America Del Sur was the perfect place to stay for our adventures in Patagonia. The view from the shared common roo was amazing and the individual room was fantastic. The food was delicious and the staff was extremely helpful in scheduling tours, buses and other fun things for us to do.

Andrew

I am only upset that I wasn't able to book my room again when I go back to El Calafate! I was very happy with my stay and accommodations. I stayed in a a private room with private bathroom. Not only was the hostel great, the employees were so accommodating. My flight had been cancelled due to a storm in BA so I was two days late for my reservation. They accommodated me, was able to push my reservation to a later date and not charge me extra. After such a horrible experience of getting out of Buenos Aires, it was so nice to have people here who cared for my accommodations and comfort. Also, I highly suggest the Perito Moreno tour ($1800 + $800 (entrance fee)). I did the evening tour and we saw the most amazing sunset on the mountains and glacier!

The staff always had a smile on their faces and greeted us warmly. They always made sure we were having a good time and offered tips or advice on things we could do or how to make our plans easier.

The view at the lobby, where you can look over the lake of Argentina, is amazing! The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the staff were very friendly and helpful. We had a great stay there.

Best hostel in south of Argentina! The hostel has such a good vibe, they staff is simply amazing( chef, guys at the front desk, housekeepers, even the dogs lol) photos of hostel doesn’t make justice, 👉wood ceiling, big crystal windows, chimney for cold days) warm dorms so you may have to open the windows in winter and summer lol, food they serve is great, theres a bar with reasonable prices. Storage room in case you need to leave you bags if you want to do some activities during the day. Outlets next to your bed and also light, nice view, good music 🎶 nice common areas.

It was too hot which meant I couldn’t sleep so hardly had any sleep for 3 nights. This is why I gave poor rating for comfort as it was very uncomfortable temperature for sleeping.
Lovely view. Helpful and friendly staff and bar staff.

It's a double edge sword, the heated floors are great if it's really cold, but since they are on nonstop and in your room the rooms get very hot and it's people opening and closing the windows all night.
The staff were great and helpful, the common area is real nice, good view and Location, and the sold food is good but a little pricey.

Our friends recommended that we stay here so we booked a double room with mountain views. The room was small but comfortable and we really enjoyed our time there. The staff were so nice and gave us excellent restaurant recommendations for restaurants (we loved Mako!), helped us book a tour of Perito Merino as well as other travel. Two thumbs up!

-STAFF: there is something that I did not like about the staff, which was that they were uninformed about some routes, buses and activites and they did not help on some of my queries.
+LOCATION: it’s pretty close to the main street in Calafate. +FACILITIES: the rooms and bathrooms are super clean and the living room is cozy and welcoming. There are plenty of young travellers, and ideal to meet people from all over the world. There is a bar and every night there is a Parrillada. Some nights there is live music.

The breakfast was only bread and cereal. No idea on the good reviews for breakfast but it wasn't. They said 'maybe' they do eggs or more in higher season. The shower in the hostel rooms is very tiny and no room to change there.
Great view. Good common area. The food / bbq was good. Very helpful staff.

In the first night, some guests were a little loudy and the door that separates the rooms from the comum area was not enough to block it. I would ask for a room in the end of the corridor next time, but it doesn´t change the fact that I would stay there again. About the dinner, the meat is really good, but too expensive even for El Calafate patterns.
The private room was excelent, clean, the black out was perfect and it was extremely clean and new. Beds are confortable. We made our reservations with them for Minitrekking and Estancia Cristina for a good price. The view is stunning and it´s good to have a glass of wine looking at that! We got a good price when we made our reservation.

A bit noisy as the hostel was full. My dorm had the wash basin, shower and closet right inside. :/
Great ambience, superb wifi, spacious and clean, nice BBQ. They have everything you'll need for a comfortable stay in calafate. Value for money is great and the hostel is very well designed and artistic. It's truly for backpackers and the view from the backside is amazing. The breakfast was also very satisfying and they pay a lot of attention to the details
