Hotel Posada Los Alamos

“Large hotel, traditional decor, close to town”

Probably the largest hotel in El Calafate that we saw and the hotel is older and traditional in decor. Room was very large and comfortable and hotel had a lot of amenities although we didn't have time to check any of them out.

Probably the largest hotel in El Calafate that we saw and the hotel is older and traditional in decor. Room was very large and comfortable and hotel had a lot of amenities although we didn't have time to check any of them out. It's an easy walk from here to restaurants in town. and there is a golf course across the street but don't have any details on using it. It's a nice property but just large so if you like more boutique hotels, you might want something different.

“Great location”

This hotel is located a couple of blocks away from the center of town. It's very easy to walk yo the restaurants and shops. The hotel is comfortable but a little tired.

This hotel is located a couple of blocks away from the center of town. It's very easy to walk yo the restaurants and shops. The hotel is comfortable but a little tired. Our bathroom shower/ was on the smaller size. The buffet breakfast was good and has an omlet station. They have a heated pool that is about 89° and heavily chlorinated. Still a very relaxing thing to do after climbing a lot of steps.

“Some good things, some not so good”

The hotel is beautiful from the outside and in a very good location in El Calafate - within easy walking distance of the main shopping and dining street.

I was here with a tour group for a tour of Patagonia. The hotel is beautiful from the outside and in a very good location in El Calafate - within easy walking distance of the main shopping and dining street. The staff were welcoming but ultimately the service was just pretty good, not excellent. The rooms are *small* and my room in particular was very hot - there was no themostat in my room and the small window did not allow cool air to enter from outside. I asked the front desk for assistance and they brought me a fan, which was something, but in the end it just circulated the hot air. The bathrooms are old but functional. I think the rooms just need to be renovated to modern standards, but perhaps they don't feel pressure to do much since it is probably the nicest hotel in this small town. The restaurant was good for both breakfast and dinner.

“Adequate for two nights”

A modest aging property located in the small town of Califate that provides a convenient base for exploring the nearby lake and natural wonders. It looks quite stately from the lobby and exterior but the rooms and especially the bathrooms are long over due for an upgrade. We stayed for two nights… more

A modest aging property located in the small town of Califate that provides a convenient base for exploring the nearby lake and natural wonders. It looks quite stately from the lobby and exterior but the rooms and especially the bathrooms are long over due for an upgrade. We stayed for two nights at the end of January as part of a tour to visit glaciers and national parks. We stayed in a king room on the 2nd floor. While perfectly clean and comfortable it was definitely a step down from other hotels on this trip-comparable to a mid-scale spot in the US. Like other area hotels in Patagonia, there is no Ac due to the normally cool climate and heat is provide via antiquated radiators. Luckily there was a large sliding window to open but without any cross ventilation or fan to move air, the room felt stuffy. The small bathroom was at least 20 years old with outdated fixtures like the tub/shower combo and a tiny single sink with antiquated faucet and sputtering water pressure. Bath amenities were also very basic. Breakfast was included and while there were many selections, items were largely packaged and canned foods set out like canned pears, cold cuts, and processed meats and cheese. As I said, despite the woeful lack of creature comforts, as a place to crash for a couple of nights it was perfectly adequate.
