- Anthony (10/5): -
- Alejandra (9/5): - Los chicos de la recepción son geniales, muy amables y además interesados en ayudar.
La ubicación es perfecta. Los cuartos son de 3 camas. La cocina grande y agradable. Solo sugiero poner unos muebles en los baños para colocar las cosas cuando uno entra a la ducha. :)

- SEOKMIN (4/5): 물이…. - 위치, 이제까지 본 부엌중 가장 깨끗했음, 그네(?), 침대는 괜춘 지내는 동안 단수가 계속 되고 따뜻한물이 잘 안나와서 씻지를 못함…

安い!!!!!!
- paulina (3/5): - La cercanía al centro La recepción estaba fuera de funcionamiento, a la noche era imposible dormir algo, los huéspedes hacen lo que quieren toda la noche, escuchan música fuerte, gritan y golpean puertas, a pesar de que se les pidió amablemente que bajaran su tono de voz, había un grupo de chicos que estaba tomando alcohol en las habitaciones y estaban claramente borrachos, motivo por el cual no respetaron nada. No hay control de nada. El agua se cortó las dos noches que me quedé desde las 10 pm hasta las 11 am del día siguiente. Al llegar no se podía usar la canilla de la cocina porque la habían dejado desarmada. No se podía lavar los platos, tirar la cadena de los baños, ni lavarse los dientes. La cocina estaba en pésimas condiciones, si bien hay personal de limpieza, la misma gente que está hospedada no cuida ni limpia nada, mucho extranjero que hace lo que quiere. Mientras me bañaba el agua se cortaba varias veces y otras volvía fría.
- alejandro (10/5): - El trato muy amable centrico y acogedor
- diego (10/5): - Muy buena la atencion y las intalaciones
- Jan (1/5): Don’t go there - Met nice people there They charged me 34$ for the 2 nights and the water dinners work also everything was dirty -.- I spoke to a couple of people there and they also said it was the worst place they staid at

- Yiling (1/5): -
- Mireia (8/5): Correcte, bona relació qualitat-preu i si no busques un allotjament luxós s’hi està còmode. - La ubicació sobretot, els llits i l’habitació en general eren molt còmodes i fins i tot van aconseguir posar-nos a la mateixa habitació cosa que al fer la reserva ens era impossible. Els lavabos correctes i la cuina gran però faltava una mica de neteja i alguns utensilis més. Ens van permetre deixar la bossa allà una vegada fet el check out. A la cuina només hi havia 4 focs dels quals un no funcionava i era insuficient per tothom. La nevera estava desordenada i plena de menjar (no hi havia per posar etiquetes) i, tot i posar les nostres coses em bosses i marcat, ens va desaparèixer menjar.
- Amuy (10/5): -
- leiva (9/5): agradable - cómodo y limpio la ducha no tenía agua muy caliente, solo un poco tibia
- Paivi (9/5): Very good location, friendly staff - Sijainti oli hyvä ja henkilökunnalla oli huumorintajua, arvostan. Retket olivat myös hyviä. Yhteisiä tiloja ei juuri ollut kuin keittiö.
- Mercedes (10/5): Exelente - El glaciar Perrito Moreno, alucinante La atención del personal del hostel
- Bruno (7/5): Sympa pour visiter le Glacier - Bon prix bon emplacement Pas de consignes

