We were in a dorm room with an adequate bath, and adequate bunks. The breakfast was adequate as well. The staff was well informed and when they had to leave the front desk, they locked the front door!. They need to upgrade the computers. WIFI was adequate, but the monitors were from 2000. It's a short walk to town, but... More

This is a good hostel within walking distance to the main street at an excellent price for the town. Breakfast is somewhat costly and kitchen could use more equipment but have stayed 3 times and is my preference for El Calafate.

Stayed three nights at this hostel. Workers at front desk were very helpful with everything. Rooms are nice in that each one (four people) has its own bathroom. I usually cook my own food to save money and the kitchen had everything I needed. Breakfast in the morning wasn't great: bread, jam, and tea/coffee. Though that's pretty typical for Argentina....

If you want a hostel that lets people into your dorm room at 2 in the night, choose this one. If you are looking for a more respectful place, look elsewhere. Besides the unfriendly staff, the rooms are like cardboard boxes where you can hear the guy snore three rooms down. Prices for dorms /doubles were the highest we encountered... More

Definitely a good place to stay in El Calafate. There isn't much to do in El Calafate but for a two nights, this place is perfect. Well-situated, a 5 minutes walk from the center. The staff is nice and helpfull and the rooms are spacious with bathroom.

Noisy, can hear people began talking/yelling at each other from 7am. There were constant plumbing noise. I can even hear person in the next room using the hair dryer. Parts of the room seems to be new, eg. Tiling, but other parts seems to be really old and worn out. The room was cold for the two nights we stayed,... More

The rooms are nice here (we stayed in a private double) - which are closer to hotel standard than hostel. Spotlessly clean and decent location. However, the staff were professional, but don't expect a friendly, bubbly welcome. Also, we stayed in room 84 which was like a furnace as it is the first room on the 'under floor heating' loop....
