This was an odd place, the owner comes over as friendly but it felt like staying in a relatives house, when whatever you are doing, they are there watching you and you can't relax. The room we felt was overpriced, we stayed in a private double, shared bathroom and there were no extras, the bedside lamp didn't work properly and... More

The place is a bit worn. The rooms are somewhat cramped. We were not 100% satisfied about our stay. However, the owner is very friendly and helpful. Note: They were a bit pushy about selling us a tour. More

We only stayed one night in Puerto Madryn as such we emailed in advance of our booking to see if Glady’s could help us book a tour for the following day to see the killer whales, southern right whales and penguins. Glady’s was extremely helpful booking the tour (which had an English speaking guide) and in advising us on the... More

We had been refered to this hostel after our initial pick was full. In hindsight we were very happy about this. El retorno is a nice clean hostel, but the biggest plus are the wonderful owners. Owner Gladys is a very warm hostess, providing us with good information and some nice conversations. The tours we arranged here were all good... More

We stayed here for three nights in October 2011, in a double room with small private bath. The owners were very friendly and helpful.

Gladys and Mathais welcomed us from the very first moment and made us feel at home. We had a matrimonial room with shared bathroom - the room itself was great, and the bathrooms although quite small,... More

We stayed two nights in this lovely place. Owners, Gladys and Mathias are very nice and closed to the needs of their guest. They were very helpful with us and thanks to them, we have enjoyed many activities. their hostel is cosy and secured More

We stayed here a few nights. The best thing about the hostel was probably the location, it’s only a few minutes walk from the beach. The hotel is quite tired and worn, the sheets thin and towels small and old. We had a room with a private bathroom, but the bathroom was separate from the room, we knew this in... More

We stayed at this three nights. The price was reasonable for the area 220 pesos for a private room (double bed) and bathroom. We found the room and bathroom clean. The hostel was generally nice, plain and simple. The hostess was very pleasant when we checked-in and checked weather for getting to see the whales. See also recommend other trips... More
