Guest Reviews

• Cornelia (10/5): -
• Patrick (9/5): - Nettes Personal, gute Lage in der Nähe des Eingangs zum Wanderweg zur Laguna de los Tres, Küche Teilweise etwas kalt in den Zimmern
• Jennifer (10/5): - Close to the bus station, clean rooms and facilities. They have breakfast served early. The staffs are helpful. None, but the roads where property is located is not cemented so very hard to pull the heavy luggage. I ended up getting taxi to the bus station because i cant carry my heavy luggage. Other than that, property is great!!
• SHUNSUKE (10/5): -
• Alice (10/5): Very comfortable, welcoming and convenient for the bus terminal. - Very convenient for the bus station, but also walkable into town. Comfortable and clean private rooms. Incredibly friendly and helpful staff.
• Francho (10/5): -
• DiegoA92 (10/5): Tranquilidad, limpieza - La limpieza del lugar y en general todo super cómodo. También, que incluye desayuno es un plus El chico que me recibíó cuando no llegué no lo sentí lo más amable, de hecho ni me mostró nada solo me llevó a la habitación. Me dí cuenta que otr@s recepcionistas, al menos mostraban las áreas comunes.
• Maxie (10/5): C’est tout simplement le meilleur hostel que l’on ait fait depuis le début de notre voyage. Le personnel est très accuei -
• Virginia (7/5): - Very friendly staff, welcoming atmosphere and gluten free options for breakfast. The hostel is a bit far from the main streets with bars and restaurants in a dark area.
• Leslie Reina Del Carmen (10/5): - Me encanto el lugar, la gente muy amable me ayudaron mucho por el tema de los tours
• Tairine (10/5): -
• Jenny (9/5): Very nice cozy hostel close to bus terminal - - Nice and friendly staff (bon courage Franco pour le français 😉) - Great location, 5min walk from bus terminal and 5min walk from city center and supermarket - Cozy nice light in the living room with "egg" swing chairs, perfect to chill and read a book - Comfortable bed, each bed has a big locker underneath and small shelf next to power point. - Many toilets and showers in bathroom. All very clean. Hot and good water pressure. - Free nice breakfast with tea, coffee, milk, yogurt, oat, scrambled eggs, cakes, bread, dulce de leche, butter, jam, fresh fruits (apple, banane, orange) - Excellent wifi - Laundry service and bike rental available (although I haven't used them) - Shower cabins are not closed at the bottom, so water may flow to/from the next shower cabins. - No bed curtain but it's possible to hang the towel if you're on the lower bed - Tap water is not drinkable - Just for info, the street in front of the hostel is a dirt road but I was able to roll my wheel luggage on it (in dry weather).

• Júlíana (9/5): - Vel
• Thaís (10/5): - Tudo estava ótimo! Café da manhã muito bom!
• SATOSHI (3/5): 冷蔵庫の品物を盗まれて最悪！ - ロケーションが良い 他の宿泊客のマナーが悪い。冷蔵庫に置いたビールと日本製高級食材は盗まれた。夜中にベッドで話している人間もいた。
• Therese (10/5): - Super gezellige plek

