I stayed at El Refugio both before I went on a three day kayaking trip to see the Southern Right Whales and when I came back, and I am very glad I did. I got a massive room with beds enough for at least five people, and i'm only one person, but it was lovely to have all that room to amble around in. There was a balcony to enjoy the birds, the winds, the sun, and a breakfast any time you wanted from the service oriented owner. They are very helpful with luggage and anything else you need assistance with. 

When I came back the second time they weren't there, and I honestly didn't realize that a room with my name on it with the key in the door was already waiting for me- it was quite obvious, and my guide went to call the owner (quite unnecessary had I simply gone up the stairs, which I eventually did) He came running to make  sure I got in.. 

I had been without a shower for three days, sweating in my kayak, and I can tell you that the very very very hot water that came tumbling out that shower was very well worth what I paid for that room. Sometimes you get tepid, sometimes you get cool. Here it is HOT. For my aching shoulders it was heaven.

Located right on the main drag of town (there are two of them) this one is within walking distance of everything that is anything - and there isn't much- in Puerto Piramides. I love that you get a cold fridge in your room, watch that you don't freeze your flavored milk like I did. There is room to spare, sunlight to love, lots of outlets for all your technical gadgets which can be so very hard to find but not here. 

One of the great treats for breakast is freshly squeezed orange juice.The owner takes out  a very old fashioned - and I grew up in Florida smack in the middle of citrus country so I know what I saw- orange juicer and hand squeezed juice for his patrons. It separates, as OJ does quickly if you don't drink it right away- unlike fake treated stuff. And it is pure heaven. Now that is service. There are a lot of fine hotels that give you concentrated junk but here- it is the real thing. You gotta love that kind of treat where most of the bushes are all thorns, and it's hard to imagine getting fruit in the first place. 

The only comment I would note is that they say they have wi-fi.While I was there the only wi fi I could get was off the employee's i-Phones. They'd just had a bad windstorm and lots of folks didn't have it. So this is likely a situation, rather than a constant. 

I strongly advise considering El Refugio if you want a warm place to land, be fed well, have an upstairs double bed and a downstairs table to read a little balcony to watch the birds and be sung to by them at least in the spring and summer. Loved this place.

Huge lovely rooms and great service, and HOT showers!!!

El refugio is a very nice hotel and restaurant very well sited 
the foods of sea side is very rich
the rooms are decorated with a nice objets  
people in charge of the place is very warm and can help you for activities

Very nice place

Just stayed for 3 nights in lovely Puerto Piramides at the end of an 8 week tour of Argentina and Chile. We have mostly stayed in hostels and sadly El Refugio was the worst accommodation we encountered. The room was enormous with extra beds but this room should not be rented out before repairs are made to the bathroom. The cold tap barely runs, the sink is wobbly and rusty, the shower area needs replacing as water leaks out and floods the bathroom and is completely rotting round the edges.
Shame because the location is great, wifi good, free parking outside and owner is helpful for walks and trip ideas. Breakfast was basic and unhealthy but we just took our own fruit.
