This is a great hostel. We stayed in a private en-suite room on two occasions at the hostel. The first was in a little house next to the hostel and the second was inside the main hostel. I would definitely try and get the main hostel. Each room is named after a place in Latin America and ours was lovely... More

Really enjoyed my stay here, 4 bed dorm was clean, spacious and comfortable, great showers too. The lounge area is quite cozy, if you're looking for a place to stop and relax this is it. Also a tasty BBQ nightly. The view is really beautiful from the dining area. The staff are very sweet & helpful at booking excursions, i... More

We had skeptically read reviews of the hostel's buffet dinner, but it was shockingly good: better than some parillas we visited in Buenos Aires. Well-seasoned and expertly grilled meat, excellent selection of salads. It is not, to be clear, an all-you-can-eat feast, but we all felt that we got a fair amount of food at a fair price. Also, they... More

What a place - stayed here on the recommendation of some friends and was the best hostel we stayed at in our 2 months in Argentina! Staff were excellent - very friendly, helpful and we organised a few tours and bus tickets through them which was simple and they just added the cost to our bill at the end which... More

We stayed he for two nights and I initially found the staff very helpful in telling us about excursions and making bookings. The prices in El Calafate are pretty flat so they offer the same prices everywhere. They were also helpful in making bookings for us when we told them where we wanted to stay in Chalten - there is...

We stayed here as the "budget" leg of our holiday around Argentina. While this was the least expensive of our stays, it was far from the worst. The hostel was clean, comfortable, well run and in a stunning location on the hill high above the town. The building itself was interesting with a great panorama from the lounge where you... More