• Chi Nuan (10/5): -
• Martha (9/5): -
• Maria Belen (10/5): Para disfrutar solo o acompañado - El desayuno incluido se ofrece desde las 6.30 hasta las 9.30. Si avisás con antelación, podés pedir que dejen armado opciones de acuerdo a las dietas que cada uno siga. La cocina se puede usar de 12 a 23 horas. Muy buena presión y temperatura del agua de las duchas.
• Hugo (10/5): - Absolument tout ! L'auberge est juste à côté du terminal de bus et 10min a pied du centre. Elle est très propre avec une cuisine spacieuse. Le personnel est vraiment adorable ! Ils proposent plusieurs services très intéressants. Génial !
• Wendy (10/5): - The breakfast is good, the bed is comfortable If there is a curtain of bed would be much better, so others wont be disturbed when the bed light is on
• Daniela Rossy (7/5): -
• Marion (8/5): -
• Maelle (8/5): A lovely little hostel in a great location (a 5-minute walk from the bus station). The staff are really friendly. The lo - Living room + kitchen! No curtains for each bed = no privacy at all
• Siobhan (7/5): - Good location, close to bus station and easy walk downtown in about 15min. Good kitchen facilities and nice lounge area to hang in. Got charged for our sheet ripping on the first night despite alerting them to the issue as soon as it happened. Gentleman on the day shift was overly friendly with chatting to the girls hanging in the lounge. Ki
• David (9/5): -
• Aurora (7/5): - Brand new facilities, spacious common spaces. Good location close to bus station. Both soap dispensers in female toilets and both dish soap dispensers in the kitchen were empty for the 18 hours I was there. Top bunk was uncomfortably close to the ceiling (head touching the ceiling from ladder step 2 out of 4 or when sitting, and I’m under 170cms) there was nothing to hold on to while climbing except the thin panel between the two beds. People raving about the breakfast must be confused with an other hostel. Definitely no eggs; just ultra processed sandwich bread and cakes + jam/butter/dulce de leche and overripe fruit
• Javier (8/5): - Calidad precio del alojamiento Debería mejorar el desayuno
• Carlos Smok (9/5): Excelentes instalaciones - Las instalaciones son muy buenas, amplias y cómodas. Podrían incluir toalla como muchas otras hostales. La ubicación es cercana al terminal de buses pero un poco más alejado del centro.
• Juneeja (10/5): - It was an absolutely pleasant stay. Quite close to the bus station, clean bathrooms and rooms, and the staff were super helpful with recommendations and helping out. Even had a good breakfast spread! Would definitely stay again.
• Philip (8/5): - Nice modern facility with heated floors and good bathrooms and breakfast
• Jazmín (9/5): -
• Rina (10/5): - One of the top 3 hostels during my 6 months travelling. It's really clean, the beds are comfortable, there are enough showers and toilets and now, at the beginning of autumn they are using floor heating. The kitchen is spacious and also clean, plus breakfast is included (scrambled eggs, bread, fruits, cake, jam, coffee/tea/juice and cereals). There is a big communal area. The location is good. It's near the bus terminal, but the city centre and the supermarket are easily reached on foot.
• Sabina (9/5): Great value and location, friendly hostel! - Handy location for bus station, easily walkable to town. They helped organise airport transfer shuttle. Staff super friendly. Great breakfast. Lots of showers and facilities, very clean. Great wifi. All the rooms are off the main corridor so if you want an early night bring earplugs. But it's good that the main living area is separated with a big door.
• Philipp (9/5): - Alles gut
• Axelle-Dune (8/5): Si vous avez un bus tôt ou tard dans la journée l’emplacement est parfait -
• rocio belen (9/5): - Siempre lo elijo por la ubicación y porque a diferencia de otros Hostel es un ambiente más calmo de gente no hay tanta joda y a eso yo lo prefiero

• YUJIN (7/5): - 버스정류장과 가까워서 좋습니다. 남는 방이 트리플룸 뿐이라 트리플룸 예약했는데 아주 넓고 좋았어요. 방 크기 컸고, 화장실 따로 쓸 수 있어서 편했습니다. 변기 물을 내리면 끝도없이 물이 내려가서 매번 변기 뚜껑 열고 조정해줘아했고, 이불에 머리카락이 상당히 많고 조금 더럽다는 느낌이 있었어요. 전반적으로 깔끔하게 보이는데 막상 까보면 아주 깨끗하지는 않았습니다. 조식은 다른 후기처럼 부실한 편이고 스탭들이 친절하다는 느낌도 아니었습니다. 본인들끼리 즐거운 느낌. 방에 에어컨이나 선풍기가 없는데 창문에 방충망도 없어서 좀 덥고 갑갑한 느낌은 있었어요. 숙소에서 투어 가격 문의했는데 버스터미널 가서 물어본 가격이 더 저렴했어요. 터미널 가서 예약하시길 추천합니다.

