The room was very clean and spacious. The staff was great and helpful. I enjoyed the way breakfast was done here. They would bring it the night before, and we had breakfast in our comfort in our room. I enjoyed the location but if you want to be close to the center then this place is not for you unless you don’t mind walking 20 minutes. I highly recommend this place.

Positives: The apartment was clean and business was well run. Communication with the host was excellent, they were very responsive.
Negatives: The bathroom needs updating. I would have preferred a hot breakfast but the breakfast tray ( included a variety of breads, pastries, OJ, milk, cereal, and a small plate of ham and cheese) was adequate. Walls are thin.
Need to know: Location is near the edge of town. Consider staying here if you have a rental car.
Overall a cute and cozy stay. We enjoyed it for our family of 4.

The cabin we stayed in was a charming, rustic retreat with two floors. Surrounded by lush trees and vibrant flowers, it was the perfect setting to unwind. One of the thoughtful touches was the breakfast delivery the night before, which allowed us to enjoy it whenever we pleased. The breakfast selection was generous, and the staff were warm and accommodating. We also appreciated the traditional meals served at the nearby restaurant, which were cooked to perfection.

Lovely quaint stay

What a great place to stay. Front desk staff was
Welcoming informative and helpful. We were allowed to check in early. Our cabin was quality clean and well
So tan Ed. There was an upper balcony with a door, a lower deck on the front facing the afternoon sun. Bedrooms are up some tight stairs. Bed was firm but very comfortable. Shower had hot hot generous water. Breakfast was generous and allowed us to use some of it to make snack sandwiches for our day out. It is a bit of a walk from town, 2k walk from the bus station (or 8000ar peso cab ride). There is a shorter walk to a bakery/cafe and to the shoreline. There is a small restaurant cafe on site.

We had two early morning departures but waited less than 5 min for a cab to arrive.

I would recommend staying here. The hosts were delightful.

Beautiful little hideaway

The grounds are beautiful, bursting with flowers that are clearly well tended to. Room itself has nice charm and a beautiful view of the lake. We arrived extremely late due to a flight delay, but we were met by a member of their staff who drove to the hotel after midnight to check us in. They also reached out to arrange our airport pickup, which was really appreciated. Staff was incredibly nice and made us feel very welcome. Breakfast delivery is to your door the night before, nice touch. We walked into town in about 30 minutes using the low road by the riverside, which we enjoyed. My only complaint is that the water sometimes worked in our unit, and sometimes didn’t come out of the taps at all. We didn’t bring this to the attention of the staff so I’m not sure if there was anything they could do to fix it.

Beware of owner

The owner lacks bedside manner; maybe he was having a bad day. As he was showing me the cabin i felt like I wasn't allowed to use most of the basic facilities. I can appreciate conserving gas/water however his attitude was not welcoming and I felt like he was taiking down to me which made it very unpleasant. The towels were stained but I thought, hey they are just old. I got back from an excursion and he greated me with a complaint. I stained his towels and he was trying to \"save them\" i advised him that they were in that condition before i even used them. Customer service goes a LONG way. I didn't dispute the charges, booked and paid for 5 nights and checked out after the second. The young man at the front desk was polite and helpful, he should be running the place.

It wasn't good enough to be so far out of town.

We stayed here with our 7 and 4 year olds. The cabin was nice enough and the hotel staff were very friendly and helpful when arranging e.g. a rental car. But a rental car was needed because the hotel is a long way from anywhere you'd want to go in Calafate. You can walk, but it's quite a long way and not a particularly pleasant walk.

I was surprised by the TripAdvisor awards on the wall.

Quaint and romantic, with the friendliest staff

This cozy little place is a gem that shouldn't be missed. The cabanas are clean, spacious and offer outstanding views of Lago Argentino. The service is what truly sets it apart though. Sergio and Martin take such good care of the guests, from recommending and booking tours for local attractions to the late-afternoon delivery of the next morning's breakfast tray. The only small drawback is the moderate walk to downtown, which is only a $5US cab ride if you prefer that. We loved it here!

Wonderful & Beautiful!

Solares was our favourite hotel in Argentina! Martin & Sergio are both so helpful and have all the info you need about visiting national parks/glaciers, estancias, car hire, etc. They book everything for you and they don't overcharge. We stayed in the lovely 'honeymoon cottage' which had a little balcony with a view of the lake - took some beautiful sunset/sunrise pictures from there. A simple breakfast was provided in our room everyday (juice, milk, tea, coffee, cornflakes, bread, cake, butter, jams). Solares can also provide you with a good packed lunch if you are out for the whole day (or you can buy food from the many supermarkets in town). Have dinner in their restaurant Quidu - it has huge windows overlooking the lake & town, and good wine and food (Patagonian Lamb!). The only downside is that it is a little far from the centre of town and it takes about 40/50 mins to walk (you could take a taxi) to the restaurants and supermarkets. At night, there are no lights on the main road (pitch black) and there is no sign showing the turning for Solares (there is a sign for Hostel Fresnos which is on the same street). So remember the landmarks when you walk out for the first time! There is a confiteria and a small supermarket on the walk into town. Use VES airport transfer bus to and from the airport as they will drop you directly to your hotel. I'd love to go back because Patagonia is beautiful and Solares Del Sur is a charming little place. I hope it always stays that way.

We really enjoyed our stay at this complex. The timber cabin was very relaxing and comfortable. It was nice to have the extra space you don't get from a hotel room. The receptions staff were very friendly and helpful with booking excursions. We were very impressed with the restaurant menu. Packed luches were also available for excursions days which was great. The complex was 25 minutes walk to the centre of el calafate but had a footpath and was a safe area so we didn't mind. Would definetely stay here again if in the area.

Great staff, comfortable rooms

We are a family of 5 and we stayed here for 3 nights while seeing the surrounding area. The staff was so kind and helpful and always went out of their way to make sure we had what we needed. They were very helpful setting up a tour for us to see the glacier and gave us a variety of options of what we could do.
The cabins are large with 2 bedrooms upstairs and a kitchen, sitting area/table and bathroom downstairs.
Breakfast is included, which is delivered the night before. Not the best food, but there is cereal and milk which was fine.
The cabins are a bit outside of town (25-30 min walk) so it can be a hassle to go back and forth for dinner/groceries, but the front desk will happily call you a cab which costs around USD$4. We would usually walk one way and take a cab the other way.
We enjoyed our stay here and would recommend it to others.

Lovely Patagonia

Nice, quaint hotel located a little outside El Calafate. Great service and the people really helped me with the tour packages I closed ahead of time. Good thing I did before I arrived as many of the great tours (Big Ice & Glaciares) were sold out. To go to El Calafate and not partake in these tours would be a crime.
Hotel is not close to the city, but with cheap cabs this is no big deal. We walked it in about 20 minutes. We spent our New Years at the hotel and the restaurant provided a great menu (and great wine).
Breakfast was delivered the night before to the room, so that we could eat at our leisure before we headed out for the days activities. Reheated coffee is not the best option. Hotel could offer a little more variety at Breakfast, as we got tired of the same break, cake everyday.
Our cabin (cabana) was very clean and offered two rooms upstairs and a dining room/tv/kitchen down below. The cabin temperature was ideal and kept out the cold.
The hotel staff was excellent and were always available to help.
Going back to El Calafate, I would return!

FYI. Tour packages only accept CASH, so make sure you are prepared...
