It’s not far to downtown, but need to walk through a roundabout (no walk way), have to be careful. Always be waken up in early morning by noise in the hallway or neighbors. Service is very good. Generally fine.

The lady owner is very kind. Besides the great breakfast and other services, we stayed on the Xmas day, she invited us and some other guests to celebrate the Xmas eve with her family and staff. There were food, wine, snacks, etc. One guest was a musician so we had music as well! I don't speak Spanish but felt completely at home. She treats her guests as family members. It was an unforgettable, unique experience for us. Highly recommend.

Excellent place with very friendly hosts
Fantastic stay at Hosteria Rukahue. A clean, comfortable and very friendly place run by hosts who cannot do enough for their guests. It's about 15 minutes to walk to the main street (and uphill on the way back). Would definitely recommend this place.

Great in all but one thing.
It is as a good hotel with very friendly and helpful staff. Rooms are a bit small and the showers are only 20 inches square. A bigger shower and they would be perfect.

We were only there for two nights, but found it to have many thoughtful touches and a cosy space. It's quite a walk to the restaurants and bars though, so would recommend having a car.

This is a very warm, family run establishment on the outskirts of town. It takes basically 10 minutes to walk to the center of Calafate. At first I saw that as something of a demerit but over time I came to enjoy its peripheral position outside of the hubbub of the tourist center. The foyer of the hotel has a great upstairs area for reading and writing. I had a lot of writing to catch up on so I used basically an entire day at one of their tables upstairs. They are very good at arranging anything you could want in terms of shuttles or expeditions. I spent four nights there and recommend it.
