Estancia la Quinta

Overall a good stay. The Manager, Alfredo is helpful and has his sense of humour of going about things in terms of helping the guests, which is great to lighten up matters, but can be a hit or miss. What was Very Nice - good property, clean and supported by a courteous staff. Restaurant was great with some delicious food. Breakfast was good as well. Common room area especially the second floor offers a comfortable setting to relax and a great view as well. Manager was accessible to help us out with transportation arrangements when we were in town and needed to get back to the hotel. Manager did offer some tips and connects for things to do and see in El Chalten and El Calafate. Availability of parking for those with rental cars (most guest had a rental car, and we probably would get one for any future travel to El Chalten as the property is 3 km away from town) What needs a bit more attention - heating/cooling in the room being functional can help. The advertisement in the Trip Advisor says Wifi available, but the reality is that it is only in the common area. That clarification should be provided on the site. Availability of tea/coffee in rooms, or in a common area will help, as there are guests who do need it. Net-net, a good stay.

We stayed 3 nights in the Estancia. Alfredo at the réception was the the nicest host we came across during our 2 week tour in Argentina. The rooms are large and in a quiet environment some 1.5 kms from the main road. The breakfast was however probably the lightest we had during our tour. They offer lunch packets at US$ 18 pp, but it is recommended to buy bread at the panaderia and make your own sandwiches.

I have known Estancia La Quinta since 1983, when there was no Chalten settlement. Staying in the current hotel is a wonderful experience enjoying peace, beautiful views, excellent food and extremely friendly staff led by Patricia and Alfredo. It is better to rent a car in Calafat, because Chalten is 2 to 3 km away. I recommend Estancia La Quinta! Stane Klemenc mountain guide

Estancia La Quinta in El Chalten area is a beautiful and peaceful place, with very nice rooms, everything is very clean. Food is delicious and owners are very kind. Beautiful nature all around hotel. The place is 2 km away from the hustling and bustling city of Chalten, with a beautiful garden and a breathtaking view od the landscape from the living room in the first floor. If you need transport to/from Chalten, owners accommodate it. We stayed there 5 days, enjoyed the breakfast with home made yogurt, calafate jam etc., relaxed atmosphere after we returned from treks, and tasteful dinners. I would highly recommend.
