Our favorite hostel
We stayed at several hostels during our Patagonia trip and this was our favorite. It is really more like a B&B. Family run, very welcoming. We really enjoyed the breakfast and courtyard!

Great experience
The hotel is beautiful with a nice flower garden and a great view of Lago Argentino. It was a nice room with comfortable furnitures， very clean. The breakfasts were very well served. Sandiego and his parents are kind, very helpful for all our needs. Maydel helped us tremendously to find stores, bus station, and taxi. She even taught us Spanish and Portuguese.
Enjoy beautiful lupines when you have breakfast.
Hotel is on a highland with a great view.
View of Lago Argentino with two colors. Sandiego will explain why it has two colors.

10/10 Exceptional

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!

10/10 Exceptional

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.

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.
Kevin, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.

10/10 Exceptional

The Hosteria Rukahue is an excelent hotel in El Calafate. The rooms are spacious and cleaned daily. The hotel staff is extremely helpful and the breakfasts were great. If I ever return to El Calafate, I shall stay at the Hosteria Rukahue again.

The walls are very thin and the bathrooms are very small. Staff are great and the bar/reception area is great. 15 minutes walk to the center of town.

It is a very friendly family business. Everyone was very helpful.

10/10 Exceptional

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.
