Guest Reviews
- Leska (8/5): -
- Rebekka (10/5): Alt i alt fornøyd! - Sentralt og rent! Gamle oppvasksvamper
- Hunor (8/5): - The kitchen is nice, and there are multiple common areas. The internet is working It can be really cold, one night I had to put on my pant and sweater for sleep. The door of the room kept reopening which was really annoying in the middle of the night
- Olga (7/5): - Lokalizacja oraz dostępność w krótkim terminie
- uhgox (10/5): Todo bien - La atención del personal
Que me dejaron cocinar hasta el final El edredónbo cobertores tenía mucho cabello de mujer..
Habían muchas moscas Pero entiendo q es por temporadas.
- YUJI (8/5): - スタッフが素敵 ハエが毎日3回くらい清掃してくれてるがキッチンにハエが多くてびっくり
- Felix (8/5): -
- Flavie (7/5): - -La gentillesse et les excellents conseils de Lisandro, notamment pour les randonnées à faire
-L’emplacement Pas de rideaux aux lits, réveil assuré avec les départs nocturnes en randonnée
Douches moyennement propres
Wifi très lent
- Giovanni (10/5): strongly suggested - Amazing property! We stayed in the tiny house and was amazing Nothing
- Mar (9/5): - La ubicación, y el personal lo mejor Quizás podrían mejorar poniendo cortinas en las literas pero esta muy bien el hostel

- Mateo (8/5): -
- Jenny (10/5): Highly recommendable - Great location directly in the city center. Hiking trails, restaurants, supermarket and bus station in walking distance. Staff especially at reception is really friendly and supportive. Common kitchen is very well organized and everything is very clean Nothing, was perfect stay
- Maren (7/5): - The kitchen is big and well equipped with two big stoves.
Some couches, but not enough for everybody.
The common areas were cleaned a lot during the day, so it was very clean. Our 6 bed dorm was really small with no room for the luggage beside the underneath-the-bed lockers. So (un)packing is not possible for more than two people at the same time (and no-one should want to enter the room).
No place to put your stuff when in bed, so the phone might fall in between bed and wall while charging. There were some phone holder, but they didn't seem to last long.

- Léo (9/5): -
- Mª Angeles (8/5): - Acogedor y bien ubicado. Apartamento para tres con baño La puerta corredera del baño
- Jessica (8/5): -
- Kokoro (10/5): - 忘れ物をカラファテまで届けてくれました。
とても親切なスタッフたちです
- Koen (8/5): -
- Ferdinand (9/5): Great place with a few missed opportunities - This is between an 8 and a 9 imo :)
I found the staff amazing (that's mostly why I was thinking a lot if I should give a 9) and had fun chats with them.
The kitchen is also great and rather big with many fridges and sometimes even a BBQ. The rooms can get a bit hot at night and I found the top beds to be strictly inferior. If you don't have to get up at night it's not too bad though:p
There could be a bench more outside and some details here and there, other than that nothing crazy was missing.
Overall for the bed setup I am more inclined to give an 8 overall.
- Luiz Cezar (9/5): - A very pleasant hostel with a true backpacker vibe. The staff was helpful and the people were friendly. I didn’t really like the bathroom. The doors didn’t lock properly, and the shower stall wasn’t very comfortable.
- Ann-Kathrin (8/5): -
- Christian (6/5): -
- Alexis (10/5): Super expérience à El Chalten - Personnel super, grande cuisine, eau chaude et super localisation pour aller marcher et profiter des commerces autour.
Les propriétaires sont vraiment très accueillants. La wifi pourrait mieux fonctionner mais c'est un problème global à El Chalten. Les oreillers un peu durs et des rideaux seraient appréciables, ainsi que des tablettes pour poser ses affaires dans le lit
- Sto Yan (8/5): -
- はなにゃん (10/5): とにかく良かったです! - とにかく移動しやすかった。バスターミナル、登山口、スーパーもそんなに遠くないです。 キッチンは広いのですが混み合う時間をさければ大丈夫です。あとベッドにカーテンがあったらいいかも…
- Anna (7/5): - Gute Lage Bar direkt unter dem Hostel / unter meinem Zimmer mit Musik bis in die Nacht, enge Zimmer ;
In der Küche soll man seine Nahrungsmittel Taggen, aber es gibt nichts zum Beschriften.
- Jana (10/5): - Really nice stay with equipped kitchen. Walk to many hikes just from the accommodation.
- Clara (8/5): Très bon séjour ! - L’emplacement est super en plein dans une des rues commerçantes.
Le personnel est aidant sur les randonnées.
La cuisine commune est grande et bien équipée.
Les dortoirs et salles de bain communes sont grands également et fonctionnels.
Il y a des endroits avec canapé pour se poser. La wifi ne fonctionne pas super bien.
Les lits superposés sont très haut (le lit du dessus), c’est une vraie escalade mais ce n’est pas dramatique.
Et l’endroit mériterait d’être un peu plus cosy mais tout est super fonctionnel donc c’est juste un point d’amélioration.
