Good but not great. Unfortunately a lot of properties in El Calafate probably fall into this category. It’s a short season in a tourist town and they jack up rates to compensate. Rooms not as good as they once were and the location is not ideal. However it’s pretty good, but the price is a bit steep - note that I paid around ISD150 per night for reference.

Great value and service
The hotel was convenient walking distance to restaurants, bars and retail. The hotel restaurant was extremely good and we highly recommend making reservations here. The quality of the food was amazing. The baked goods at breakfast are a must! The hotel offers money exchange which is extremely helpful as currently you can only take out 30,000 pesos from ATM or roughly 35USD.

The property has a beautiful view and is well located if you don't mind staying a 15min walk to town -- although property offers a ride service to main shops/ dining street for a small fee. Rooms are spacious and cozy, bed is comfortable and overall stay was peaceful. The shower area was the only thing that could use a little updating but overall no complaints as water pressure was very good. Staff was also super helpful, and breakfast had a large variety of options. Would highly recommend this place and will be staying again whenever I return to El Calafate.

A Quintessential Experience for my group
Returning for my fourth visit to Patagonia with my groups of travelers, La Cantera Boutique hotel continues to impress with its irresistible charm and exceptional service. The cozy rooms offer a perfect retreat, while the front desk staff ensures a friendly, smooth, and efficient check-in process. The breakfasts are delightful, and the panoramic views add to the overall allure of this charming hotel. With each stay, this hotel reaffirms its status as a quintessential destination for a memorable getaway! Thanks for taking care of us, and see you next year! :)

This place is a few blocks up the hill from the main drag and a nice walk. Rooms have a great deck and mini bar has cold beer. Bring out a couple of chairs and have a sit. Ibises poked around in the grass and we could kinda see the water. Lovely breakfast service. This would be a cool place to come with a group of friends, and a romantic place for a couple.

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

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.

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.
