    It’s a shame you don’t get a view of Fitzroy from this end of town. The rooms would be pretty cramped if there were 3 people in them (they do try to spread you out, so probably season dependent). Not getting WiFi in the rooms could be an issue for some. There are bright lights on in the courtyard 24/7- bring a mask. There is only 1 comfortable sofa in the lounge (4 that no one sits on).

    Location was great for hike access & I liked the variety of restaurants @ this end of town & the supermarket is right there. It is about 15min walk from the bus station. I lucked out & had a 3-bed dorm to myself after sharing with 1 other for a couple of nights. Kitchen & common areas were light & fine. Generally quiet & respectful- since this is the only space that you can get the WiFi. Staff were very friendly.

    Welcoming – with nice beds and good wifi!

    The place wasn't cheap, but as I understand none of the places really are. The rooms were absolutely tiny, and I would have loved to stay in one of the family rooms instead of the 4sqm rooms. We were lucky that we were the only two people in a 4-person room for our 6 days staying there, as we wouldn't know where to put our bags, changed, packed, etc otherwise. It was also a super dark room. The kitchen was old, it was hard to manage the stoves, and it always had pretty dirty cloths for drying the utensils etc. People are not always good at cleaning either, but that is what you can expect from most hostel kitchens and I've seen worse. With everything I would still stay here again and it was a good place to meet and talk to fellow travellers.

    The staff was amazing, friendly and accommodating even though we could barely understand each other (but Google Translate and super basic Spanish always help!). It is a very basic hostel but with a big common area, though an upgrade of the sofas would definitely make it more cosy to hang out at. The kitchen was old but well equipped and people managed to make everything from extravagant Christmas food to basic lunches. The showers were OK as the water was hot. The bed was probably one of the most comfortable hostel beds we tried in Argentina, though the rooms are TINY. They accepted both cash and card and had a super fast laundry service for around 7000 pesos. El Chaltén is notorious for bad internet, but at least we had good wifi in the common room (but non-existent in the room). It was right next to a lot of good restaurants, cafes, a supermarket and the trails.

    Very weak wifi The small dorms are a bit gloomy in my opinion. Also doors can't be locked (which ended up being perfectly fine but was a bit of a surprise given that they are accessible from the outside of the hostel)

    Very well located next to the start of the hiking trails to the Fitz Roy Chill atmosphere Comfortable

    The staff don’t speak Spanish but friendly. The property is good if only one person stays in a room. If 2 people, I imagine it will be a little too tight.

    My first room had a strong smell of gas from the heater, although it was turned off. Very small rooms made it hard to store 3-4 large backpacks

    -bathrooms could be cleaner (spiderwebs on lamps and in corners of the shower) -super loud in the early morning because walls are very thin, people getting ready for their treks are loud in the common area and house cleaning starts early and with a lot of noise -not cosy: fewer tables and chairs in the dining room, would need some nice sofas for hanging out in the evenings -would be nice if there were garden chairs or hammocks in the garden or behind the dining room

    The dorms are tiny so when full it's very cramped. There is only one ladder for the top bunks which is very awkward, especially if you have to get down during the night when the ladder is on the other bed and you don't want to wake people.

    Lovely friendly and helpful staff. Common areas were excellent, plenty of space and seating. Kitchens were fabulous. Decent WiFi. Excellent location close to trails and a supermarket right across the street.

    Not a very considerate staff, we had a personal crisis and needed some assistance and the staff couldn’t care less, luckily some other travelers came through for us, bear in mind the most Argentinians are very nice people so that was very surprising. the rooms we’re very small.

    clean, good wifi - important in El Chalten, and a big and well equipped kitchen. The cleaning lady is very very nice we liked her a lot.
