I stayed at El Pilar with a friend for 2 nights at the beginning of April. We arrived to El Chalten a few hours earlier than planned, asked someone at the station to call the hotel and got picked up by Sebastian in about 30 mins. He and the other guys from the hotel (Cristina & Guillermo) were very apologetic... More

We were a little concerned when we found out Hosteria El Pilar was so far out of El Chalten but we were picked up from the bus station and when we came across it after a long drive down a dirt road, it was a little gem! A cute little yellow building with a white picket fence - and inside,... More

We came to hike, and for hikers , this is heaven. We loved the welcoming staff, we loved the fire place, and the sunrise on the mountains More

What a surprise to arrive at such a lovely inn after a long drive on a dirt road. It is the perfect launching point for the Cerro Fitz Roy hike and the scenic drive to Lago Deserito ( saw lots of black necked swans, white swans and pink flamingos along the way). This Inn exceeded our wildest expectations. The establishment... More

We stayed at hosteria Pilar in march 2012 for 3 nights, and would have stayed longer if they would have had availability! the property is lovely, beautiful homey design, comfortable beds, and absolutely excellent food. there are stunningly beautiful hikes of the Patagonian wilderness right out the front door. but what really makes the stay exceptional are the staff, guillermo...

The hosteria is located 17 km from El Chalten via a small gravel road, surrounded by nothing but nature and amazing view of the Fitz roy on a good day. The view here is certainly better than anywhere in El Chalten but naturally this means you are far away from shops and restaurants and unless you have a hire car... More

We had about a week in El Chalten and decided to split it up between this accommodation (near the east entrance of the los glaciares fnational park) and another one in town. Hosteria El Pilar is closer to the Lago de los tres and Glacier Rio Blanco walks, while El Chalten town is closer for walks to Laguna Torre and... More

The best location in El Chalten area, the nicest staff, the best food and comfortable "old" style hotel. I would go back in a heartbeat and recommend highly to anyone going to El Chatlen, but reserve well ahead. We used it as our base for long day hikes to Laguna Torre and Laguna de los Tres. This is what a... More

No words can best descibe the magic and beauty of El Pilar. My husband and I stayed here for 4 nights as part of our honeymoon and we left with tears of joy and wonderment. The hosts, Cristine and William are beyond spectacular. Sebastian who also works on site was just incredible and so nice. The food is 5* and... More
