Hotel Kapenke, hotel in El Calafate

Kapenke hotel is very well located, waling distance to many restaurants and stores downtown. The touristic locations are a bit far, which means you should book transportation/transfer with the tour you booked or rent a car/taxi. Staff was super friendly, we were able to leave our luggage in the front desk before check in and after check out. They also offer a bathroom while we don't have access to the room. Wifi worked pretty well, we were able to watch movies on streamings and book all the tours we went on. We packed snacks for the trails and, even though the rooms didn't have fridges, the staff offered us to leave our food in the bar fridge. They tagged everything so it didn't get mixed up with other peoples stuff, and were available 24/7 do we could pick stuff up at the front desk.

FAQ about holiday homes in El Calafate







Patagonia's Glacier Paradise

El Calafate is a small city in Argentinean Patagonia, situated in the foothills of the Andes and on the shores of Argentino Lake. Blending colourful wooden houses and Alpine-influenced architecture, it is the gateway to the Glaciers National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Booking.com offers a wide range of accommodation in El Calafate and surroundings, from 5-star hotels to cheap hostels.

The area was originally inhabited by the ‘Aonikenk’ people, while the modern settlement grew at the beginning of the 20th century as a refuge along the wool trade route, taking its name from the native blueberry bush known as ‘Calafate’. The town was founded by the Argentinean government in 1927 to promote the colonisation of the area, but its development started only after the creation of the National Park, in 1937.

The famous Perito Moreno Glacier is 80 km from the city. Mount Fitz Roy, the small town of El Chaltén, the romantic Onelli Bay, Lago del Desierto, and Roca Lake are some of the impressive landmarks that make up Argentina‘s 2nd-largest natural reservation. If you want to experience Patagonia’s languid vastness and tranquillity, try some of El Calafate’s rural accommodation or ‘estancias’.

    The personnel at the hotel was tremendously helpful.

    The personnel at the hotel was tremendously helpful. They helped me in a difficult situation where I had to buy airline tickets on an emergency basis. They helped organize an excursion, a trip to Perito Moreno and to organize transportation for my group of 13 to and from the airport. My room was beautiful; in fact, all of our rooms were wonderful. This is a quiet place.

    The only thing to really do is visit the glacier.

    The only thing to really do is visit the glacier. I thought we could do more to make an extra day worthwhile but the tours to visit the other parts of the park were super expensive. All tours in the area were way too pricey and you can’t really do anything else without a tour. The restaurants are good, but in general I think Chaltén has a lot more to do and see.

    El Calafate is the place to be for visiting the famous Perito Moreno Glacier. We did the Big Ice Adventure with Hiele Aventura and it was amazing. The town itself is fine but very touristy. The waffle café elba'r and the Patagonia Brewery were the best places we went to eat and drink. The Glaciarium was interesting, a very text-heavy museum, lots to read. We went to the Ice Bar there too, however I'd already been to the same concept in another city - if you've been to one, you've been to them all.

    Really well located hostel in El Calafate. Extremely helpful staff who spoke good English and were able to help us with booking a bus to Perito Moreno Glacier, telling us where we could get our laundry done, and booking us a taxi to the bus station. The facilities were great - lots of large shared common areas and a well equipped kitchen. Breakfast was delicious and served from early on so perfect for getting out and about for hiking/tours etc. Perfect place to stay in El Calafate - would highly recommend!

    Pretty good wifi - I was able to work remotely and hop on video calls with multiple participants, and access iCloud and keynote. At times, I would get a notice that my connection was unstable, so videos would automatically turn off. But I think this would be one of the best places to work from in El Calafate. The location is excellent, and the family who runs the hotel is very kind and helpful. I had a wonderful time. The kitchen in my unit was also well stocked with a pan, pot, salt and utensils.

    Perfect location next to the city center, and walkable distance to the Nimez natural park on the coast of the lake. The hotel a bit old, but very comfortable, and the stuff very friendly. The breakfast is typical for Argentina, lots of sweet staff, cheese and ham, not my favorite, but I guess that is the standard. The fruit salad great. There is a hairdryer, but no electric kettle to boil some water.

    The hotel has a really beautiful garden and the hosts were very nice. The hotel is not in the central area but it is only a short drive to the downtown so it's not an issue for us at all. The breakfast was also great. I wish we could've stayed here a little longer. The hosts spoke very little English, but with google translate, this wasn't a big issue. Rooms are small but cozy.
