A Nice Respite from Travel
Cute, cozy, comfortable, quiet. A nice place to stay after a couple of days of air travel. Very convenient to "downtown" El Calafate for walking, snooping, and grabbing a bite to eat. The courtyard area was a nice place to hang out. Enjoyed the dining area too. Breakfast was basic and simple but good.

Quiet hotel in a convenient area
The hotel is very conveniently located one street away from the Main Street, and yet it is very quiet, which we enjoyed. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. The bathrooms could be a little cleaner though, and the breakfast options more varied. Nonetheless it is a good place to stay. We had a rental car and could easily park it on the street for free, right in front of the hotel.

This was the perfect property to stay at during our visit to El Calafate. One block off the main road, so it is easy to walk to shops and restaurants. Loved how cozy this hotel was and the restaurant is excellent! Would stay here again.

Great staff and location. Room not.
The staff is the best thing going here as is the location. My room had plaster coming off the wall and pretty cruddy grout in the bath. There is no AC, no tv, no safe, no kleenex which is a problem if you have allergies. One towel per person, modest breakfast (eggs are an upcharge) but a great dinner menu and service with live music. Again, great staff and location.

A little gem in El Calafate; nicest staff ever
We were delighted with Kau Kaleshen. It's a sweet little haven in busy El Calafate. The courtyard is lovely, with large birds walking around and the world's best hotel cat lounging around. Our room was not large but was comfortable and perfect for our needs and there were other spaces for us to enjoy in the courtyard, out front, and in the community living area. Allie, Franco, and Lionel were so helpful in answering all our questions and helping us to arrange transportation, even on a busy holiday. I'm so pleased to leave a 5-star review. We look forward to returning some day!

Overall this accommodation is a decent place to rest your head for the night. The rooms are decent. Not many thrills or frills. The breakfast was limited but not bad. The front desk staff were really nice. Parking would be outside the property.

A small and cozy Hosteria with friendly staff. Great service before/during our stay. Great location and a nice onsite restaurant also. We loved the courtyard and the separate sitting room with fireplace.
