Hotels in El CalafateA rustic 3-star cabin and apartment complex near Lake Argentino
8.6/10
A strong self-catering base with helpful staff, but downtown takes some effort.
Solares Del Sur is a rustic 3-star cabin and apartment complex, rather than a conventional hotel. It’s a strong pick for travelers who want kitchen facilities, space and good value without fancy finishes. Recent Tripadvisor and Expedia guests repeatedly praise clean accommodation, helpful staff and breakfast trays delivered the evening before—particularly useful for early glacier excursions. The hotel’s Quidú restaurant adds an alternative to cooking, and many units overlook Lake Argentino.
The main compromise is location: guests report roughly 20–40 minutes on foot to the center, so a car or taxi makes evenings easier. Some cabins have upstairs bedrooms reached by tight stairs, and reception isn’t staffed around the clock. Comfort is generally well reviewed, though occasional recent comments flag tired bathroom fittings or basic linens. We’d skip it if central walkability or step-free access matters most.
