This hotel is a gem in El Calafate. The property is beautiful, with quiet sitting places by large Windows with views of the lake and the mountains. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Breakfast is very healthy and they would make fresh eggs if you want at no additional charge. You can give your laundary for a very reasonable cost. We are definitely coming back. It is located about 15 minute walk from main street. But you get the quiet and beauty and views (and a very reasonable cost)

We had a wonderful stay at Hosteria Rukahue. There is a feeling of warmth and peacefulness in this cozy, family run hotel. Communication was excellent and service was attentive and personal. Thanks so much for the special homemade Celiac breakfast treats! The family room was perfect for three sisters travelling together. We had a lovely experience exploring ElCalafate from this little hotel as our home away from home!

The shower area, though small, was adequate, but it might not be for a big person. The price and great breakfast, and easy parking more than compensated for these.

The public water went off and the hotel didn’t have a replacement water tank for emergency. So we had a full day without water. They didn’t bring bottles of water to solve the basic personal needs.

Santiago and all the staff went above and beyond during our three night stay. The rooms and amenities are basic but the hotel is very clean and the daily breakfast was wonderful. We were served fresh fruit, eggs, pastries, juice, coffee and tea and yogurt. The hotel has a beautiful garden and is walking distance to the centre of town. When we have difficulty with an expedition we had organized, Santiago spent a lot of time with us, trying to assist us by phone, email and even went into town. He was very professional. He obviously cares about the satisfaction and experience of his guests.

Excellent place with very friendly hosts
Fantastic stay at Hosteria Rukahue. A clean, comfortable and very friendly place run by hosts who cannot do enough for their guests. It's about 15 minutes to walk to the main street (and uphill on the way back). Would definitely recommend this place.

We were only there for two nights, but found it to have many thoughtful touches and a cosy space. It's quite a walk to the restaurants and bars though, so would recommend having a car.
