What guests think
At Boutique Hotel La Cantera, travelers consistently praise the friendly, helpful staff, generous breakfasts, and panoramic lake views, while noting its hillside setting is a 10–20 minute walk from town with a limited-hours, paid shuttle available.
Rooms are generally comfortable and spacious with cozy ambience, but multiple reviews mention thin walls, occasional noise, dated bathrooms or fittings, and summer warmth due to minimal or no air conditioning and imperfect blackout curtains. Housekeeping and overall cleanliness receive frequent compliments, though a few guests reported maintenance issues and intermittent hot water. Best for those seeking a calm, characterful stay.

Beautiful hotel & lake view room overlooking the lovely town of Calafate. A great location for day trips to sights.!We were happy the double was actually a king bed.The front desk staff, Dario & Gabriella, we very helpful. The cleaning staff friendly.The breakfast was varied and a hot, made to order egg dish was available. Too many sweet baked goods for our tastes. Would have enjoyed better bread. There was a private car shuttle offered 7 m - 11 pm but not always available. The walk to town is 10 min but if you have joint problems or limitations in walking it is a difficult uphill hike & often VERY windy.

Breakfast included and pretty good. Personnel very attentive. Good size room although needs remodeling. Sometimes hot at bedtime ( we visited late December ). TV tired and with awful signal. Remote hardly worked. Had to climb once from the town below since their shuttle service begins at 7pm and taxis sometimes are nowhere to be found and it is quite a climb for older guests. However I must say they go out of their way to make you feel at home.

I stayed here based on the good reviews on Hotels.com. I was not disappointed. The breakfasts are excellent and include cooked to order eggs/omelets and they are well prepared. Everything else is self service. Their coffee is nice and strong. On the hotel description it shows “laundry facility“ which indicated to me that they have a laundry machine room that I could use. However, they only provide laundry service. The price is reasonable, but I prefer to do my own laundry. I recommended they update that description to state “laundry service“ instead. The most memorable part of my stay was the assistance at the front desk. They will exchange foreign currency for a very fair rate and they will book excursions for you, which was very helpful to me. If you want the best of view of the mountains at the distance, then book a “ superior room“ on the website. And finally, this hotel is located a few blocks south of Main Street. It is an easy walk downhill to town, but walking back uphill may be difficult for some. They do offer a reasonably priced shuttle service for several hours each night if you need one. I do recommend this hotel and I will stay here again.

Four/five long blocks to downtown, and I appreciated the walk to and from downtown area. Spacious, clean rooms! Bed was fine - not terrible, not that comfortable. No recycling option in the room or obviously in the property. Extremely limited options for vegan breakfast. Staff was v friendly, and very interested in when I would be out of my room.

I don’t understand how this is 4 star hotel. And I don’t understand how it can have a guest review above 8. But here we are. First the room is not maintained at all there are scratch marks all around the room. The hot water is only available for two minutes afterwards there is none. And if you tell the reception then they will just say you are wrong. I booked for two night, and could not stay for even one night. We just left to a different hotel. Do yourself a favor and book somewhere else

Staff extremely helpful with advice on local restaurants, weather and booking trips for us. Easy walk to and from town, but there is a shuttle car service in the evening for when the weather makes walking less appealing!

I cannot believe this property has an excellent rating. This was the worst experience ever. Unfortunately, we needed to find a room last minute and made the mistake to pick La Cantera based on the great reviews. To start with, the location is pretty bad. The hotel is up on a hill, surrounded by commercial warehouses. It’s only 6 blocks to downtown, but it’s not a nice walk and the hill is very steep. The description of the services stated a free shuttle to downtown. The shuttle is not free. It’s just 300 pesos, but still not free. Our room was not on the main building. We had a view on a back alley with pretty ugly houses. The room had a balcony, but there was no point going outside. Overall the hotel is worse than a Motel 6. But the worst part of the stay was the staff, especially the woman managing the front desk. She was just plain rude. Everything we asked for, was met with a “NO”. She did absolutely nothing to improve the experience. Do yourself a favor and stay at la Posada Los Alamos, which we discovered by walking around downtown. It is lovely, just a block from main street downtown where all the great restaurants are, same price.

Location
Set on a hill with scenic lake views, the hotel is about a 10–20 minute walk from the center; evening shuttles and taxis help with the uphill return. Several guests find the walk challenging or the location less convenient, while others appreciate the quiet.

Excellent view from the room and common/ breakfast area of the lake and mountains beyond. Comfortable, cosy room with great bathroom facilities. Staff extremely helpful with advice on local restaurants, weather and booking trips for us. Easy walk to and from town, but there is a shuttle car service in the evening for when the weather makes walking less appealing!

Great location overlooking the lake. Nice, friendly and welcoming staff. Delicious and abundant breakfast. Quiet area of town. I’d stay there again!

I stayed here based on the good reviews on Hotels.com. I was not disappointed. The breakfasts are excellent and include cooked to order eggs/omelets and they are well prepared. Everything else is self service. Their coffee is nice and strong. On the hotel description it shows “laundry facility“ which indicated to me that they have a laundry machine room that I could use. However, they only provide laundry service. The price is reasonable, but I prefer to do my own laundry. I recommended they update that description to state “laundry service“ instead. The most memorable part of my stay was the assistance at the front desk. They will exchange foreign currency for a very fair rate and they will book excursions for you, which was very helpful to me. If you want the best of view of the mountains at the distance, then book a “ superior room“ on the website. And finally, this hotel is located a few blocks south of Main Street. It is an easy walk downhill to town, but walking back uphill may be difficult for some. They do offer a reasonably priced shuttle service for several hours each night if you need one. I do recommend this hotel and I will stay here again.

The property was average. Breakfast was included and excellent. Dinner at hotel was good. The property is not walkable into the town, which is what we had hoped for. Though it’s only a two dollar taxi ride to and from town.

I enjoyed our stay. A ten minute walk from the main strip and they provided shuttle service back and forth at night for a very reasonable rate.

It is a nice hotel with breakfast included. It’s located a few blocks from the town’s center but it gives you nice views of lake Argentino.

Beautiful hotel & lake view room overlooking the lovely town of Calafate. A great location for day trips to sights.!We were happy the double was actually a king bed.The front desk staff, Dario & Gabriella, we very helpful. The cleaning staff friendly.The breakfast was varied and a hot, made to order egg dish was available. Too many sweet baked goods for our tastes. Would have enjoyed better bread. There was a private car shuttle offered 7 m - 11 pm but not always available. The walk to town is 10 min but if you have joint problems or limitations in walking it is a difficult uphill hike & often VERY windy.
