I had a lovely stay at the hotel. The rooms were charming with lovely old furniture but modern bathrooms. The view of the lake from the Lake View rooms was fantastic, and the thoughtful touches in the decor made it special. However, the service could use some improvement in providing information, and the dining experience was overpriced. The location was perfect for walks and wildlife sightings, but a bit far from town. The facilities were great overall.

I had a pleasant stay at the hotel with warm and clean rooms and very friendly staff. However, there were some issues with the service during our visit. The location was great, overlooking Lago Argentina, but be prepared for additional taxes. The dining experience offered typical Argentinian cuisine but could be too sweet for some tastes.

Staying at Hosteria Meulen was a mixed experience. The incredible room terrace views and spaciousness were impressive, but the lack of proper ventilation made the rooms uncomfortably warm. The service was friendly overall, but there were shortcomings in explaining tour packages. The location, while offering beautiful lake views, was quite a walk from town. Breakfast had a good variety, but some may find it overly sweet. The facilities were above average but had room for improvement.

The hotel offers great views of the lake but falls short in room quality and requires serious remodeling. The rooms are small, dark, and uncomfortably warm despite minimal windows for ventilation. On the upside, the service is top-notch, with accommodating staff even during challenging times. The location, though scenic, is far from town and not very walkable at night. Dining leaves much to be desired with poor quality food.

I had a delightful stay at this hotel. The rooms were a little quirky but lovely, filled with old furniture yet featuring modern bathrooms. They were spacious, but the noise from thin doors was a minor issue. The service was exceptional, with kind and helpful staff and prompt service. The location, although a bit remote and not easily accessible by foot, was picturesque, next to the Nimez Preserve and the Lake, making it a perfect choice for those committed to a backpacking adventure. The dining experience was a mix of good and bad, offering a variety of choices but with occasional burnt croissants and toasts. The facilities provided were top-notch, ensuring a comfortable and pleasant stay.

The Hosteria Meulen offers fair-priced rooms that are well-equipped and very clean, although smaller and darker than depicted. The service was exceptional, with accommodating and helpful staff sharing local stories. The location, though a bit far from town and accessible via a dirt road, is highly recommendable for experiencing the hospitality of Calafate locals. The dining experience, unfortunately, was below par with stale and undrinkable items. Overall, a mixed but recommendable stay.
