Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Lionel at the reception was so friendly and helpful. Very quaint/historical feeling like some place in upscale Austria or Germany. Lovely, clean room, and excellent breakfast.
We had a lovely stay at Kau Kaleshen. The location is very convenient to the center of town and for any tour pick ups eg. We had a quick turn around with an early arrival from an AM flight before a glacier tour and Leonel at the front desk made everything seamless. He got us all set up, provided us with a charging converter, gave us a great breakfast rec, and kept our bags while getting our room ready way ahead of time (obviously not a guarantee but very nice and just shows that this type of smaller hotel really goes to personal lengths to optimize your stay if they can). The room was very comfortable and in great condition, the grounds were absolutely lovely. I highly recommend this stay and can’t say enough positive things about Leo.

It is a small hotel with just about 10 rooms. It was quiet. People were very friendly and tried to satisfy all our demands.

The staff was great but the hotel needs to update linens and mattresses. They were rather old and stained.

Disliked: Cleanliness
The grounds and location are nice but the room should be cleaner. You could tell the room hadn’t been thoroughly cleaned in a long time. The sheets were very thin you could see the mattress underneath so thin I was worried it would tear. I found a lot of hair that wasn’t mine and the bathtub floor was slimy.

Excellent accommodation and friendly, helpful staff. Quiet, yet close to Main Street bars and restaurants
This was the perfect property to stay at during our visit to El Calafate. One block off the main road, so it is easy to walk to shops and restaurants. Loved how cozy this hotel was and the restaurant is excellent! Would stay here again.
LOVED this property and the staff!! Super code to the Main Street, walking distance to everything I needed. Only thing of note is that the bed was hard as a rock. Excellent stay!
Such a lovely place and one block away from main avenue in Calafate. Really... you cant miss anything with this choice... and the staff is also the best!!!.
loved this little hotel: clean, cozy, right off the main street, very friendly, helpful staff. Our favorite part was the delicious restaurant where we chose to eat 3 nights in a row!
A small and cozy Hosteria with friendly staff. Great service before/during our stay. Great location and a nice onsite restaurant also. We loved the courtyard and the separate sitting room with fireplace.
