Kau Si Aike

This is a charming and peaceful retreat nestled in the heart of Patagonia. The family-run establishment exudes warmth and hospitality, making it an ideal base for exploring the breathtaking surroundings. The sleek design with its wood and glass elements blends beautifully with the Patagonian landscape. It's clear they've put thought into creating a luxurious basecamp for hikers and outdoor enthusiasts. However, given the spartan vibe it comes with, the price we paid for it seemed way too steep! But I believe that is understandable given the season we visited it in. LOCATION:The location is absolutely perfect - just at the edge of town with unobstructed views of Mount Fitz Roy and Cerro Torre. I loved being able to start my hikes directly from the hotel, yet still being close enough to walk to restaurants and shops in the center of El Chaltén within 5-10 minutes. DINE + DRINK: The breakfast spread was impressive with high-quality local ingredients - fresh pastries, eggs made to order, and excellent coffee. Though they dont have a full on bar, the outside lawn area is cozy and perfect for unwinding after a day of hiking, and comes with million dollar views of the mountains ROOM: We stayed in Room on the first floor, so this review is based on that; SIZE: Spacious enough for 2 adults and simple baggage; VIEW: View of the street and mountains from the sitout attached to the Room ; AIR-CON: No Air conditioner, but the room got cool enough in the night; BED: Comfortable bed that played the expected part of putting us to sleep; BATHROOM:Good sized bathroom with a Stand-in shower; TOILETRIES: Good spa quality toiletries FACILITIES: No Gym or pool on site, pure mountain chill! SERVICE: Friendly staff that cared for all our needs with a smile and made us feel pampered and well taken care of. Special Shout-out to the hosts who took care of us like family! HOW WIRED YOU WILL BE: Free Wi-Fi that works well all over the property, and the speed is good! No TV in the room.

Great place to stay in El Chalten. Very nice owners, helpful and friendly. Clean rooms. Recommend a top floor (second floor) room; in the main floor rooms, you can hear people walking around above and can be quite noisy. Good location, near the bus station and main street. Breakfast includes homemade pastries and jam. Definitely recommended.

We had a very nice stay at this inn. The location is central to the bus station and downtown, the rooms were clean, comfortable and had a newer bathroom. We also appreciated the hot water kettle and mini fridge. The breakfast was very good and the staff friendly, helpful and with good recommendations for dining.

The reception area is very bland and uninviting. Our room was a twin room up the stairs (difficult with luggage). The room size was good, and there was a large fridge. However, the beds are so small both in length and width that we did not sleep very well. The breakfast is very limited, and on our last day, we had to leave early and therefore have breakfast before 8 am. That meant that we only got some bread. There might have been a bar next to it once upon a time. But now it is just an empty/abandoned place. The location is good.

The most comfortable stay I've had during my entire trip through Argentina...and it was in the middle of the mountains!! Bed was very comfortable, there is a mini fridge, the reception area is nice and they let you sit there during morning/day (not at night because it's also the family restaurant). Quiet at night. If you start hiking before their provided breakfast at 8am, they will give you breakfast the night before. Location is close to the bus station and main road with lots of restaurants and a grocery store. If I come back to El Chaltén, I would absolutely stay here again!!

The hotel is a good place, very clean, nice rooms, quite central. But the best thing were the owners, super nice, always helpful and open for a chat. They cared for everything during our stay and planned our trips with us. Thanks for the nice stay!
