Friendly hotel in central El Calafate

Nice clean room, no issues. Good breakfast - continental style, scrabbled eggs, toast, pancakes. Friendly staff - they run their own local tour agency, which we used for our three trips, all picking up from the hotel. Hotel well situated for centre of town, a few 100m away.
