Rather dated hotel, basic room, good views, parking available and a short walk to the town.
Not the best hotel, seemed to be popular with tour groups. Breakfast ok but not a great variety of healthy options.

The staff were consistently great. The hotel is a short walk from the center of town and it seems that it’s on the route for the major tours to perform their pick ups.

Hotel Picos del Sur offers a fairly convenient location, just a 10-minute walk from the main street of El Calafate. The rooms are clean, though the amenities are somewhat below average, and the bed is decent for a comfortable night’s rest. Breakfast is an average continental selection, enough to start the day. There’s a small sit-up bar and a restaurant on-site, though the menu is quite limited. Check-out is at 10 a.m. The property also features a nice patio area with a great view over the grounds. Staff are friendly, and overall the hotel offers pretty good value for the price.

The hotel was very nice. There was a patio and a large green space. The continental breakfast was good and started early enough, so one could eat before any tours. There was a restaurant on site and it was a short walk to main street, restaurants and supermarket. Very good stay.

This property was very clean and had friendly staff. The bed was comfortable. It was walking distance from restaurants and shops. Only negative, the heat in the hallway so hot it made our room hot. We slept with an open window each night.

I had a great stay at this hotel. It is not right in the middle of town but also not an overly long walk - plus it was quiet and on a lovely piece of property. The room was nothing fancy but clean and quite large. Bed was fine. The young man at the desk was extremely helpful and friendly. I would stay here again.
