Giving 3 stars mainly because amenities definitely need an upgrade - especially the shower. Rooms were just ok - no elevators. our room was in second floor and when we checked out, no staff was available at reception so we struggled to carry 5 suitcases from 2nd floor to lobby. For the price I paid, expected an upscaled room.

Pros - convenient location to elcalafate city for restaurants/cafe and convenient for tour pick up

The hotel’s exterior and communal areas are lovely, the same can’t be said about our room which is a shame. Style over substance. The room was a good size however it is the hardest mattress I have ever slept on! There was not a lot of light in the room either and the bathroom was very haphazard in construction.

The hotel is centrally located, close to downtown and the front desk staff are outgoing and helpful. There is a shortcut to the bus station which works well if you just have a backpack. For larger luggage, you will need a taxi. There are lots of dining options in the downtown area, and the street is lined with many shops, which was surprising for this small town. The breakfast is adequate and they will serve you a portion of scrambled eggs on request. The rooms are a bit tight, and not sound proof, and the shower setup wasn’t in the best shape. If you have a room on the first floor and have a lot of luggage, you’ll have to haul it up the stairs. Given the location, convenience, and included breakfast, this is an ok place for a couple of nights.

As a solo female hiker, I spent 3 nights at Hotel del Glaciar Libertador and felt like I got value for money as far as convenience and location. When I first got there, it was peak summer season and I was very worried at check in when the printout of hotel guests with reservations did not include my name.I had just flown over 40 hours from Malaysia and didn't have backup plans! Luckily the receptionist sorted me out, citing a system error between Expedia and the local hotel booking system (I hope they have resolved this!) and luckily there was a room available for me. I still give them 5 stars because they sorted it out quickly and I had all the convenience I needed. The buffet breakfast was a delivious toast and fruits every morning, simple but hearty. All my tour companies (Hielo y Aventura and Solo Patagonia) had no problem picking me up in the mornings because it's a very recognizable hotel in a central location. My room was very spacious and clean, and well equipped with the amenities I needed to relax after strenous hikes everyday. It's also walking distance (about 5-10 minutes) of the city center where all the shops and dining is. There is a convenient grocery store next door for simple snacks. Although this hotel has many backpackers (I think) I got a lot of privacy in my room and it was very safe and quiet for me.

The rooms are simple - no frills but sufficient for a good stay. Note - the bed is slightly on the hard side. The breakfast selection is rather sparse. It’s a pleasant location and makes for a good walk to the downtown strip. An excellent value.

Front desk reception was extremely unhelpful. My trip took 12 hours longer than expected. I arrived at 9:28am after missing the night in the hotel. Breakfast normally ended at 9:30am. Even though I was 2 minutes before the deadline, I was told I could not get breakfast, even after my delayed travel experience.

The lady in the kitchen was going to make me eggs, but the receptionist went out of her way to cancel the order.

Generally, the receptionist seemed to enjoy exercising 'petty' power.

Check-in: Sep 29, 2024
Check-out: Oct 3, 2024

We booked our room months in advance. We asked for a queen size bed. When we arrived in the hotel, there was only one person to check us in. I understand that she, Andre, was doing her best. She was pleasant and welcoming but it took about 40 minutes to check in due to having to answer many, many questions from guests who were checking in before us. To wait that long to check in is quite unacceptable in any hotel. Not good. The hotel should have another person to assist with check in.

She believed we had booked a room with two twin beds but we had requested a queen size bed. When she finally took us to our room, it looked nothing like the photos we had seen on Expedia. The room was extremely small, not clean, old and unkept (rust, furniture in bad shape) no TV, a window with a view to a small piece of dirt and walls, no safe for our passports, only two bath towels and two hand towels. We were shocked and disappointed. Again, that looked nothing like the photos shown on Expedia.

We left the hotel immediately. We never had such a frustrating experience at a hotel. We felt deceived because we would never have booked and paid in advance for a room like the one they gave us.

This is important because exist with argentina a serius matter regards the exhchange rate between ARS$ and US$. (currency arbitrage)

The only thing we found frustrating was the wifi. There is no passcode but each time you wanted to access it you had to reconnect to it.

Friendly, hipster and Nicely located Hostal

We stayed in Glaciar Libertador for 4 nights and we were really comfortable. The libertador av it’s one of the most important in the area so everything we needed was nearby... supermarkets, bars, restaurants, tours and souvenir shops.
The front desk guys are really nice and they offer tours as well. We used the laundry service and they delivered the clothes the same day, which is nice and convenient.
Breakfast was delicious, they give toasts and crepes, fruits and juices but you can also order scrambled eggs.
We stayed in a private room and even if it was really cold outside, our room was really warm and cozy and we never felt cold at all... we think the floors had temperature control as they were always warm but not quite sure if that’s the case...
Also something super important for us it’s the shower, and here both the water pressure and temperature was amazing! Warm showers are important after walking on a glacier!

Signs of Bed Bugs

While the service was great, I unfortunately had to leave before I stayed here. There were signs of bed bugs in two different rooms, and I could not risk traveling with this problem. It's clear that they have had problems with them as the beds are stripped when you arrive. Mattresses look very old. I know it is a low price, but I was able to get so much more value at Calfate Hostel and a clean room. Front desk person was very nice, and it us in a good part of the town. Hopefully thet will make some upgrades and work on this, using matress protectors.