- Peter (6/5): - Very knowledgeable staff for hiking suggestions. The room was quite packed, the window could not be opened completely to get clean air and noisy during the night due to the bar below.
- Ivan (10/5): -
- Edyta (6/5): - Nettes Personal. Es war über überrall sehr suber ä(Dusche, Bettwäsche, Küche) Zimmer sehr klein, Fenster direkt an der Strasse- keine Ruhe bis Mittelnacht, es war warm im Zimmer.
- Dmitry (8/5): -
- Fabio (8/5): Ottimo soggiorno di tre notti, letti silenziosi e non cigolanti. Buoni gli spazi comuni. Docce calde e pulite - Cordiali, simpatici, zona centrale. Nulla
- Younghyun (10/5): - Nice staff members!
Good kitchen, every bunk has an outlet, good shower room.
Each room had a shoe rack outside the door.
Great location, especially close to the trail to laguna Torre.

- Damien (9/5): - Personal muy simpático con buena onda y consejos de calidad para aprovechar de una experiencia inolvidable en El Chaltén. Instalaciones limpias y confortables
- Guest (8/5): -
- Elbaz (2/5): - הקומה השנייה של המיטה גבוהה מדי ומתנדנדת, הייתה תקרית לא נעימה ואי הבנה מצד הצוות שהיה מבאס, 2 שירותים משותפים ל10 חדרים שלא היו הכי נקיים. הייתי בהוסטלים זולים פי 2 וטובים יותר
- Felipe (8/5): -
- lee (10/5): - 직원분들 모두 너무 친절하고 이곳의 물가가 비싸서 뭔가 사먹기가 부담스러운데 음식도 만들어먹기 좋은 시설을 가지고 있어요 그리고 깨끗하고 항상 청소하고 관리하는 분들이 있는것같았어요 가성비 좋은 곳 입니다😆 없어요
- Caroline (7/5): - L'emplacement est top en plein centre du village, l'hostel est très propre et la grande cuisine est plutôt bien équipée. Les chambres sont aussi correctement aménagées. L'accueil est sympathique également Le personnel de l'entretien n'est pas très sympathique et s'occupe parfois des communs quand on en a besoin (au moment des repas, le soir pendant les douches... Ca ne paraît pas nécessaire de nettoyer si souvent...). L'aménagement des sanitaires est un peu particulier, on n'a pas beaucoup d'intimité.
- Kathleen (10/5): One of the best places I’ve ever stayed! - So cute and a great location! Incredible staff.
- Marc (10/5): - Personal molt amable, lloc molt net Estaria bé algun lloc per poder penjar roba molla
- Alice (7/5): -
- Vittoria (8/5): - Staff molto accogliente e clima carino. Cucina ben fornita, docce molto comode. Posizione ottima. Letti scomodi con cuscini molto duri e con pochissimo spazio personale riservato o strutture su cui poggiare la propria roba. Stanze strette e affollate

- Cait (9/5): - Great communal areas. Big clean kitchen.
- Tristan (10/5): Simple, comfortable, and a great place to meet with fellow travelers - Atmosphere with other guests, helpful and friendly staff, cleanliness, good showers.
- Oksolee (7/5): - 위치 좋고, 화장실 부엌 등 공용시설은 좋았지만, 방 창문 틈으로 바람이 들어와서 방이 너무 추웠음. 화장실이 더 따뜻할 정도. 1층 침대 썼는데 2층 침대는 좀 높아보임
- Monika (7/5): - Bardzo pomocni gospodarze. Lokalizacja dobra. Czysto Mieliśmy domek obok hostelu i w trakcie nocy bardzo mocno wiało i czuliśmy każdy podmuch wiatru, ciezko było przez to zasnąć. Bardzo szybko robiło się zimno przez nieszczelne okna
- charlotte (10/5): - La gentillesse et l'accueil des propriétaires
Au petit soin du début à la fin de mon sejour !
- gonzalo (10/5): Hostal acogedor en la capital del trek argentino - Nati y familia me recibieron muy bien! es un tremendo lugar para descansar y estar tranquilo y seguro. Además cuenta con todo lo que uno necesita.
ojalá les siga yendo increible un abrazo a los 3 enchufes universales seria de gran ayuda.pero el hostal es un 10
- Bonnin Matas (9/5): -
- SOICHIRO (8/5): Good location - Kind staff and good location for everything. Bar below my room was noisy until night.
- Maagan (6/5): Pleasant -
- Erika (10/5): Great stay - Comfortable rooms, clean, large kitchen and
dining area, large bathroom with hot water and
great shower heads. Staff was friendly and
helpful. Place is right at the mid-point of town,
so it's easy to access all the trailheads and
grocery stores.
