Wish we could have some eggs for breakfast.
We didn't have any ARS currency when we checked in but Anna told us we can pay later. That was a great time saver and she even offered us delicious Alfajores.

Breakfast was quite simple. We weren't allowed to use the kitchen until 12 even after breakfast was over. So we couldn't boil some eggs to compensate for the basic breakfast. And the way in which we were asked to leave the kitchen was a bit abrupt.
Nice cozy, warm place. Friendly fellow travelers. The room was comfortable with everything we needed.

Small cramped rooms, heaters didn’t turn off, tired bathrooms, kitchen not well equipped, wifi disconnects as soon as you lock your phone and you have to re enter.
Helpful staff to book excursions and taxis. Good location just off main street. Breakfast basic but good.

we had a double room which was quite small and the double bed was extremely narrow. In Addition the room was very warm so sleeping was a challenge.
The breakfast was really good and the staff generally helpful. The community area is quite nice.

I think for the price for the stay it was pretty much everything we expected. The only thing about the room was the mattress didn’t quite fit the bed frame so it was a bit saggy. Room was also on the warm side.
Centrally located to the main street (where all the shops and restaurants are), but just far enough away that it is quiet. Not too far from the El Calafate Bus terminal. Cab ride only costed 130 pesos. Also really liked the common kitchen, very useful. Our room was small but had a private bathroom and was clean. The staff was super helpful! The lady who checked us in also helped us book our boat tour to see the many glaciers around Calafate (Uppsala, Perito Moreno and a few more). We are happy to have stayed at Bla guesthouse and would recommend it!
