Many highlight friendly, helpful staff, though a few report rudeness, strict checkout or check-in delays, and occasional billing problems.

Cleanliness is generally good, but recurring maintenance issues—especially bathroom fixtures and very hot or fluctuating shower water—are mentioned. Expect a no-frills stay in a prime location.

Achei a funcionaria que trabalha no café da manhã um pouco rude. A localização é muito boa, tem estacionamento e o café da manhã é bom. O quarto é espaçoso, porém nos colocaram 2 camas de solteiro juntas, ao invés de uma cama de casal.

Simple, clean property but over rated & very overpriced for a 3* motel. Good Location: only 1-2 block walk to main street & parks. Simple basic breakfast. There was No conditioner nor tissues in the room. Room Safe did not work. Outdoor Garden area with plastic Adirondack Chairs & tables. This is not an accessible property; many steps to reception/restaurant. On site parking.

We had a wonderdul stay and the staff were hardworking and went above and beyond to helpnus.

Great location and friendly enough staff, but the bathrooms are barely serviceable and the place is so noisy. All of the doors are hollow and you can hear every conversation, door open and slam close. Also A/C and ground floor windows open mean anyone could climb in. You might save a few bucks, but you won’t sleep at all.

This hotel was a scam. We felt extremely unsafe ending up with hotels.com stuff suggesting us to call the police and leave. Team was rude, lied to us on shortening out stay and was intimidating throughout our entire stay - especially the reservation center. The hotel also decided to charge 4 more nights after we left for no reason, telling us its hotels.com problem. Hotels.com explained it’s just Hotel Kalken taking our money and refusing to answer them for weeks. I would do everything to avoid Hotel Kalken at any cost.

The property is well located in the downtown of El Calafate My bedroom was not ready at the time of the check in. The property needs some updates as the mattresses are old, pillows, the bedding sheets, blankets... and some of the staff are rude, especially the guy who was at the front desk on Sunday morning.

Het hotel ligt zeer centraal, wij vinden dat ze wel hadden moeten vermelden dat er een festival in El Calafate was, en dat het festivalterrein maar op enkele tientallen meters van het hotel lag. Je kon dus niet vroeg gaan slapen en dat is vervelend als je om 7.15 uur word opgehaald voor een excursie, of als je om 7.20 uur op het vliegveld moet zijn
