Estancia La Quinta

I was very happy and satisfied to discover this splendid hotel nestled in the relaxing nature of the El Chalten countryside. My room was truly very comfortable, spacious, and clean, equipped with everything you need and a bathroom with a large bathtub. Directly from the hotel, you can follow the trail that leads to the Mirador de Las Aquilas e de Los Condores. The town center is about 4 km away and can be reached on foot or by booking a transfer. The breakfasts are excellent and rich in choice, with genuine ingredients and fruits directly from the property's countryside. The hotel restaurant, right next to the entrance, is truly welcoming and characteristic, offering a varied menu with many delicacies. On the first evening, I ordered an empanada de Cordero and a ribeye steak with roasted potatoes, accompanied by a glass of Malbec red wine. On the second evening, I opted for a smocked guanaco followed by a dish of trout with oranje sauce. Everything was truly excellent and delicious! I also booked a truly generous lunch box full of delicacies for my Fitz Roy excursion. At reception, you can purchase a lovely variety of local products, such as perfumes and teas. Finally, I wanted to thank the very kind owner, Alfredo, who welcomed me warmly upon my arrival and made me feel at home, providing me with directions for excursions and helping me with transportation (thanks also so much for the car ride back from my excursion on the first day). I also thank the reception and restaurant staff, who were always very kind and provided me with information and suggestions. I absolutely recommend an experience here if you're looking for a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere away from the noise of the city. I would definitely like to return to El Chalten one day, perhaps with more days to spare, and of course, to stay here again at Hosteria Estancia La Quinta!

The location and the hotel are beautiful a few miles out of El Chalten and it's restraunts and cafes. We were warmly welcomed and given information about the area and things to do. The staff were very pleasant. We had a gf room with a view of the garden and mountains. We used the laundry service. As others have said the bedroom and bathroom were outdated and the bedroom wasn't as clean as I would expect. The curtains/blinds were tatty. The furniture was shabby. Blankets and sheets on the beds and only one pillow, nowhere to sit. The cleaner started vacuuming outside our room before 8am (Sunday) and woke us up. The breakfast was very poor, we had let the hotel know through the booking agent about our dietary needs and there was very little choice. I had bread and jam and black tea. My husband had rice crackers with his half hard boiled egg and slice of cheese, the fruit was from tins. We got back to our room to find that the cleaner had let herself in even though we hadn't gone out for the day. She had reorganised our belongings and moved furniture, thrown away perfectly good soap. We got back 9 hours later to find she hadn't vacuumed the carpet or got rid of spiders and webs. The carpet was marked in places and there were dirty marks on the walls. There is a ban on taking tea and coffee to rooms, and nowhere to buy or make a hot drink. No bar or room service. Definitely overpriced.

About 5 minutes drive outside the city absolutely quiet hotel with beautiful garden and prime panorama. Founded by Norwegian expatriates for over 100 years, the farm offers several quite simply furnished but very comfortable and clean rooms with comfortable beds and good bathrooms. In the house good wifi, bar and nice seating with panoramic views upstairs. Breakfast is not outstanding but quite ok, lunch boxes for the hikes are available on order. Right next to the main house very cozy restaurant, serves meat from the own animal husbandry but also fish, everything comes super delicious on the plate. Considering the very friendly and helpful (many tips for activities in the area) as well as the moderate prices an absolute recommendation!
