we 26 of us stayed in this hostel for 3 nights. It deserves praise where it is due but not where it offers bad service. The location by the side of Lake Argentino and view is superb. It will calm all resless minds. Ideal place for peace tranquility and contemplation. However the accommodation is basic, no hint of any luxury.... More

We stayed here for 3 nights during a trip around Argentina and I only wish we'd stayed longer! Hosteria La Estepa was a true highlight of our adventure - Augustina was so, so, so lovely. I was teary-eyed when we left, as she had been so delightful, friendly & kind. It was like leaving an old friend! We were taken... More

We had received a recommendation for La Estepa from a colleague who had recently stayed, and were delighted to discover that it not only met, but exceeded our expectations. The hotel itself is spacious, light, beautifully decorated, and offers an interrupted view of the Largo Argentino (so you can fully enjoy breathtaking sunrises, sunsets, and the moon reflected over the...

The hotel is just out of town; as it happens there was a big festival in town when we were there, so this was a bonus. But even with no festivals around, the location is super, with an uninterrupted view of the lake from every room and from the restaurant. The hotel is nicely built and the reception areas are...

We have just returned from a six week vacation in Patagonia and without doubt La Estepa in El Calafate was the best accommodation of the whole trip. The reasons we wish to recommend it so highly are: 1) Our hosts, Augustina and Mercedes, gave us such a warm welcome on arrival that it was as if we were returning family... More

Having looked at lots of hotels in Calafate online and all the reviews I'd come to the conclusion that they were much of a muchness so booked this one as it was a bit out of town and closer to the national park. We were so surprised at how much we loved this place as we were prepared for it... More

We had such a great 5 day stay here. The staff are amazing and you really do feel sad when you leave. The food is delicious - we had breakfast everyday (included) and dinner several times. The best part is sipping dry white wine while looking at the lake and watching the sun go down. We chose it because its... More

A lovely hosteria with an excellent service. The place makes you fell at home. Its a little bit from downtown, so you will spend around $50 pesos argentinos to get to downtown. Has a great view to the lake.

My wife and I spent 3 nights in Hosteria La Estepa. It's a lovely, warm, welcoming hotel 3 or 4 km outside of El Calafate proper. It is perched on a hill overlooking Lago Argentino. While relatively large (compared to other hotels in the area), it has managed to preserve a sense of warmth and friendliness that is very pleasant.... More
