We certainly enjoyed our stay at the Kosten! They helped us book a new flight when we missed one, gave us an upgrade after we had to combat a demonstration at the border. There manager was very helpful as well as the cute young guys at the desk! They had a great little gift shop there too! Would definitely stay... More

The hotel has an excellent location. The rooms are very comfortable, big and very clean. The staff is very helpful. The best breakfast that I had in my 30 days traveling in Patagonia. If you are traveling by car, the hotel has a secure parking lot. I was going to stay for two nights and finish staying for four days.... More

This hotel has an Alpine ski lodge sort of decor...lots of timber and very spacious public areas. The rooms are large and comfortable, in the same Julie Andrews Sound of Music decor, with comfortable bedding. There are a few spacious lounge and bar areas and a games room. The staff are generally pleasant enough, but not outstanding. I expected something... More

This hotel is right downtown, three blocks off the "main" strip. Most other hotels are located just outside of town, but after being there with friends and family I think we would have been disappointed with any other option. Make sure you understand exactly how far your hotel is away before you make the reservations - it was great to... More

We were a little concerned about staying at the Kosten Aike because of some of the negative comments we saw on Trip Advisor. We found the hotel to be one of our favorites. Our room, overlooking the small park, was quiet, well lit, and spotless. Breakfasts were good and the coffee was great. We ate in the restaurant and the... More

Kosten Aike is a great place to stay in El Calafate. It is in town, so you can walk everywhere, but on a side street so it is relatively quiet. The rooms and bathrooms were very clean and spacious. The restaurant is good for breakfast and dinner and the staff is very attentive. They have a great spa upstairs, but... More

A very busy hotel with multiple tour groups staying. The lobby was often busy with people waiting for excursions, and it was sometimes hard to find a seat in the breakfast room (though turnover is quick). Service was fine, if not particularly warm. We saw lots of people with welcome drinks but were never offered one ourselves. Room was large... More
