I stayed in hotel at the beginning of March for 1 night and the weather was so extraordinary beautifull, that staff even decided to put on "asado". It was the best one I had during my entire 6-weeks stay in South America! Also, form the beginning the staff was very welcoming, room nice, and breakfast very enjoyable - with view... More

We stayed here for 2 nights, and would have been happy to stay longer. We were given a warm welcome, and were able to order some beers to drink in the lounge. The lounge has sofas, a bookcase, and a laptop set up on a table for guests' use. The room was very comfortable, with a bay window which allowed... More

If you are looking for a home in Patagonia, book a room in Cauquenes de Nimez. Perfect location close to the Argentinian Lake, birds sanctuary just in proximity, walking distance from the city centre. The master and mistress of the house very hearty and helpful

We stayed 4 nights in this hotel. Not everything was perfect. The rooms aren’t big, there is only one slow toaster for the whole breakfast room. But: staff and Juana in particular made our stay very personal and almost as ‘home’. We stayed in several hotels in Argentina but in none of them we felt as welcome as in Cauquenes... More

This was the perfect place for our needs in Patagonia during the summer season. Centrally located a couple of blocks north of the main street, the B&B is also close to the lakeside nature reserve, which invites for strolls in the morning or evening if you have a spare hour or two. The rooms are clean and functional and meet... More

We spent a few nights here on our trip in Argentina, the people were very welcoming, friendly and helpful. The room was very comfortable. The setting was lovely, over looking the lake and it was very peaceful, well apart from the wind we had on one day, but that was not down to the hotel! A short walk into town... More

I love this place,the location, the view over the lake and flamingos, the food and the staff - everything creates an amazing atmosphere. I wish I could stay longer. I did not want to leave El Calafate. This place is highly recommended you will not regret staying at Cauquenes de Nimez.

Hotel gives a very cosy feeling. The view from the lounge/restaurant on the Lago Argentino is great, less so from the rooms. Pretty tiny rooms with somewhat rickety furniture. A nice touch is the offer of free afternoon tea with cakes. Because of the addition of spices to the tea, a great taste is obtained. Very friendly and helpfull staff.... More
