At Kau Kaleshen, travellers highlight a charming, cozy stay with exceptionally friendly staff and a central, walkable location one block from the main avenue, while noting that rooms can feel basic with thin walls and very firm beds.
Many appreciate the quiet courtyard and an on-site restaurant that earns strong praise. Breakfast is commonly described as simple with limited variety and occasional restocking delays. Some guests report maintenance issues like poor shower drainage, water damage, or inconsistent hot water, and Wi-Fi can be slow. Expect a charming, simple base near downtown suited to sightseeing days.

Disappointed overall. The most noisy of all properties. They're renovating but will not block rooms, we had no choice but to put up with the noise thorough out. The breakfast was the same, cold and same throughout. No hot water in the shower. Just not a good stay, rather be elsewhere

Cute, cozy, comfortable, quiet. A nice place to stay after a couple of days of air travel. Very convenient to "downtown" El Calafate for walking, snooping, and grabbing a bite to eat. The courtyard area was a nice place to hang out. Enjoyed the dining area too. Breakfast was basic and simple but good.

The hotel is very conveniently located one street away from the Main Street, and yet it is very quiet, which we enjoyed. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. The bathrooms could be a little cleaner though, and the breakfast options more varied. Nonetheless it is a good place to stay. We had a rental car and could easily park it on the street for free, right in front of the hotel.

Petit hôtel plein de charme, un peu vieillot mais très fonctionnel, calme et propre. Idéalement situé, à quelques minutes à pied de la rue principale. Restaurant sur place et plusieurs options à proximité. Le personnel de la réception était aux petits soins — mention spéciale à Nachos, qui m’a beaucoup aidé lors d’un petit imprévu. Excellents conseils sur les activités à faire dans la région.

This hotel has a great potential. Pro: Prime location. About 30 mins walk from the bus terminal. 15 mins walk to lake nimez. Beautiful property with a courtyard. Friendly staff and very helpful. Clean and comfortable bed. Provided 2 firmness of pillow. Con: Drain at the shower didn’t work properly. Water at the shower raised to the level of the back of my feet within 30 sec( when I was testing the right temperature for the shower) I reported it to the staff after the first night and I saw him brought a repairman to tried to fix it but during my 3 nights there. The problem didn’t resolve. Walls between rooms are extremely thin that you can easily hear the whole conversation from the next room. I would highly recommend to bring your ear plugs. Breakfast was very basic which I think they could still keep the cost down by simply displaying the limited options better. (Buffet style) Had a hard time finding a clean table for breakfast if I come at the later time (8:30am-9am) Would love to stay here again if they could fix those issues. (Especially the shower)

Pass. It’s definitely a cute concept and very pretty on the outside. However… The rooms are so run down and pretty bad. My room had a toilet that never stopped running. I let front desk know and their solution was for me to open the top and pull up the lever each time I flushed. The next day, they said it was fixed. It wasn’t. I actually think they did not really send someone to fix it. The shower doesn’t drain while you are showering. I had water higher than my ankles, gross. I had to wash my feet in the bathroom sink after my shower. The shower also had a lot of mold. The towels are course and thin. There were SEVERAL parts of the wall of the room where the paint had lifted. The key is an old school skeleton key which was very pretty but huge and not practical. I would have liked an interior lock on the door, even though I know El Calafate is an extremely safe place. The breakfast was not fresh. I could not bring myself to eat the breakfast. The young lady at breakfast had such a bad attitude at all times. The front desk attendants were very, very nice and helpful. There are beautiful gardens all around the hotel. The hotel is in a prime location, walkable to some many stores and restaurants. We rented a car and parking was free and easy.

Nice hotel with a nice courtyard. The people at the front desk were very friendly and knowledgeable on activities to do in the area. Room was very nice overlooking the courtyard. Bed was comfortable and room was clean. Shower had really nice hot water and was really refreshing. Wi-Fi is good at best and at times not so responsive and may be a regional issue. I thought breakfast was plentiful and. excellent: strong coffee, delicious cereal, fresh fruits, orange juice, baked items, and some delicious cheese.

Staff was wonderful. Room not so much. It was like roughing it in a small cabin. Room was TINY. Plumbing was difficult. They want to be environmentally friendly and ask about washing your towels daily but then every faucet in the place leaks, and badly. Only one trash can. Sheets were like sandpaper and didn't even cover the length of the bed. Breakfast was tiny and not well looked after. When I went there was one pat of butter and two glasses for juice left. Coffee ran out soon after and wasn't replaced for at least 15 minutes. Also there is a problem with wild dogs in El Calafate and there was a pack near the hotel. They barked all night every night. I would never stay here again. I would rather stay at a hostel.

