Two of us stayed here for 5 nights to serve as our home base for trekking in El Chalten. The hotel is excellent - the rooms are large and clean and the staff is very friendly and helpful. We stayed in a room on the 3rd floor with a king-size bed. The hotel is located toward the far end of... More

We stayed here for two nights and the beds were super comfortable (especially after knocking out a 15 mile hike)! The hotel is clean and nicely designed. The only thing to note is that this is not the hotel to stay at if you want a personalized experience. The front desk staff was fine, but they were not overly welcoming... More

We came upon this place after arriving in El Chalten in the evening. The staff is super friendly and helpful. Rooms are clean and comfortable. Compared to the other places we stayed in Argentina, we felt the breakfast was a notch below. All the same options, but a cheaper grade of cereals, breads and meats.

We stayed at Poincenot for 2 nights while we hiked around the El Chalten area and having looked at lots of hotels online I decided that they were pretty much all the same so just picked this one. It was comfortable, the breakfast was good and they prepared absolutely huge lunches for us both days. Other than that, the bedroom... More

Really friendly staff. I felt like we were constantly asking for help with one thing or another (planning our days, etc) and they were so patient and always happy to help. The rooms were very nice, very clean, and were a great oasis at the end of a long day of hiking or biking. The breakfast is really good too.... More

We stayed 4 nights and this hotel and we really liked our stay here. We were warmly welcomed by the host that also gave us a bottle of wine. The hotel is new, with central heating. The room was clean. Chaltén is small, but this hotel is very close to the start of the hikes. The staff are nice and... More

I stayed 3 nights in it at the begining of 2013. The room was good. Beds were comfortable. Television contains many good channels. Toilets are clean and the shower is very good (with good hot water). Good service from receptionists. Really enjoyed my stay there.

Modern building and clean, tastefully decorated rooms, I enjoyed my stay here. Hot water in the showers was very hot (had to keep adding cold). Wifi only worked in the foyer area, where it worked very well. Breakfast was varied and delicious. Well located for hiking. If you catch the bus from El Calafate, don't get off at the bus... More
