Excellent place. Amazing staff, beautiful lovation, easy safe 40 min walk to downtown. 7500 ars taxi.
We loved the view and quietness. The food was really good and priced well.
The bed was not the most comfortable one, probably need to replace some mattresses soon but it was un uncomfortable, very clean lively place.

It was so-so but not expensive...

The breakfast was decent. Many pastry options, eggs, juices, fruit.

We had dinner the first night, pizza and pasta - neither was good but to be fair the pizza was consistent with what we saw at other places so maybe that's how they like it (3x cheese, little sauce, finger think sausage).

First week of April it was just above freezing outside. The room had radiator heating which was too hot and dry. The first thing I did was turn it off and open the window which was better but so-so. We were there 3 nights and the wife woke-up with a nose-bleed the first morning, probably the dry air. She was ok the next 2 nights. The room condition was dated but if you remove grandma's bed cover it was ok. The mattresses were not comfortable.

WiFi and cellular reception were good.

We rented a car and parking was easy. Without a car the location would be awkward - maybe ok with an Uber. I'd guess it's roughly 1.5 miles from the center of town and it was often windy/rainy so not the most walkable. Weather changes quickly there.

I saw a sign for a massage at a reasonable rate but when I asked the front desk at 5pm if I could get one the guys kind of laughed. I asked if it's too late and they said yes. Ok... no offer to book one for later etc.

If you do a car rental at the airport, beware that \"Rent-a-car Argentina\" is actually \"EuropCar\". Neither the Expedia nor Car Rental directions mentioned this, I had to ask someone - I reported it to Expedia.

Great stay --- the hotel is very clean, friendly, and provides excellent service. It is about 25kms from the airport, and taxis charge about $30USD for a transfer (July 2017).

The hotel is also outside of the town center, but there are shuttles after 5PM every hour.

Prices do fluctuate quite a bit here, so do your due diligence and to ensure you're getting the best price.

A woman staff is good at English, which is really helpful. But, sometimes they made mistakes for charging lunchbox or other expenses. The lobby is good but the bed in the room is too small. And don't expect wi-fi in our room. Even though you can access to the wi fi, the connectivity is not good.

Good stay

Check-in went fine, once I reminded them (after 3 or 4 reminder emails and notations in our reservation) that we needed 3 single beds. In fact, the room we booked had 3 singles and no option for other bed arrangements. Yet, I noticed when I signed the check-in papers that we had been assigned a two-bed room. The receptionist quickly changed us when I mentioned I had reserved a room with 3 beds.

Problem is that the third bed is not a regular bed but a sofa bed. Sofa beds are never as comfortable and the twin size was probably 10-inches narrower than a regular US twin size bed. The other two twins were US regular width. (Note that in Latin America, twin beds are always narrower than in North America).

Breakfast was great, plenty of options, from cereals, yogurt, fresh fruit, toasts, pastries, eggs, fresh OJ, coffee, etc.

Despite many reviews that wi-fi does not work, we had a very different experience. It worked perfectly well from our room (303) and common areas.

Service was very good; all staffers were very polite and ready to help when asked.

Nice hotel - a bit out of the way

Nice hotel. The room is clean and comfy and breakfast is good. As other guests have noted, it is a bit far away from the town and the hotel shuttle only runs in the evening so you have to call a cab (or walk about 30 minutes) if you want to go to town in the day. But on the plus side you are the last one to get picked up and the first to get dropped off on the tours to perito Moreno glacier. Also - the wifi connection doesn't work at the hotel. It technically works but is so weak that we would head into town and try wifi at restaurants there.

Must try the food in the restaurant (especially the steak). Fantastic! The restaurant is the only saving grace of this hotel.

On check-out, they wanted to charge us for use of the mini bar. We never used any items in the bar. After an unpleasant discussion, there was no charge.

El Calafate

I really loved this place. I wished we had stayed more than just one night. But I booked for the single night because we weren't originally sure how long we were staying.
Great service, they hold your bags in a secure room when we went to the Glacier hike.
The breakfast was delicious but wish we had more time to enjoy it.
There was a gigantic larger than california king size bed in our room, then a smaller twin size bed that was separate. Myself and my girlfriend ended up staying on the huge bed together.
The shower was nice, this was a great treat after having been in Patagonia the last 5 days.

Our visit to El Calafate Argentina

We had a wonderful time in Calafate. The glaciers are spectacular. This hotel in Calafate is very nice. It has multiple lobbies which provide a picturesque view of the beautiful landscape. The breakfast is included and it is greater than our Continental breakfast here in the States (just providing a baseline). There were ONLY 2 issues we encountered pertaining to the room. First, the beds are small (smaller than a twin) and the room's temperature was uncomfortably warm. We turned off the heater and left the window open the entire time and it was still warm. Albeit, we were there at the warmest time of the year (February). We would return because overall RH Hotel is very welcoming.

Uma decepção.

Uma grande decepção. Havia me hospedado dias antes em um similar que é muito superior e tem preço bem semelhante, até mais em conta dependente do dia. O hotel não tem maleteiro. Funcionária do saguão muito solícita, porém claramente sobrecarregada, atendendo sozinha em horário de check out e ainda na função de carregar malas. Quartos standard são todos virados para rua, dando a impressão de hospedagem de beira de estrada, obviamente com ruídos. Saguão novo e bem decorado, mas os quartos são instalações mais para velhas. Banheiro intermediário para velho também, porém satisfatório. Camas de solteiro pequenas. Wi-fi ruim. Check out muito cedo às 10h da manhã. Transfer para o centro em péssimos horários que não atendem às necessidades dos hóspedes. Nenhum transfer de manhã, nenhum à tarde e os da noite apenas até 21:30. No similar os horários são bem melhores. Não me hospedaria lá novamente. Foi a diária mais cara da viagem e a pior experiência.