We were delighted with Kau Kaleshen. It's a sweet little haven in busy El Calafate. The courtyard is lovely, with large birds walking around and the world's best hotel cat lounging around. Our room was not large but was comfortable and perfect for our needs and there were other spaces for us to enjoy in the courtyard, out front, and in the community living area. Allie, Franco, and Lionel were so helpful in answering all our questions and helping us to arrange transportation, even on a busy holiday. I'm so pleased to leave a 5-star review. We look forward to returning some day!

We travelled to Calafate in a family plan for four adults, my two daughters over 40, and my closest friend - like sister- and me, over 70. We were celebrating the three of them BDs, past in February and April, and late May for one of them. The place was amazing, cute, very convenient location, one block apart of the Main avenue of this small town. Even if it was out of peak season, the guys from the front desk, were super attentive to all our questions, gave us excellent tips and recommendations for places to have lunch or dinner or things to do. They prepared for us the breakfast that we could take in a very cozy room with fire place, armchairs, small tables, books to read and with a wide window to the garden, great in fall colors. Thank you guys! Lionel y Franco! We know now where to go when we come back to Calafate!

Cute, cozy, comfortable, quiet. A nice place to stay after a couple of days of air travel. Very convenient to "downtown" El Calafate for walking, snooping, and grabbing a bite to eat. The courtyard area was a nice place to hang out. Enjoyed the dining area too. Breakfast was basic and simple but good.

Los cuartos bien equipados. Desayuno rico y abundante. Personal súper amable. Está a una cuadra de la calle central y los restaurantes, lo que lo hace muy conveniente.

The hotel is very conveniently located one street away from the Main Street, and yet it is very quiet, which we enjoyed. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. The bathrooms could be a little cleaner though, and the breakfast options more varied. Nonetheless it is a good place to stay. We had a rental car and could easily park it on the street for free, right in front of the hotel.

Petit hôtel plein de charme, un peu vieillot mais très fonctionnel, calme et propre. Idéalement situé, à quelques minutes à pied de la rue principale. Restaurant sur place et plusieurs options à proximité. Le personnel de la réception était aux petits soins — mention spéciale à Nachos, qui m’a beaucoup aidé lors d’un petit imprévu. Excellents conseils sur les activités à faire dans la région.

Bem boa a estadia aqui. Ótima localização, uma rua atrás da principal. Porém na própria rua do hotel tem restaurantes legais e fora do radar. Quarto amplo sem carpete. Têm tomadas e lugares pra pendurar a roupa e apoio pra abrir a mala. Cama e travesseiro muito confortáveis. Banheiro com amenities. Um ponto a melhorar seria consertarem o teto do quarto 4 por causa da umidade. O barulho do bater das portas sempre vai depender da educação dos hóspedes, mas um ponto a melhorar seria colocarem emborrachamento nas laterais pra evitar o incômodo nas primeiras horas do dia. Pra mim tranquilo pois servia de despertador, porém outras pessoas podem querer dormir até mais tarde. Café da manhã achei bem simples, o que dá pro gasto antes de sair pra algum passeio.

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.

Staff was wonderful. Room not so much. It was like roughing it in a small cabin. Room was TINY. Plumbing was difficult. They want to be environmentally friendly and ask about washing your towels daily but then every faucet in the place leaks, and badly. Only one trash can. Sheets were like sandpaper and didn't even cover the length of the bed. Breakfast was tiny and not well looked after. When I went there was one pat of butter and two glasses for juice left. Coffee ran out soon after and wasn't replaced for at least 15 minutes. Also there is a problem with wild dogs in El Calafate and there was a pack near the hotel. They barked all night every night. I would never stay here again. I would rather stay at a hostel.

Average experience due to bugs in room/smell from heater? Breakfast is a very small selection and not great for preparing for all day excursions. Staff is incredibly warm, friendly, and helpful. Location is good

Funcionários muito prestativos e simpáticos. Localização excelente. Próximo a mercado, restaurantes, lavanderia. Pontos negativos: café da manhã, muito fraco. Poderiam oferecer mais variedades de pães e poderiam oferecer iogurtes. Caldeira apresentou problemas durante 3 dias, o que deixava a água morna.

We had a lovely time at the hotel. The location was great and very convenient. The staff was super helpful and friendly. Our room was neat but a little dated. The only drawback was there were very few outlets that we could use to charge devices. We really enjoyed it and would stay here again!

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.
