“Silent Slumber”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 January 2011

We stayed at two hotels in El Calafate: Quijote and Miyazato Inn. Quijote was 180 pesos more per night but my quality of sleep was 100% better. We had a room on the fourth floor and although the hotel was completely booked, I couldn't hear another soul around. The bathrooms are great - granite countertops, excellent water pressure, hair dryer, etc. and the beds are fantastic! The rooms all have high speed wifi and, for the first time in weeks, the rooms REALLY do have wifi - strong signals and fast. The others really meant there is wifi in the lobby and if you have a nearby room, you might get lucky, otherwise come to the lobby to work.
I would agree with other reviews - the staff are very friendly but a tad on the clueless side. Although it's on the pricier side, I would stay here again. The quality of sleep is worth it.

“excellent location”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 December 2010

We stayed at Quijote for 4 nights. Reading past reviews, I asked for a very quiet room; no closets, stairwells, elevators (they do not have an elevator we were told). The staff was very accommodating and helpful. The location is excellent, a block from the main street; we walked everywhere.
Our room was spacious and clean. Bathroom was roomy and clean; although it was frustrating that the sink is a pedestal style with out any counter space.
The past reviews speak of thin walls; I think its the doors. The last night we were there, we had to listen to a man talk to a woman on speaker phone for an hour. We heard the entire conversation from across the hall, both doors shut. Other than that, we had an enjoyable stay.
The breakfast was your usual fair; eggs, ham, cheese, pastries, cereal, fruit salad, tea, coffee, fresh juice, yoghurt etc. It was good and plenty to get you going for the day.

“great location,modern hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 October 2010

Right near the center of town, this hotel felt more modern than other places stayed in patagonia. The wifi was free, fast and reliable. The rooms were large and comfortable with TV and a nice bathroom. Service was polite and attentive. The breakfast was pretty terrible, but so has been every breakfast everywhere for the most part. I'd recommend this hotel for sure

“It did.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 November 2008

person found this review helpful

This hotel is very near the centre of town with loads of shops and restaurants.
The hotel was alright - not much more to say,room OK,service OK.
We had to move rooms as the loo flush was broken in the morning and the hotel plumber/handyman,hadn't shown up in the afternoon!
Breakfast could have been improved,they even ran out of eggs one day we were there - I went to the supermarket and bought them 1/2 dozen to make a point!
