Cauquenes de Nimez

Very cozy, clean place. We felt at ease, staff was friendly and help us out. We were very grateful of the reception desk who called taxis and gave us information of where to eat. Owner was very approachable. The bed was comfortable. Bathroom was clean and safe for older people. We would stay again. We ate at La Cuchara and another night at the cantina restaurant near by. Remember in Argentina people eats around 7 pm.

This is not a luxury hotel. The rooms are small. But the hotel gives this very quaint vibe. Great colors, rustic, mismatched furniture. It's not right in the downtown area so it's quiet. We left our window open and we were disturbed only by birds...nice breakfast with usually buffet fare. It took us 15 minutes to walk into town for shopping. Really great things that were closer were the El Cucuaron restaurant and the Laguna bird sanctuary. Both were surprising gems.

The photo of the accommodation looks very charming but it actually views some back yards - besides that it's quite far from the centre and not the most pleasant area. Dirty carpets and no pressure on the shower. However the lake is nearby and we had a very nice walk and dinner and drinks with a lot of young local people at nearby bar-cafe-restaurant La Cantina.

We had a pleasant stay at the hotel. The rooms are cozy, but quite small, but clean. The location is a bit off the city center, but within 15 minutes by walk not that far away. Make sure you have dinner at El cucharon just around the corner. The breakfast’s choice was a bit too tiny but everything is home-made. They have a very friendly staff that speaks well English. The only thing is that the washing bag (actually 23k ARS) costed 35k ARS because it was too full. That‘s a rip-off…

Room has ample space with two luggage stands plus two chairs and a small 'table'. Breakfast is the standard Argentine fare. In other words ham and cheese with toast. Not the friendliest staff but they did what they were supposed to do. Its a 15 minute walk to downtown.

This hotel is a fantastic hotel! It is located just a 10-15 minute walk to the center of town and has some incredible views of the lagoon and the mountains in a quite and safe residential neighborhood. The staff (especially Ana, Ana, and Diana) are AMAZING! Super sweet and helpful and give the best food recommendations. The breakfast is good and the restaurant in the evening is cozy and warm. There is also a great homemade restaurant at less than a 5 minute walk from the hotel as well. The wifi is generally good and the rooms are comfortable, warm, and the shower is warm and soothing. Would absolutely stay here again when in El Calafate!

We had a lovely stay at Cauquanes de Nimez! It is located very nicely, just a few minutes walk from the nimez lagoon and ca 10-15min walk from the city center. The hotel has a very cosy and homely feel to it. The rooms were simple, but tidy and had everything one needs. The service was excellent, helpful and everyone made us feel welcome (special thanks to the lovely receptionists Flor and Mayra!). We would definitely come again 5/5

Fantastic lodge in perfect location. You are a 3 minute walk from Lago Argentina, set in mountains with horses milling about, near the amazing Lagunez de Nimez bird reserve. Even though you are away from downtown the fantastic El Cucharon and the pretty good La Cantina are both within a 5 minute walk overlooking the lake. ||Staff is both friendly and helpful, definitely download whatsapp for local communication, can help with activity, restaurant reservations and taxis. ||Rooms are large, comfortable and clean. Bird sounds making sleeping soothing.||Only downside is that the free breakfast probably should be better. I did not try the restaurant as a result.
