Property is in a beautiful location, but deserves a bit of renovation, and breakfast could be better. Staff is very nice and helpful.

Nice property. Very quiet area a mile from the town. Excellent staff!
David, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Stunning hotel in a beautiful location with some of the best hospitality I’ve ever experienced in my entire life. It is a bit out of town but if you’re willing to get a taxi and/or hike for 30-50 min it is absolutely worth it.

Outstanding

Premises as described, no complaints. Owner (Alfredo) provided outstanding service. Always ready to help. We liked the "retreat" ambiance.

Beautiful property a short distance outside of El Chalten (approx $10 taxi). Spectacular scenery!
Michael, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

overall good experience. Good dining room with great food options and breakfast service. Great common area with good view and comfort. Manager and owner (Alfredo) offered helpful advice on our logistical arrangements and hiking trail information. The wifi service was slow that did cause some hindrance. Overall, would recommend this place

El chapter la quinta

We could not check in. Reception was closed and we could not speak with any by phone. We stayed in a hostel instead. Very angry we got walked at midnight

Love this place . Staying on the ranch is already a vacation. I can stay at the hotel the whole day. Me and my Bf hang out in their saloon with some comfy chairs and couch and good wi fi . Alfredo is the best host , very kind , hospitable as well as the rest of the staff . Very close to el chalten and even some hiking trail . It feels like home . We already plan to our next trip in El chalten and will stay in this very beautiful place . It’s paradise!!!

6/10 Good

This is in a lovely setting by the mountains but please be aware that it is REMOTE! It is 2 miles from town on an unlit rocky road. There is not a free shuttle as indicated and it can be very difficult to find a taxi. I would recommend staying here only if you have your own vehicle. Otherwise it is comfortable and peaceful.

Best stay in El Chaltén

We spent 9 nights at this property, truly our home away from home. This historical estancia has been operated by the same family for 120 years. The owners are welcoming and will make sure to share tips about hikes and other things to do. A couple of hikes can be done right from the estancia. While it is more convenient to have a vehicle, it is possible to walk to town and enjoy great vistas at the same time. Alfredo speaks good English and so does Abril, their charming front desk clerk and restaurant hostess. The restaurant has a limited menu, but the food is excellent. The cold breakfast has a wide variety, including home made cookies and calafate berries on occasions. Rooms do not have wifi, but there is connection in the common areas with comfortable chairs and couches. Daily house keeping is done. There is also an entertaining greeting committee made up of a couple of horses, cows and calves who constantly roam the property to keep that lawn short. This place is like a green oasis in comparison to windy-dusty El Chaltén. We drank tap water the whole time and no issue.

Excellent

Overall I liked my staying at this place. The owners and the staff were very nice and friendly. The owner gave me a ride to the town and back several times. The surrounding is pastoral. The beakfasts were good. I liked the selection of jams. The dinners were very good too and the price of the dinners was fair relatively to the overpriced restaurants you find in El Chaltén. The only negative point is the lack of wifi inside the rooms. Eventually I got used to that. I read a book when I stayed at the room instead of endless surfing the internet. The 2nd downside is the remoteness of the place. If you don't have a car like me, you'll need to pay 6,000 pesos for the taxi or I ask the owner if he can give you a ride. I walked few times to the town and back. It's quite a hike, not for everyone.

Le seul lieu authentique et de charme à l’écart d’El Chalten. Accueil chaleureux, restauration de qualité. Magique.
Edy, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Family-owned, this is a working ranch with comfortable, clean, and spacious rooms. The owner is charming and extremely helpful in his knowledge of the entire area. The property is convenient to El Chalten and all the trails, and is much better than staying in the town itself. Breakfast abundant and delicious. Dinners served in the on-site restaurant are also excellent. I couldn't more highly recommend a stay at Estrancia!

Eindrucksvolle, über 100 Jahre alte Estancia! Moderne Einrichtung und ausgezeichnetes Restaurant!
Jörg, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Beautiful location. Very peaceful and quiet. Site says free shuttle to town, but it’s the owner who will take you, though there isn’t any structured service.. so you may have to take a Taxi—order it in advance as it may take up to 30 min to arrive since you are in a small town. Breakfast is all right. Some cheese, packaged ham slices, and salami... there was a nice homemade yogurt... rooms are very clean and beautiful. A fun experience feeding the calves milk. They have a lot of good information in the lobby about the weather for the day for when you go hiking. WiFi only in common areas, not rooms. Also the power will go out from midnight or so till 0530 AM

2/10 Poor

Staff wanted to charge more of us claiming that we could only stay with one person in each room. Then I showed them the reservation that said that we also had booked for a child in each room. Then they said that the maximum age of each cold should be two years old. I disagreed firmly, and showed them the ages of the children in the reservation and also said that I had prepaid the stay. Only then they gave up charging more. Food was not good. Breakfast was served in dirty tables. They did not even took away the dirty plates of prior guests.

Great hotel/hostel is/estacio. Alfredo and his family team went out of their way to ensure I got as much as possible from my trip. Advice on the numerous treks, lifts to and from town, great on site restaurant. Many thanks
