Reviews of Salamandra Apartamentos

River view, about 10 minute walk to downtown with shops & restaurants. A produce store across the street. Julio the owner helped us with the luggage since our apartment was on the 2nd floor.

Only one bathroom for 4 people but we managed.

Spacious studio apartment with a useful kitchenette. Location was great for walking along the lake and a short walk to restaurants/shops. Lovely host.

Love the size of the apartment, the view of the lake, the many beds, the price, the travel agent next-door, the short walk to town, the quieter location, the market across the street, and our hosts, Julio and his mom! Both very personable and helpful! There is gas oven we could light and heat up our pizza which we really appreciated. The water is drinkable from the tap and very good! The heat works very well, we even had to turn it off most of the time because the sun kept the rooms warm. They were kind enough to do us some extra favors which we really appreciated!!

I cannot fault anything, we were very happy with the apartment. I might recommend a mattress pad, but it didn't keep us from sleeping very well!

Very clean apartment. In front of Lake Argentina. Close to everything. On the Main Street. Has all the basic amenities.

Everything was great

Amazing Apartement. It's situated just in front of the lake, which makes an amazing view. Bakery and sell supermarket are just around the corner, so we found everything we needed within a short distance. The owners were super friendly and helpful with everything. Totally would recommend to stay here.

The apartments are located only around a 10 minutes walk from the city center and one block from la Costanera to have some good walks. The apartment was in excellent condition and very well equipped. The lady that received us was lovely and gave us a nice welcome. They had no parking but you could park on the street.

I can't think of something I would like to complain to be honest, especially when considering the price

We liked everything. Friendly and helpful hosts who made us feel like family. Spacious nicely-decorated apartment. Great view over the lake from the window. Excellent value.

There was nothing we didn't like

Big warm room with a beautiful view. Very clean. Fully equipped kitchen with a big supermarket in 10 mins walk. The Argentina Lake is across the street downstairs where the wild birds live (flamingos). There is a nice seafood local restaurant 3m walk close.

The flat is a bit out of the center which is around a 20-25 minutes walk to the downtown. Besides, we observed a 7,000 ARS overcharge upon arrival, differing from the displayed booking.com reservation amount. While I acknowledge potential price variations due to the current situation in Argentina, our three other simultaneous reservations in Buenos Aires, Calafate, and Ushuaia maintained the originally booked amounts. Although a minor sum, the inconsistency has raised concerns.

The property itself was great, very homely and spacious

We were warned about the toilet flush not working properly and unsurprisingly, it broke shortly after we arrived - it was fixed the next day however. The host forgot that they had agreed to extend our stay by an extra night, which was ultimately resolved, however we were told we could only settle in cash or paying by card in person. We were on a full day tour of the glacier and this meant that we had to walk 30 mins back home to pay, and then 30 mins back in to town for dinner. There was no flexibility to pay the next morning or by bank transfer, despite it being their error.

Nice location, just in front of the lake, in a quiet neighborhood. Clean and comfortable two bedroom apartment. The host was also very kind and attentive.

Comfortable, well equipped, clean, spacious, within easy walking distance from the restaurants and shops in the town center. We stated there with our two boys and it was perfect. The apartment was facing north with beautiful views of the lake and mountains. Would go back there if I ever return to El Calafate.

Todo súper confortable y limpio!

This family-run property is so lovely! They are available out the back but they never intrude. They are friendly, the rooms look over an incredible wetland which even had flamingos when I was there (magical). The heating and double glazing is perfect, they left me a little treat basket, and were so generous and hospitable

It was all good! It’s about a ten minute walk to the heart of town but that’s good if you want more peace at night
