Kau Kalenshen is a small, friendly hosteria set just behind the main street of El Calafate. A great location for the restaurants and shops and an easy walk to the bus station - if you don't have all your luggage with you at the time, as there are a few steps involved. We stayed for 2 nights, then did a... More

The people working here are so nice. And the vegetarian restaurant here is really nice, not to mention a great deal (which is rare in touristy El Calafate). More

Located off the main road in El Calafate, I liked this place the moment I entered it. Cristian welcomed us and and was so friendly and helpful you immediately felt comfortable. My room was in one of the small chalets set in the well maintained and tranquil garden, it was cozy, comfortable and nicely styled. Breakfast was fine, not abundant... More

We got there very late. Regardless of the time Mariano gave us a warm welcome and set us up for a great room upstair. The common areas are super nice. The garden, rooms, location, all great. What really was the highlight was the friendliness of Mariano, Adrian and Cristian. Cool guys, expert in the areas around Calafate. Great customer service.... More

I didn't realize this place was offered accommodation, i just went to the restaurant for the food. Tucked into a side street in the tourist-ridden and quite pricey but beautiful El Calafate, Kalushen feels like a combination dining nook/family room. Featuring a menu that is 100% vegetarian with numerous vegan options, their fare is simple but savory. I had the... More

I loved Kau Kaleshen. My flight was quite late, but I was still warmly welcomed at the inn and shown to my cozy room. I stayed in a room with two twin beds and the bed I slept in was very comfortable. The shower was perfect with hot water and plenty of it. The room was kept clean. Stepping out... More

The best of this hotel is its central location (in a sprawling non-town like El Calafate, it is a big plus) and its pretty garden. I liked to see that the rooms surrounded the garden. The rooms themselves were plain and somewhat dark. The shower was only a trickle. There was a television and a computer in the common area,... More

The hotel is very well located close to the main street. very cozy rooms and hotel areas. It is also a tea house and restaurant which unfortunately we couldn't use. The manager, Mariano was very friendly even before the arrival listing us a lot of excursion options without any extra charge. We've booked with him with no problems. Very nice... More

Every morning we sat in the courtyard and enjoyed the beauty of the garden, basked in the sun and absorbed the tranquility of location. We found the hosteria to exceed our expectations. On the plus side the location is perfect being one block from the center of town; individuals at the front dest spoke English and were very helpful in... More

We spent there only one night but were happy of the choice. The hotel is nicely decorated and the rooms opening on the garden are quiet. Our room was a bit small but still acceptable. The staff was helpful and kind. We tried as well their vegetarian cafe/restaurant (a challenge for argentina), and liked the food, tin spite of no... More
