MABRA SUITES made us happy in El Calafate with its warm reception and comfortable facilities. The hotel was a new building with clean facilities and plenty of outlets, and I was very satisfied with the fact that I could order a lunch box when I was trekking. Most of all, your kind reception will be the most memorable. Thank you for making my memory good in El Calafate. I highly recommend this hotel

This was the best apartment we've stayed in throughout our three weeks in South America thus far. It was spacious, clean, had all the amenities you need, and was in a central location in town. The host was also kind and helpful. All was good!

The receptionists were incredibly helpful. Our bus was cancelled as vehicles were restricted from travelling due to high winds. Adriana and the other receptionists went way beyond the call of duty to help us figure out a solution for getting to our Puerto Natales on time for our flights next day. They spent hours of their time with us.

The staff were really helpful and friendly and helped us to book a tour to the glacier with them for cheaper than we had found online, and a taxi to the bus station. The hostel was well maintained and very clean. They provided free coffee and some basic cooking items such as oil. The kitchen was very well stocked with utensils and crockery - perfect for us as we cooked all of our meals during our stay.

Perfect location for the bus and not far from the centre of the town. Great helpful staff. Able to organise trips and buses to other destinations (they are also a tour company). Always being cleaned and shared kitchen for a hostel was very clean. Food box for guests to leave excess food for other guests to use. They responded immediately to a problem with a leak in the bathroom.

This hostel was very clean, to be honest I wasn't expecting much because it was the cheapest hostel I could find, but it was perfect for me. My only suggestion would be to say that it would be great to have a little shelf so if you are on the upper bunk you have somewhere to put your phone / wallet. The wifi was super fast and the kitchen was spotless. I'll definitely return.