• Milena (10/5): - Hostel z klimatem i doskonałym stosunkiem jakości do ceny. Kontakt z personelem wzorowy, rozmiar pokoju i wygoda łóżka na medal. Niczego nie brakowało. W hostelu i pokoju bardzo czysto. Przyjechałam autem, więc kwestia lokalizacji nie miała aż takiego znaczenia. Śniadanie jest miłym dodatkiem, jak na hostel i Argentynę - całkiem niezłe :) Cienkie ściany, ale to chyba powszechny problem w tego typu obiektach. To bardziej kwestia gości, czy potrafią uszanować ciszę nocną. Warto mieć zatyczki.
• Eddchewar (8/5): - Muy céntrico Los baños
• Eddchewar (8/5): Sobrevalorado - La ubicación Los baños
• Nikolaos (9/5): Very good stay! - - location close to the center ( could be scary for some people in the night as it’s sort of dark to walk to the center, lights are few ) but never had any problem - very clean , bathrooms very clean - staff very polite , very informative Only the location could be a bit of problem for some due to the fact that the hostel is located on a street which you have to walk through and there are not enough lights so I had to use my phone torch

• Brayan Steven Aldana (9/5): Normal - Me gustó que te queda cerca de la estación de buses. Tiene camas cómodas y espacios grandes para tu equipaje. También es un buen balance calidad-precio.

• Lehuede (8/5): -
• Aurelien (8/5): Sympa! - Très bien dans l’ensemble. Très propre. Pas de savon dans les toilettes !
• Kathryn (8/5): Great hostal near the bus station - Great hostal near the centre, but far enough away to be quiet at night. Lovely open plan social areas and kitchen. Good help yourself breakfast and plenty of it. Nowhere to hang towels in the bathroom and no shelf to put your toiletries on in the bathroom
• Yuki (8/5): -
• Leah (10/5): Brilliant stay at this hostel! - Brilliant hostel in El Calafate! A short walk to the centre of town and very, very short walk to the bus station. The room was a good size and comfortable and the facilities were excellent - The kitchen had everything you needed and it was able to have quite a lot of people preparing food at the same time, the toilets/showers were always clean and well stocked and the shared space was comfortable. The staff here (especially Franco) were super kind and helpful!
• Lucas Ezequiel (8/5): - Los espacios comunes eran muy amplios y super comodos. Los baños y duchas espectaculares. Para mi deberian tener un lugar ventilado donde colgar los toallones o toallas, al estar en la habitacion generaban un poco de olor a humedad
• Mark (9/5): Good, clean, professionally run hostel close to town. Good breakfast. -

• Kira (10/5): - Amazing hostel, very clean and has a lot of very thoughtful features, like outlets by each bed and a little shelf for your phone/personal items, very nice and well equipped kitchen, good breakfast with eggs (!!!), cute courtyard, extremely close to the bus terminal. The bathrooms are stall style but divided by gender. Friendly and helpful staff.

• Leandro (10/5): -
• Anne-Marie (10/5): Stayed twice! - Location perfect - few minutes walk from the bus station, and about 5-10min walk to main street "downtown". Staff was responsive and helpful. Rooms were clean and lots of storage space. The interior courtyard was nice but people smoke there so the smells comes in and sorts of prevents people from enjoying a smoke free area outside. It would be nice if the smoking area was away from the rooms windows/doors. The kitchen is great but could use a few more pots and pans! :)
• Eric (8/5): - L'ambiance et la chambre Le lieu de vie est un peu petit et le fait qu'il y ait seulement des rideaux aux douches. Manque d'intimité.
• Konings (8/5): Erg fijn, we komen er nog terug! - Loopafstand van het busstation. Fijne gemeenschappelijke ruimte met voldoende zitplekken, gezellig muziekje aan. Zeer behulpzaam personeel die hielpen met boeken van tours etc. Ruime keuken, prima om te koken. Netjes verzorgd ontbijt. Fijne douches. Nette kamers. Werd goed schoon gehouden. Ligt een stukje uit het centrum. Niet al het materiaal in de keuken was schoon.
• Emil (9/5): - Very nice chill area and kitchen The beds where a bit hard
• Fulvia (10/5): - letti comodi, ambiente confortevole e familiare. Buona colazione, buona posizione, molti servizi offerti e assistenza h24. Complimenti ai ragazzi della reception ☀️❤️