- Elizaveta (7/5): -
- Lowry (10/5): Exceptional -
- Janet (7/5): Good - The staff were very helpful when I wanted to change rooms due to my unpleasant roomate. The whole hostel was nice and warm. Kitchen facilities were good. Staff were able to book discounted tours and onward transport . Close to everything. I wish staff had told me about keeping my glacier ticket for a discount at El Chalten on the trail entries. Not enough outdoor seating.
The only lounging area is in reception.
- Petra (9/5): Superb -
- Rosemarie (7/5): Lovely place to stay. Would recommend - Fab location. Staff are superb and super helpful, cannot fault. Dorm size ok, beds comfy, extra blankets if needed. Kitchen nice size, well enough equipped except more knives are needed (hate eating with plastic). And a few more ceramic mugs would be good. WI-FI is ok in reception, but rubbish in kitchen and very poor in dorms. Plug by bed in room 7 not working (1plug for 3 beds by door ok!). Showers good, bathroom size really good. Nice garden are All good except
WI-FI in dorms and kitchen
Plugs checking and need mending where needed
- Apolline (9/5): Loved our stay there, would recommend. - Incredible staff, very helpful. That have a lift to the Perito moreno that is a bit cheaper than the regular buses. They have fruit trees in the garden and you can eat the fruits! Very few knifes in the kitchen… but all in all very good.
- Koen (10/5): Exceptional - Great hostel with excellent service!
- Catherine (8/5): Very good -
- Ana (9/5): Superb -
- Izzy (9/5): Would stay again! - The room was spacious and the kitchen was large. The staff were really friendly! As they are also a travel agency helped us book our trip to the glacier which was the best deal we had found. Would really recommend! Would be useful if there was some more plates/ bowls in the kitchen
- Amelle (10/5): Exceptional - We had a lovely stay, Flora and Rodrigo were amazing and super helpful ! The hostel is very central which is nice and convenient. The kitchen was big and well equipped which is also a big +
- Paulina (8/5): Very good - Very central, nice kitchen. Our room (Nr. 1) was next to the reception with a window facing the street, so it was a bit noisy. The other rooms seemed to be more quiet.
- Eleanor (8/5): Very good -
- Carolina (10/5): Exceptional - I loved the staff, their guidance and support.
The location is great.
The mattresses are comfy. The check out was too early
- Ankit (5/5): Some rooms better than others but great value for price - Stayed twice - first stay was good - private room is cheap, in center and better price than 2 dorm beds in most places. Kitchen area is big and clean. 2nd stay room - no plugs worked in the room, no blankets and heater didn’t work in room either
- Steven (9/5): Superb - I thought this was a good place to stay. In a city that has a lot of tourists, this place was very reasonably priced and they treated us like visitors, not tourists. They were honest about what they thought we should and shouldn't spend money on, and they were patient when our Spanish wasn't the best.
The place has pretty big rooms and a nice kitchen. It's called a hostel, but didn't seem like a very social place - it seemed more like a place people go with families. I was there with a friend for just 3 nights, so that wasn't an issue at all for me, and it was nice that it was quiet, but it's just something to keep in mind.
- Akshay (8/5): Very good - Super helpful staff. Helped me organize a trip to Perrito Moreno glacier on the same day I landed. Also helped with travel bookings to El Chalten at no extra cost. Airport pickup by the hotel is really pricey at $25.
- Lucille (9/5): Great value for money and great staff, thanks! - The staff was sooo friendly, the location is absolutely perfect, it is very cheap and the garden is very nice to have a coffee outside 🥰 In my room my bed was not stable and was sliding against the tiled floor, making noise every time I moved. A bit annoying but didn’t prevent me from having a good sleep :)
- Carito (8/5): A nice place to enjoy El Calafate - Very nice staff. Super close to the center. Nice kitchen. Quiet. The toilets/bathroom miss like a small table to leave your stuff while you shower.
- Sravan (9/5): recommended -
- Q (10/5): Exceptional -
- Carla (2/5): I wouldnt go back - The location was great and the staff very nice There were bed bugs, the toilets didnt work well, they took out food from the fridge even if it was labeled
- Jesper (6/5): Pleasant - Good value for money, nice staff, good location and priceworthy tours. Luggare storage at a cost even if you just store it during the day while waiting for flight.
- Michal (9/5): Superb - The accommodation was great.
Note: Do not buy tickets at the bus terminal. Not fair price, double. Use another location or online.
- Mattias (7/5): Good value for Money - The staff 10/10, really helpful with booking additionel services.
Also very good wifi and location, only 20 meter from The Main street. Flys in The kitchen.
- Alex (7/5): Okay budget option for a couple of nights - It had adequate heating, was close to the town/bus station and was clean Wifi was terrible. Could’ve done with a table in the room
- Socorro (8/5): Very good -
- Leah (10/5): Perfect - The staff were very kind and helpful. The location is close to restaurants and bars. Safe area. Comfortable beds and clean facilities Nothing
- Amy (9/5): El Calafate at its best - The staff absolutely made this, they were friendly, welcoming and super helpful with sorting tours at the best price we found! Nothing.
- Dayle (9/5): Superb -
- Braddock (7/5): Good -
- Nico (3/5): We stayed for 4 nights: the first 2 were ice cold and the last 2 were like in a sauna due to a faulty heater in the room - The staff was not helpful at all. Also, the kitchen lacked several necessary things (e.g. scissor, can opener, oil, …). Our room had a heater that we couldn’t operate by ourselves so we needed to ask the staff everytime and they didn’t have the proper tool at hand.
- Yiu (9/5): Superb -
- Katinka (6/5): Pleasant -
- Tab (10/5): Exceptional - Nice folks. No chair in room.
- Kamhi (9/5): Excellent stay - Comfortable spacious rooms, nice bathrooms, helpful staff, and well located. A bit expensive, and they don't supply towels.
- Martin (8/5): Three nights in El Calafate - The responsiveness of the staff and the group kitchen The rooms were large enough but were bare and impersonal.
- Dumitru-stelica (6/5): I don't recommend unless you have no other option. - The lady at the reception was nice and spoke good English! There was a single socket in the entire room. No place to store the luggage.
