Pros:

El Hotel es sencillo, tiene una de las mejores vistes de la ciudad. Esta alejado del centro, para nosotros no fue un problema al contrario, pero es bueno saberlo. Estaba limpio, con algunos detalles, pero la amabilidad del personal tanto recepción como los del restaurant hicieron que fuera una grata experiencia. Comimos rica cena, accesible. Y tuvieron la amabilidad de prepáranos el desayuno antes del horarios porque nuestro vuelo salía temprano. Muy bueno!

We would love to stay again sometime.
Pros:

This is a hotel that feels like home. Nestor and his sons Tomas and Herman are friendly and welcoming and want to do everything to make your stay enjoyable. Delicious meals prepared by chef. Lots of space for parking.The beautiful view from the hill is of the lake and mountains. Very peaceful here.

Cons:

It fairly long walk to town. But still quite doable and taxis are inexpensive.

Ok
Pros:

Isolated and very far from the city centre, with nothing nearby. Its selling point is the Lago Argentina, but the view is just the west part of lagoon. To reach the hotel, you would need to walk uphill on a dusty road with loose gravel for 2km. Not ideal for ppl with heavy luggage unless with taxi.
A small room with a very very tiny bathroom. The rooms and the dining area are on same level, thus is noisy when guests are getting breakfasts before their morning tours (and dinner time too). Terrible wifi!
Overall, good value if trying to save cost and not fussy abt connection. Otherwise, i see many nicer options on Avenue de Libertor

Cons:

Location and wifi is terrible

On a very windy dusty road 2km from town centre
Pros:

They do have a restaurant for dinner and you can buy drinks, but we didn't try that out. Good heating and hot shower.

Cons:

Not a great location, on a windy dusty road quite a distance from town and bus station. Very compact room, with virtually no room between twin beds and would be difficult for larger person to get into the bathroom. No elevator, so wouldn't suit less mobile people. Breakfast consisted of coffee, a small bit of toast, jam and a sweet croisant. Wifi kept dropping out.

Pros:

Everything was perfect! The family atmosphere at the hotel made our stay unforgettable! The panoramic view of El Calafate and Lago Argentino is totally breathtaking! The room was very comfortable and clean. The breakfast is very good and optionally you can also eat a delicious dinner. It's some distance from the city centre, but actually we really enjoyed the calm neighborhood. Muchas gracias por todo!

Very good
Pros:

Quiet neighborhood, nice view to the lake. Comfortable room.
English is spoken.

Cons:

Breakfast was very basic. On the first morning there was a group before us, and their mess was left on the tables even half an hour after they left. There was no one to serve us or to clean the tables, so we ended up taking the leftover rolls, tiny portion of jam and butter from the used tables. Next day at least we could sit at a clean table, but the food was not any better or more.
We were recommended to go to a certain restaurant for dinner, "the owner's son's favorite place". It was a tourist trap with mediocre quality food. Probably it is his favorite because he gets a nice commission from them. There are many pleasant restaurants at much nicer locations, no need to accept the recommendation. The hotel's restaurant is open for dinner, but I would use that only as a last resort, the food looked very boring, and based on our breakfast experience, I would not expect good service either.
