The cutest rustic and homey hotel. The property is gorgeous and within walking distance from the downtown area as well as the bus station (took the bus to El Chaltén from here). Room was simple but clean and well cared for with a decent sized shower in the bathroom. The included breakfast was very good and I particularly enjoyed the orange juice and coffee. I truly do not think I could have picked a better place to stay and would highly recommend Picos del Sur for anyone staying in El Calafate

Hotel Picos del Sur offers a fairly convenient location, just a 10-minute walk from the main street of El Calafate. The rooms are clean, though the amenities are somewhat below average, and the bed is decent for a comfortable night’s rest. Breakfast is an average continental selection, enough to start the day. There’s a small sit-up bar and a restaurant on-site, though the menu is quite limited. Check-out is at 10 a.m. The property also features a nice patio area with a great view over the grounds. Staff are friendly, and overall the hotel offers pretty good value for the price.

The check out time was 10am and when we requested for 11am check out they said it was not possible and the way they replied to our request was terrible. Also, please don't try their happy hour menu.

The hotel is located 10 minutes away from the town centre, a short walk up the hill. The rooms would need some updating but the housekeeping was excellent. The breakfast buffet is vary basic and could benefit from some yogurts, fresh fruits (not only apples).

The lounge/restaurant offered a great view of the lake and its a great place to enjoy a drink in the evening and admire the scenery.

What stood out was the staff, even though they were not fluent in English they were extremely helpful and pleasant.

A good basic hotel for the location.

not worth the money, look for something cheaper.

value for money in el Calafate is generally not good. They know tourists come no matter what as their attraction, the glaciars is so great that the accommodation doesn't matter. At this hotel, the rooms are outdated. I further found a heating facility in my bathroom that I couldn't change as the knob was missing and the button for the toilet flushing was also not there. Told the front desk staff, he made me leave the key. When I returned in the evening, nothing was repaired. Also, I was on a tour to Torres del Paine and knew, I would returning late. So I asked the front desk staff if the kitchen was really closing at 11pm or if they then could still prepare something simple (thinking sandwich). She said yes. When I returned that day at 11.10pm, the same woman was sitting there and told me that the kitchen was closed since 11pm! So much for guest service... And then the Wi-Fi: It was hardly working, very bad connection. The front desk lady said this was everywhere in el Calafate. Well, a friend of mine stayed in a hostel and here Wi-Fi worked just fine...

Good hotel in terms of value for money, location, very helpful staff. The only downside is a VERY poor breakfast. Out of the 8 hotels we stayed in during our trip this was the most basic, poor selection, no warm options, one day they even run out of toast bread, didn't \"refill\" often enough so when big groups came down, we had to wait and then be quick :-)
