Guest Reviews
- Juan José (5/5): Regular, regular. - Habitación no limpia. Todo un tanto viejo Y desangelado.
- Ana Karina (10/5): -
- Luis (7/5): - Las recepcionistas muy atentas y predispuestas en todo momento. La calefacción estaba muy fuerte y era sofocante estar en la habitación. Tuvieron que apagar el radiador para que pudiera dormir. El desayuno, muy básico.
- Gaviria Acero (9/5): -
- Fernanda (9/5): Nos sentimos em casa! - Equipe muito atenciosa!
Nos indicou pontos para visitar e sempre foi muito solícita!

- Balint (7/5): Okay, but there is room for improvement - Room is clean and size is good. Bathroom is nice as well. Bed is comfy, but short. No trashbin, really hot room, radiator could not be adjusted. Sound isolation is really bad. Breakfast is not really good. There are bread which feels like it would be 5 days old, no toaster to "improve" them.
- campos (8/5): - Cafe da manha bem fraco
- Pinkasfeld (10/5): -
- Claudio (10/5): -

- Janik (8/5): -
- Franz (10/5): - cooles Hostel! nahe gelegen zu den Wanderrouten- ultra liebes Personal! Frühstück evtl verbessern
- Sue (7/5): Great location to get to the treks. - The location was great for us, and the staff very helpful when we enquired about transport to Rio electric. Loads of hot water for the shower and good heating to dry out our wet gear. We were on the ground floor and it was very noisy. Both from the room above and other guests entering the building at night.

- Portillo Arguello (10/5): -
- Sarah Adjanohoun (10/5): - Chambre agréable et bien chauffée ce qui fait du bien après une longue randonnée :)
Petit déjeuner simple et bon.
Transfert à la gare de bus à 2h30 du matin organisé facilement et efficacement. Difficulté à avoir de l'eau chaude pour la douche le premier soir lais aucun souci le deuxième
- Carmen (5/5): Appena passabile - La posizione è ottima e il personale è molto gentile e disponibile. Gli spazi comuni sono carini. La stanza era piccola e sporca. Il rubinetto del bidet non funzionava e non si poteva regolare il termostato del termosifone per cui si moriva di caldo. Il copriletto era sporco ho chiesto la sostituzione e lo hanno sostituito con un altro altrettanto sporco. La finestra aveva una tenda altrettanto sporca e sui vetri c’erano delle mosche morte. La pulizia, il termosifone regolabile, il bidet funzionante.
- Susan (7/5): Good location. Helpful staff. - Location was great. Staff very nice and helpful. Accommodations were more basic than I expected. Looked different from the pictures. Breakfast was very basic.
- Ricardo (8/5): Muy buena opción de alojamiento! - La atención del personal!

