As a very frequent traveller with high standard (I have been Oneworld Emerald with AA and SPG Platinum for couple of years, you will know what I mean if you know how to qualify and re-qualify such status), I am usually very picky when commenting hotels. As there are not so many hotel chains in Patagonia, this hotel is excellent and way beyond my expectation. Everything is perfect. The large room, super clean environment and most important all the extremely friendly reception people made it probably the best hostel I have every stayed.

The staff was outstanding. Everyone working reception were extremely helpful, patient with my halting Spanish (they all spoke English very well, but allowed me to practice my Spanish as I asked questions), and helped guide me as to what treks would be best for what days. They even used a weather and wind website to suggest the best days for certain treks so I wouldn't be in the high mountains on the windiest days of my stay. Hot showers, comfortable beds, nice other travelers. Loved my stay at Patagonia Traveler's Hostel.

It's one of the best hostels. Everything is at high standards. Location on a hill is superb overlooking the lake; staff is highly engaged to make your stay an experience and always help you. They truly go the extra mile in customer service. Private rooms have modern feel, big windows, very comfy. Very contemporary architecture with big windows to enjoy Patagonia views. On site food very good, great place to socialize. It made my stay in Calafate an amazing experience altogether.

The best part of the hotel was definitely the friendly and helpful staff. Apart from that, we loved the breakfast buffet, the location in proximity to the center of the town, the strong and warm shower, and the tips and recommendations received from the staff. The beds are comfortable, the rooms are warm, and the atmosphere of the entire hotel just perfectly matches the nature and explorer/pioneering spirit that you'd like to experience in Patagonia. Recommended!

This open 24 hrs hostel is super well located; right beside the trails for the Fitz Roy. The staff were very nice (great suggestion of trek to do: rio electrico!) and the place is super clean and is fun to stay at but with all people traveling around patagonia...unfortunately we experienced bed bugs. The staff took great care of us. They brought us to a 3 star hotel located right beside while they were treating the room. I only have good things to say about Rancho grande.

Staff is very friendly and helpful. We were doing a W treck in Patagonia and stayed here before and after the treck. They let us leave extra bags we did not need on the treck at the hotel at no extra charge. Breakfast is included and is excellent with many options available. They also have a great restaurant. We tried eating in town for the most part but on the night of check-in we got in late and were too tired to go out. So, we ate at the hotel restaurant. Delicious!

Everything was great! Cozy and well equipped cabin, a lot of windows, very friendly and helpful staff, good breakfast (served to your cabin at desired time). Beautiful hotel territory with ibises walking around. After not very pleasant experience with lodging in El Chalten (not the place, just lodging) Santa Monica in El Calafate was a really pleasant surprise and probably my best stay not only in Patagonia, Argentina but South America (also traveled across Peru)!

The property is spectacular, the hotel is scrumptious, the food is wonderful, and the staff is excellent. A one of a kind luxury hotel of the world. I somewhat compare it to the Ahwahnee Hotel in Yosemite. Patagonia, ah Patagonia...the Llao Llao Hotel is where we ended up after three weeks of traveling from Tierra Del Fuego north...what a lovely way to spend the last part of our unbelievably adventurous trip.

New and modern hotel, very stylish! Staff at the frontdesk was friendly and helpful. Room was gigantic and comfortable. Nice few on the lake. First room in Patagonia we stayed in that actually had a tv (we didn’t use it so I have no info about the quality of the channels). The hotel is a little away from the main street up the hill. It is an easy 10 min walk down to the main street.

This is the only hotel in the Patagonia area that gave us the 21% tax refund and calculated our rate based on the AR$ rate at time of booking. This is very honest of them. The hotel has outdated decors but is very clean and has large rooms. The location is close to the bus stop (6 minutes walk) which is convenient for transfer.

Amazing views! Generous Hotel with lots of extras we did not expect. Great breakfast, Afternoon snacks and evening refreshments! The hot tub and Sauna really hit the spot since our stay was in October and it was cold. We spent 3 weeks in Patagonia but only 4 days and 3 nights at El Faro, the nest 4 days and 3 nights.

While the hotel had wonderful views, the best asset of the hotel was their excellent staff. They helped us plan excellent excursions to maximize our time in Patagonia. More importantly, they helped us rebook airline tickets and other trip components after we found out we had a cancelled flight.

Modern and spotlessly clean with fully stocked kitchen. Paz was an amazing host and very helpful. The apartment was perfect and the best we have stayed at in all of Patagonia. Only a couple of blocks from the carrefour and 15 mins from city. Wonderful place!

The wifi was very fast - which is a bit rare in Patagonia and I really needed it. The apartment is in a good neighborhood, with everything you need within walking distance. The hosts were very nice to accomodate my large-size dog in the apartment.

First of all, this hotel is very kind. All staff are always helpful for guests. Also, they are truly reliable and smile. Not only these merits also this hotel is very clean and cozy. If you visit in patagonia, don’t hesitate your base camp.

Staff was very helpful. Reasonably price place with kitchen and partial view of the lake for on the bedroom. It really felt like Patagonia instead of being in a hotel that could be anywhere. I would stay here again.

This was the best place I stayed at on my Patagonia trip. The lovely hosts provided fantastic tips and information, and the apartment was comfortable, clean, and thoughtfully laid out. I’d love to stay again.

Excellent breakfast -- probably the best we had in Argentina and definitely the best in Patagonia! Friendly staff and cool atmosphere in the hotel.

Friendly staffs made me stay comfortable. One of my favorite hostel in Patagonia!!
