Exceptional accommodation in the heart of El Calafate. The staff went above and beyond to ensure myself and my wife were happy and comfortable. The accommodation was at a very high standard and we will definitely stay in Mabra suites on our return to El Calafate. WiFi was strong. A special mention to the two ladies who served the breakfast. Very impressive establishment.

Santiago reached out to us days before arriving. He gave us all the necessary information about how to reach him or his brother. Everything we needed to know how to enter the apartment. He also added additional information what to do in Califate and recommendations. A lot of little thinks are very well thought through. To connect to the internet, he provided a QR code so that the connection can be established with an easy click. These QR codes are even outside for travelers who arrive without access to the internet. We have met Santiago the next day and he gave us lots of recommendations what to do and ideas where to go. He was always reachable through WhatsApp and helped us a lot.

Extremely friendly host Pablo who is quick to respond and always ready to help. He gave us a birthday present. What a pleasant surprise! The cabin is very close to bus terminal so it's convenient to stay there. Also not far from walking to town center. We stayed for three nights and had very good sleep. So relaxing!

We loved our little stay in this very comfortable and warm apartment. The kitchen was well stocked, the bed was extremely comfortable, great shower, plenty of space and excellent WiFi. The location is far from the bus terminal so arrange transport or have pesos for a taxi. The apartment is close to a larger supermarket (10min walk) as well as some local shops. The centre is around 20mins but with many different ways to walk, it's a very enjoyable way to see another side of Calafate. You can take a taxi from the centre back from the taxi stalls for 2,000. Santiago was absolutely incredible with helping myself (solo traveller with a toddler) and for his hospitality and help alone I cannot recommend staying here enough. Not only did he offer to pick us up from the bus terminal but he was so helpful in exchanging money and answering my million and one questions. 10/10 for attention to detail and comfortable stay.

    The staff were really helpful and friendly and helped us to book a tour to the glacier with them for cheaper than we had found online, and a taxi to the bus station. The hostel was well maintained and very clean. They provided free coffee and some basic cooking items such as oil. The kitchen was very well stocked with utensils and crockery - perfect for us as we cooked all of our meals during our stay.

    Perfect location for the bus and not far from the centre of the town. Great helpful staff. Able to organise trips and buses to other destinations (they are also a tour company). Always being cleaned and shared kitchen for a hostel was very clean. Food box for guests to leave excess food for other guests to use. They responded immediately to a problem with a leak in the bathroom.

    This property was amazing. Such a great location, close to town and easy to get about both in the day and late in the evening. Very clean and lots of facilities in the kitchen to use which was great. Florencia is a fab host so helpful and friendly. When our flight was delayed she let us stay longer and we were very grateful!

    This hostel was very clean, to be honest I wasn't expecting much because it was the cheapest hostel I could find, but it was perfect for me. My only suggestion would be to say that it would be great to have a little shelf so if you are on the upper bunk you have somewhere to put your phone / wallet. The wifi was super fast and the kitchen was spotless. I'll definitely return.
