Quijote Hotel — Hotel in El Calafate

What can we say about this appalling hotel, as the list is long of their pettiness to give customers the minimum of services while saving money. Already the Quijote hotel is depressing, old and in need of renovation and the asking price is very expensive for this type of hotel so do not book this hotel. The room also had to be completely redone and the amenities were particularly limited and not ecological because they were made of disposable plastic. The hotel and breakfast were the worst of a 5 week stay. Breakfast is not only depressing but junk with low-end industrial bread and croissants like the rest, with a more than limited choice. There is an omelet but no bacon, it's hard to get basic fried eggs. By insisting, I had fried eggs on the 1st day but they were overcooked (hard cooked) highlighting their ability to cook and the next day the manager did not approve my request so no eggs!. This morning we arrived and found only dirty and uncleared tables and we set the table ourselves, so probably not enough staff. Also during check-in, the receptionist did not look for an available room while the others do and he asked us to come back and this is unusual because other hotels do their best to satisfy their customers. Also checkout is early at 10 a.m. while other Argentinian hotels are at 11 a.m. or noon. I had knee surgery a few weeks ago and I can't bend my leg to step over a bathtub, so I asked for a shower and he confirmed. And I had a bathtub that I couldn't use. The level of English of the staff in contact with customers in this tourist town is pathetic because they do not want to employ more qualified, and therefore more...

Loved the location. Easy walking distance to shopping, restaurants and main street - as well as the lovely preserve in town that is worth a couple of hours to visit. But I digress.||||Besides the location there is nothing to distinguish the hotel. The rooms were average in comfort and size. The continental breakfast was good but the breakfast room staff never interacted with customers or made us feel welcome.||||Front desk was professional but not necessarily welcoming or friendly. On our last day, we stored our luggage and told them that we will need the luggage by 1PM. This was important because a big tour bus was there with tons of bags in the lobby. When we came back for our bags, the manager - who was at the front desk took me to the filled to the brim luggage storage room and basically said find your bags. Fortunately, she helped a bit and the bellhop eventually showed up to retrieve my bags from the back of the room.||||Not a big deal, but not a...
