Hotel incrível - mas atenção à escolha do quarto
Pros:

Pequeno almoço maravilhoso, muito bom dos melhores que já vi na zona toda. Vista incrível. O staff é maravilhosos, desde a recepção ao restaurante. Tem maquina para se ter água fresca potável junto aos elevadores em cada piso. Fica muito perto de barcos que fazem as tours do Lago Última Esperanza, e muito perto do centro também ainda que a cidade seja pequena.

Cons:

Nesta noite estivemos num quarto MUITO pequeno, que de manheira nenhuma justificou o que se pagou, Cuidado portanto nas marcações porque têm vários tipos de quartos uns bons e outros bastante maus como foi o caso desta noite, um verdadeiro roubo. Mas depois mudaram-me de quarto e fiquei mais dias. Também o facto de haver obras a decorrer não foi bom mas claramente dão o seu melhor para incomodar o menos possível. Mas seria preferível perceber que as obras seriam para melhorar o hotel que está decadente do que acrescentar mais área, que parece ser o que estão a fazer.

Mixed Experience
Pros:

I was twice in the Hotel Costaustralis, with mixed experiences.
The first night I got a small room for one person under the roof, which was more or less empty except the bed. There was no chair or sofa, no wardrobe, and except a very slim side table or the bed itself nothing, where one could put cloth or similar taken out of the suitcase. Other than that the room was o.k., but this really bothered me.
I complained about the missing depositing possibilities the next morning, and when I returned two days later, I got a fully equipped and nice room. Maybe a bit small if you come with 2 persons, but for me the second room was perfectly fine.

Besides that: the hotel is right at the lake, which is nice, and not too far from the city center. It has a large lobby area, check-in was fast and efficient. The breakfast was a bit limited in selection but with a counter for freshly made omelettes or eggs which were very tasty.

So overall a bit mixed feelings, but with the right room a good choice.

Hote bem localizado, mas com péssimo atendimento.
Pros:

O hotel é bem localizado, em frente ao mar, e não distante do centro da cidade. O quarto é amplo e a limpeza, de um modo geral, boa.

Cons:

O atendimento deixa a desejar: solicitei a um funcionário da recepção que fizesse uma ligação para resevar uma mesa em um restaurante e fui MUITO mal atendido, a ponto de ter que me reportar ao gerente da propriedade para formalizar queixa. O hotel se apresenta muito mal cuidado no exterior, necessitando manutenção. O hotel atende a várias excurssões e se apresentou muito barulhento.

Localização excelente.
Pros:

Da cordialidade e simpatia dos funcionários e da localização.

Cons:

O hotel está passando por reformas, para sua modernização. Isso causou um certo desconforto para a circulação dos hóspedes e principalmente nos deixou sem área de estacionamento para nosso carro.

Excellent Views, great service
Pros:

Overall Experience:
We thoroughly enjoyed our recent stay at Hotel Costa Australis. Our experience was overwhelmingly positive, characterized by excellent dining, helpful staff, and a great location. While there were a few logistical inconveniences, the hospitality we received was top-tier.

These were the highlights of our stay. We stayed for 5 nights.

Dining: The breakfast service was a significant highlight. The buffet offers an ample variety of both vegetarian and non-vegetarian options. We particularly appreciated the made-to-order station, where fresh omelets and fried eggs are prepared on demand.

On-site restaurant is a great especially when enjoying the views from lobby and having coffee/drinks We really enjoyed that part of our stay among others. We ordered dinners several times from the restaurant due to variety of menu options.

Excursion Support: The on-site activity booking service is an incredible asset that deserves more visibility. We were initially unaware that a dedicated salesperson was available to assist with excursions. We would like to specifically thank Yohan, who was able to secure a Grey Glacier tour for us at the last minute when other sources indicated it was fully booked.

Areas for Improvement:

Guest Amenities: Upon arrival, we were disappointed to learn that power adapters were not available for guest use unless purchased for $10 (USD), and it was suggested we use the TV's USB port for charging. This felt inconsistent with the high standards of the hotel. Providing USB A and C charge points in room or international plugs as a standard courtesy would greatly improve the first impression for international travelers.

Communication: Prior to arrival, I attempted to contact the hotel multiple times via the WhatsApp numbers and concierge details listed on the website but received no response. Updating these contact channels is essential to ensure guests can easily resolve questions before they arrive.

Despite these minor setbacks, the quality of the breakfast, the excellent lobby, the views and the exceptional effort shown by the staff made for a memorable stay. We highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Puerto Natales.

Poor value for money. The little things you expect will be provided in a suite are not. There’s better value elsewhere.
Pros:

Great views of the water and mountains.
Front desk staff friendly and efficient.

Cons:

Noisy. Doors slamming and other noise from people walking on floors above.
It seems that even in a suit, there are no tissues, no kettle and no refrigerator and you have to walk down the hall to get some filtered water in a receptacle smaller than a milk bottle.
Bar staff in the lounge were inattentive, hard to find and seemed to want to be somewhere else.

Not recommended
Pros:

Rooms are clean, comfortable and in good size. Rooms facing the sea have nice view. Breakfast is quite good. Staff and service are OK but nothing exceptional.

The bad things are: rooms facing the sea (and street) are subject to traffic noise (even at night), so light sleepers would have problems. Also, you can hear every moves outside the room, particularly the sound of shutting doors.

There are no parking spaces for guests, despite it says free parking is available. I was told at check in to find on street parking near the hotel. If the hotel cannot provide parking it should say so in the hotel description.

Overall it is a OK hotel if you don't need parking and have a room facing the town (with no pretty view). However it is not at all an outstanding hotel that can charge higher price.

Pros:

The rooms are in good size, clean and comfortable. Rooms facing the sea have a nice view. Location is central and convenient. Breakfast is quite good.

Cons:

Rooms facing the sea unfortunately also suffer from the traffic noise even at night. There are also noises from people talking and closing the doors. The hotel advertises free parking (reservation required) but there are no parking space at all. Staff explained the parking lot is under construction and told guests to find street parking near the hotel. This is false advertising. They should state no parking is provided by the hotel. I requested in advance a parking space (since they stated reservation is required) but did not receive any response. Overall, the hotel does not have the high quality and services to charge high price.

Comfortable, Clean, Puerto Natales Hotel Across from the Fjord Sea Walkway with Beautiful Views
Pros:

Superior Seaview Room was large with excellent rain shower and bathroom. Elevator access. Location of hotel in Puerto Natales across from the fjord walkway with a beautiful Patagonian mountain view was perfect for our one night stay before an early morning flight. Excellent early full breakfast buffet with eggs and omelettes. Free Parking. Friendly Staff.

Cons:

Busy Road in front of the hotel between the hotel and the fjord sea walkway.

Overall good as rooms were nice and clean.
Pros:

Rooms were next to each other as requested. location was nice as it is just across the street from the fjord.

Cons:

Service wasn't great. We had no hot water on the first night but no one informed us and no one thought of either compensating us for it or finding an alternative...
Staff wasn't very service oriented...