- Patricia (9/5): Great value for money. - Spacious, comfortable room; very clean, excellent shower. Great central location. It had more of a small hotel vibe than hostal and was very quiet, especially since it was on the main road. Good breakfast. Excellent value for money. Disappointed that there was no hair dryer - given that it's a chilly, windy destination.
- Monique (6/5): Reasonable but not more than that - The room was spacious but partly because the beds are quite narrow.
I read the reviews complaining of noise but I didn’t experience this at all (perhaps because we were in the upper floor)
El Chalten is very expensive and this hostal is priced more or less reasonably. I guess if you’re paying cheap you can expect cheap.
The beds are 80 cm wide, narrower than a standard single bed, and quite hard.
The breakfast was so stingy it was almost hilarious: one toasted baguette from previous day and sharing one butter and one creamcheese and some jam and slice of cheese between 2 people. There is more old factory bread but no toaster. I wanted to take a slice of cake from breakfast as a snack and the receptionist almost had a heart attack.
The Booking fotos have a kitchen but only the ‘Loft’ room has a kitchen. The other rooms do not, also no water cooker or any kind of kitchen equipment.
After 4 nights we extended our stay and moved into an apartment (Airbnb). I recommend anyone to do this from the start.
- Ashleigh (10/5): We loved our stay, close to everything, including the start of the hikes. Lots of food around and the reception is very - Great spot close to all the local hikes. The shower was great after a day of hiking. Everything is walkable in the city including a short walk to and from the bus station. It was great to be able to open the window fully and get some fresh air (which included a lovely cat coming to our window during our stay which we loved!) We liked everything. Little issue with payment at the beginning but it was sorted out quickly by the reception who were great.
- Graeme (8/5): Nice place to stat in El Chalten. - The property was located centrally. The breakfast was basic.
- Andrey (10/5): - Clean. Good. Good breakfast.
I would like to thank the people who work there. They are very polite and helpful. Always ready to assist. We lived next to the dining room. In the morning, people start gathering for hikes and it gets a little noisy.
- Adam (7/5): - All good. The payment wasn't clear, I was charged in ARS, although it was meant to be in USD. Also I'm not sure the VAT was exempted or not. Breakfast was ok.
- Kieran (3/5): Smells horrible, dozen of flies, staff dishonest didn’t give me my change - Central location. The room smelled awful and had dozen of large black flies. I also paid cash at check-in and the staff said they didn’t have change but would give it to me later. I asked again that evening and was told it would be ready in the morning. I explained I had an 8am bus. In the morning, the change still wasn’t ready. It wasn’t a large amount, but it felt dishonest, like they stole from me. They never had the change and never intended to give it back
- Luisa (8/5): - - gutes Frühstück
- Bequemes Bett
- äußerst freundliches und hilfsbereites Personal
- wir durften nach dem Checkout unsere großen Rucksäcke in einem Zimmer stehen lassen und sie nach der Wanderung abholen - kein starker Duschstrahl
- viele Fliegen, die Nachts jedoch kein Geräusch machen
- Christian (8/5): -
- Ginevra (5/5): Passabile, ma molto ben posizionato - La posizione La camera era abbastanza piccola e senza vista. Appena si aprono le finestre, la camera si riempie di mosche.
- Milena Ivana (8/5): -
- Alessandro (9/5): Perfetto! -
- Benoit (9/5): Excellent - Endroit accueillant, possibilité de déposer son sac lorsqu'on arrive en pleine journée
Chambre propre, agréable
Le petit déjeuner était bien
Bon rapport qualité/prix Je n'ai pas trop aimé la qualité du lit
- Scocozza (10/5): - Todo excelente y el personal muy amable
- María Alejandra (10/5): - Una hermosa vista para desayunar , buen desayuno , atención del personal muy bien en el trato y predisposición
- Zayexzha (10/5): 100% confortable, todo limpio, todo bien pensado, me encantó - Todo, simplemente hermoso, todo bien pensando en el departamento y muy cómodo Nada, porque todo me gustó
- Carolina (8/5): - La predisposición del personal fue excelente, la ubicación es muy buena porque está cerca a los senderos y la limpieza bien. El wifi andaba excelente. Podrían mejorar el desayuno con opciones con huevo o agregar más fruta. El desayuno estuvo bien pero puede mejorar dado que el pueblo está pensado para caminar todo el día en la montaña.
- Roman (8/5): - Good place Breakfasts could be improved
- Aurelija (6/5): -
- Carolina (10/5): -
- Elisabetta (6/5): Discreto per un soggiorno di una notte - Staff molto gentile e disponibile, struttura al centro del paese, vicina all’inizio dei punti di escursione Molto costosa in rapporto ai servizi offerti

- rabarbarkas (10/5): - Przestronny pokój, dobre i sycące śniadania, bardzo pomocny personel. Ciepła woda i wygodne łóżko, doskonałe połączenie po trudach wędrówki. Świetna lokalizacja.
- A.R. (7/5): -
- Liana Filgueira (8/5): - Gostei muito do quarto porque tinha uma banheira, excelente para usar depois das trilhas. A localização é excelente e o atendimento também. O café da manhã foi razoável.
- Vito (2/5): Una decepción - Nada recepcionista improvisada y grosera.
Desayuno pobre y de muy baja calidad.
Habitación vieja y sucia.
Muy desaconsejable!
- Giulia (7/5): Pratico per poche notti - La posizione: quando si scende dall'autobus con le valigie appresso è un po' scomodo ma almeno non c'è da camminare molto saranno 10 minuti; il sentiero si prende ad altri 10 minuti di camminata dall'osteria.
La colazione è piccola ma abbastanza completa: servono prosciutto cotto, formaggio, yogurt, acqua, latte freddo e latte caldo, caffè, acqua calda per il the, cornflakes classici, fette di torta fatta in casa, pane. Al tavolo ti portano del pane tostato e a parte una ciotolina con il formaggio spalmabile e una con la confettura di frutti di bosco e il burro normale a parte in bustina. Il phon lo si chiede alla reception.
I letti hanno un materasso con le molle, di consistenza morbida. Se avete freddo durante la notte, trovate una coperta ulteriore dentro l'armadio.
Il bagno è piccolo, ma ha tutto.
- Jill (9/5): Would definitely recommend and we are on our 10 place in South America - Very nice location clean room and good breakfast compared with others we have had on travels Chairs scrapping on floor in first breakfast sitting meant we were always awaken-
- jacqueline (8/5): - El alojamiento es muy comodo pero sencillo. El desauno estaba basica. El peronal muy amable y las instalaciones muy limpios.
- CLAUDIA VERONICA (9/5): - El personal muy amable. Desayuno sencillo pero rico
- Warren (10/5): I always love staying at El Alamo, as my stay is always clean, secure and friendly. - Exceptionally clean, central location with great views and fantastic staff, especially Alvaro and Delfina. All good.
- Luke (9/5): Super friendly staff and an amazing location - Super friendly and helpful staff, really went above and beyond to help make our stay great
- Luke (9/5): Super friendly staff and amazing location -
- Ana (10/5): - Localização muito boa, o staff é bem receptivo. Cheguei da trilha com o joelho doendo e perguntei se havia gelo, foram prontamente procurar. A estadia foi ótima e ficaria novamente. O quarto estava com teia de aranha no teto e o travesseiro é um pouco desconfortável.

