyone staying in El Calafate for longer as well. The little kitchen in the apartment is compact but has everything you need for preparing breakfast, lunches, and simple meals. The bathroom and bedroom are both spacious. Paula, our host, could not have been more helpful. She arranged a pick up to get us to the airport and had lots of tips for the area. She even got up at 6 am to make sure we got on our airport transfer ok. A really fantastic place for a great price.

Good location between bus station and main drag of town. Very nice and accommodating proprietress; she helped us figure out the heater late at night when we had turned it off by mistake. Good internet speed.

Christina

There is coffee, tea, bread and a toaster in the room so you could have your breakfast any time you wanted. This was useful as we had to leave our room very early on the 2 days we stayed here. Paola was very friendly and personally welcomed us when we arrived and sent us off on our last day. She was also available on whatsapp which was convenient. Her dog is absolutely adorable!

El Puente is an easy walk to town-center. Paola at El Puente couldn't be more helpful and organized. We loved the cabin for our family of four.

“Overrated by far”
- • Business trip
- • Travelers with friends
- • Stayed 1 night
- • Submitted from a mobile device
Overcharged an extra 10% for using a foreign credit card - was told that all foreign credit cards cost Argentinians more to charge, but no other place we stayed or visited charged us extra or even mentioned it. I think it’s a deliberate con to trick well-meaning tourists like us out of more money. There was dry blood on one of the towels. The bungalow looks very dated, not like the pictures. The gas radiators either were too hot or inoperable. I was also terrified of there being a gas explosion or fire in the middle of the night. No instructions. We woke with our rooms freezing cold and the common area boiling hot.
Separate rooms. Off-street parking. The owners dog is cute.

“A good, simple, basic convenient, place to stay especially if you have an early flight.”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Stayed 1 night
The apartment had a slightly unloved feel and could have done with a little sprucing up: a new lick of paint and resealing around the bath and sink. Its a good convenient, place to stay especially if you have an early flight But as the fixtures are good: marble sink/kitchen area and dark painted furnishings a warmer colour on the wall (currently a stark white) and more fastidious housekeeping it could be a really lovely place.
Location, especially proximity to airport plus the warmth and helpfulness of the welcome.

Nothing!
Excellent communication via WhatsApp. Very welcoming with just the right amount of information about the area - supermarket with opening hours, restaurants etc. Warm and cozy. Clean. Amazing shower. Breakfast making facilities (mini stove and microwave) as well as ingredients to make breakfast left out every day. Apples and pears on the tree to help yourself to. Cleaned everyday. Transport back to the airport arranged for us. Paola came to tell us when our tour arrived for pick up - between 7&7.30.

“Lovely host, wonderful property, quiet but close to town.”

It was all perfect.
We loved our stay here although it was unfortunately only for one night. As other guests have reported Paola is a wonderful host - always happy to help. She ordered our pick-up for the airport and she constantly checked that the minibus was on its way so we wouldn't miss our flight. Although the town is within easy walking distance and the property is on a main road there is no noise and the surroundings are beautiful - set in an old orchard. The room was exceptionally clean and there was everything we needed. We would without doubt stay here again and we would recommend El Puente Apartments to everyone.