- Maddie (9/5): Amazing, central base for Chalten hiking! - Had the best week in Chalten thanks to the lovely family that own and run the hostel. Big kitchen, hot showers and location super central to everything. It’s basic but comfortable and you feel like part of the family - asado night was delish ! Could use a bigger sofa/ chill area that isn’t just the kitchen, when the hostel is busy the sofa area upstairs only fits around 4-5 people
- Gega (9/5): Superb - Clean space to stay, one of the cheapest places in Chalten. The owner is very friendly. Mattresses are a bit too old.
- Harry (7/5): Good - Good location. Nice big kitchen. Friendly staff
- Sangheon (1/5): Bad -
- Jorg (6/5): Pleasant - The hosts are welcoming and the place is centrally located in town. They give you clean and personal cutlery if you ask for it. Overall I felt this hostel had the worst price-quality balance of all the hostels I stayed in during my trip in Argentina.
The hostel is very basic. The chairs and tables in the common rooms are not especially comfortable and need an update. The electricity socket at my bed did not work and the wifi works only from time to time.
The hostel is not bad, but not worth the $106 USD I spent on it for three nights on a dormitory.
However, El Chaltén is a very expensive place so the high costs are not altogether due to the hostel itself.
- Sergio (10/5): Exceptional - Great place friendly staff.
- Veronika (7/5): Good -
- Martins (8/5): Good - Staff was very, very helpful There was limited privacy in the bathroom and the public area was not welcoming and well equiped.
- Magdalena (9/5): Superb - We stayed in a small house apartment behind the hostel. It was very nice, and had everything we needed. Space is tight so we needed to be organised with our baggage.
- Anna-sophie (10/5): Would always stay there again - The owners are the best, Marbel and Omar have been so welcoming, supportive and attentive. This way, they gifted us an amazing time in El Chalten with exclusive hiking tips. The price x quality was very reasonable and we had all the equipment we could have wished for, in kitchen and bathroom. /
- Henry (10/5): Exceptional - Mistico Hostel was a great place to stay.
Francesco at reception was great, he was very helpful, and courtious.
Thank you. Everything was good!
- Low (9/5): Superb -
- Thomas (10/5): Exceptional -
- Rob (8/5): Very good -
- Nimmi (8/5): Very good - The staff is very nice and helpful. Location is in the center and 10 minutes walk from the bus station. Bed was comfortable. Bathrooms were clean and water pressure was good. There's no shelf for personal things like phone, etc. by the bed. Kitchen is not well equipped.
The kitchen area is too tight, especially around the sink and stove. There is only 1 stove and not all the stove burners work and on the ones that work, the heat is only high and cannot be lowered properly. There are no enough utensils to cook.
- Diana (6/5): Pleasant -
- Guns_82 (7/5): Good -
- Ahmed (5/5): Passable -
- Guns_82 (7/5): Good -
- Gurel (7/5): Good - Located at a great spot where many of the hikes begin. There are groceries and equipment rental stores nearby. By the number of people they are hosting, the facilities were relatively clean. The bunk beds have storage below them that are lockable. Common areas were not enough, they were always crowded and finding a spot to have dinner became hard.
The window didn't seal in the room, leaving a breeze to always enter.
- Andrew (6/5): Pleasant - Location First night the bed springs dug in my ribs and back, however I asked for a chance of bed and they were kind enough to provide it. Kitchen was a pain as there was only one sink. Could do with a chill out area with comfy chairs.
- Kaija (5/5): Passable - The stay was ok. The beds were comfortable, had power sockets and lockers. The main areas of the hostel are very uncomfortable and it is overpriced for what it is, as are most things in el chalten. Sadly, there is no bit of privacy, as you cannot even lock the Toilettes and staff watches every move in the common area and treated people like children who don't know how to behave, e.g.: you had to ask for everything up to the pen to mark your food at the reception. The personal lamps on the beds are too bright to be used when others are sleeping. But our main problem was that we didn't feel welcome at all, more as if we should be thankful to be able to stay in the hostel. This was cemented by the statement when we arrived to be lucky that we only have to change rooms once during our stay. For which we had to fully check out and in again after one night and leave our stuff out in the open without a way to lock it for the whole day.
All in all the hostel is ok for a very short stay, but if you can, go somewhere else!
- Lynn (10/5): Exceptional -
- Kaanij (8/5): Very good - Great staff work here and they were happy to change my room which I didn't like because it was facing the busy street and I had a snorer next to me. Kitchen area doesn't get too busy at night. Spaces for socialising and communal areas could be improved.
- Jakub (9/5): Amazingly friendly and informative staff, great location - Great location, great kitchen, amazing staff very friendly and helpful with hiking info The showers were right next to the toilets. Hot steam from shower while people go #2 is no bueno.
- Patricia (6/5): Stay here if it’s your only choice - The location of the hostel was on the Main Street and the start of the trails was close by. It was too expensive for what it was. There were no locks in the toilets, so anybody could go walk in while you did your business. The light from the street was coming in at night, since the windows were only partially covered. There was a very small area to hang, and the couch was extremely old and uncomfortable
- Lily (8/5): Good hostel but expensive in January for what you get - Room was very comfortable
People were friendly
Big kitchen Not much comfy social space to chill in
Expensive