- Benitez (10/5): - La atención del personal,todos los recepcionistas nos atendieron súper amables, dándonos lugares recomendables para comer,pasear, ir de excursión,nos asistieron con todo lo que le solicitamos,muy predispuestos y atentos Nada para agregar
- Daniel carlos (8/5): -
- Rosana (8/5): Volvería. - La calidez de Juan Ignacio , quien te recibe y te hace sentir entre amigos. Excelente atención! La habitación asignada tenía una panorámica de....una pared vecina! Una pena... Porque me sentí muy cómoda pero no pude apreciar el paisaje desde la habitación.
- Camilo (10/5): - La ubicación es un punto central entre la estación de buses y todos los inicios para las diferentes rutas del pueblo. Los desayunos son muy buenos. Las instalaciones son muy cómodas, destacando la cama y la bañera que tienen, muuuy útil al final de un día largo de caminata. Tiene restaurantes muy buenos cerca y tiendas de todo tipo. Totalmente recomendado, volveré acá con más tiempo cuando decida reintentar la ida al monte fitzroy. Teniendo en cuenta que el clima es muy inestable, recomendaría contar con lavandería, así fuera adicional, sería excelente!!
- Maya (9/5): -
- Nerea (7/5): Excelente ubicación en El chalten - La ubicación
- EMMANUEL (4/5): Mitigé - La propreté, les personnes à l’accueil sont très gentils Le petit déjeuner , il n’y a vraiment pas grand chose
- Caccia (10/5): Genial - El personal super atento, el desayuno muy completo y rico y está ubicado a sólo unas cuadras del centro.
- Lourdes (8/5): Muy buena, recomendable. - La hostería está muy bien ubicada en el centro, es de fácil acceso y queda cerca de todos los locales.
La cama y la ducha muy buenas, lo cual es indispensable después de hacer trekking.
La atención de Álvaro y Delfina fue excelente y realmente dan ganas de volver. La limpieza de la habitación podría mejorarse.
Las cortinas de la habitación no llegan a oscurecer del todo la habitación, por lo que te obliga a despertar temprano al haber tanta claridad.
- Ornella (7/5): Esta OK - El personal es muy amable. Contestaron muy rápido a nuestras peticiones y nos ayudaron en lo que necesitamos. La ubicación está muy bien, estás en el centro de todo, cerca de restaurantes y las rutas. La habitación es bastante pequeña y más oscura de lo que se mostraba en fotos. El desayuno deja mucho que desear, es bastante escaso. Además las paredes no tienen muy buena insonorización y se escuchaban conversaciones/ruidos de las demás habitaciones.
- Carmen (10/5): Cozy atmosphere and amazing staff - I loved El Alamo and it would have been great to stay there for more nights. The room was really nice and the bed super comfortable. The Hosteria is very cozy with beautiful common spaces, hot water and heating. The staff was amazing, very friendly and they gave very helpful tips for places to visit, eat and the hikes I was planning. The location was fantastic, right on the main road with the restaurants, but quiet in the night. It is also close to the bus station, I walked easily with all my luggage. The price value is excellent, I highly recommed this Hosteria.
- Vittorio (7/5): -
- Linda (10/5): - Great Location on the main road, the staff were the best. The heat in the room was not easy to control. it was very hot at times.
- Seongyong (10/5): - 매우 친절함

- Dyml (9/5): - Location and personal
- DaniKnoll (8/5): - Was a very nice and decent stay. Didn't have any views from the room except to the backyard. But the place is nice, friendly and more on the affordable side. El Chalten is very expensive. Also the location is great.
- JUAN FERNANDO (8/5): - Las camas no eran cómodas, una almohada extra y sábanas mas suaves, solucionarían el problema
- Joana (7/5): -
- Peternelj (8/5): -
- Gonzalez Moreno (10/5): Perfecta estancia para pasar tus dias en el Chaltén - El personal es encantador , te aconsejan de manera excelente en todo, nada mas llegar me estuvieron mirando el pronóstico del tiempo para ver a que horas y dias hacer las rutas, me dejaron dejar las maletas alli para poder aprovechar el dia y cuando llegara hacer el cheking y cualquier duda que me fue surgiendo me la resolvieron siempre con una sonrisa.
