Value for money, both room and bathroom was very large. The location was very close to the bus terminal but the pathway was too rough for wheeled luggage around last 50 meters to the hostel (Nov 2022).

The location was perfect. The hotel was literally fantastic! I seriously did not want to leave it was so welcoming and comfortable. I had hiked the O-Circuit in Chile and the hikes in El Chalten. When I got to the amazing town of El Calafate, I couldn’t believe how great it was. This town is like Whistler Village or Aspen without the pretentious. Mabra Suites is right off Main Street. I was literally exhausted and needed a place like this that was so deliciously comfortable but didn’t break the bank. Huge balcony off my room where I could relax and recover with a glass of wine after days of pushing myself!!Lovd it!

    The staff were really helpful and friendly and helped us to book a tour to the glacier with them for cheaper than we had found online, and a taxi to the bus station. The hostel was well maintained and very clean. They provided free coffee and some basic cooking items such as oil. The kitchen was very well stocked with utensils and crockery - perfect for us as we cooked all of our meals during our stay.

    Perfect location for the bus and not far from the centre of the town. Great helpful staff. Able to organise trips and buses to other destinations (they are also a tour company). Always being cleaned and shared kitchen for a hostel was very clean. Food box for guests to leave excess food for other guests to use. They responded immediately to a problem with a leak in the bathroom.

    This property was amazing. Such a great location, close to town and easy to get about both in the day and late in the evening. Very clean and lots of facilities in the kitchen to use which was great. Florencia is a fab host so helpful and friendly. When our flight was delayed she let us stay longer and we were very grateful!

    This hostel was very clean, to be honest I wasn't expecting much because it was the cheapest hostel I could find, but it was perfect for me. My only suggestion would be to say that it would be great to have a little shelf so if you are on the upper bunk you have somewhere to put your phone / wallet. The wifi was super fast and the kitchen was spotless. I'll definitely return.

    Ideal location near the Calafate bus station (5 mins walk up the road), I stayed for one night between coming in from Chalten and going on to Puerto Natales - on this basis I can fully recommend the hostel. It is comfortable, the staff are extremely friendly and accommodating (the welcome from the dog was an added bonus), and it is great value for money. Cheap and decent food in the evening (perfect after a bus ride), and solid breakfast in the morning.
