The staff was amazing, really helpful with trips recommendations, they gave me a whatsup number to assist me even after leaving the hostel. Really kind. The hostel has an amazing atmosphere, a lot of tourists. The bed is comfortable.

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.

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.

The location is not really so close to the center (because there is a canal and you have to cross a bridge about 100 meters from the hostel) Each room has its own restroom, the sink is in the beds area - a bit noisy and not comfortable.

Unfortunately the room was not clean at all. There was dust in the bathroom, a spiderweb in the window and there were hairs in the bed. The room was too hot, heating is nice, but when you cannot regulate yourself it is not convenient. Although that seems to be the way in Argentina.
Staff was friendly. Nice view. For local circumstances breakfast was ok.

“Nice hostel but bad practices- not budget backpacker friendly”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Stayed 2 nights

I booked the glacier mini trek for two with the hostel which is 6500 pesso each, there is only one company that provide the service so it's the same price everywhere but then I was charged an extra 4%, when i questioned it I was told a reason that changed the more information I asked for. Firstly it was a tax then it was a fee for using a foreign card then it was the charge the hostel has to pay for the use of the card machine then finally told it was a commission! Eventually they just gave me the 4% back. I asked them did they know if you went direct to the companies website you could book it and pay by card with no additional fee and they said yes but they dont pass that information on? Hostels are meant to be there to help backpackers save money not benefit themselves off an already expensive tour! Overall just left a bad taste. When paying for the room they used a 60 pesso to the dollar exchange even though online mine was showing 56, I asked to pay in dollars so I could get my own exchange rate but the guy at the counter said I couldn't, it was his first time checking anyone in but then when paying for food the pesso price on the menu was converted to pay in dollars and when I asked I could pay in either? Also they exchanged the dollar to 60 pesso when charging you but sold the pesso at 55 to the dollar on the same day? They change the practices to suit themselves and you feel like you are getting caught at every angle. Also girl behind the desk with the short hair is just rude, don't know if that was just to us after the 4% ordeal. All other staff are nice and helpful, even the girl that I was dealing with about the tour was nice about it, they just give mixed information which I'm sure is the hostels bad practices and they have to deliver them best they can.
It's a great hostel and I wouldn't let the above stop you booking just be wise to it and book the tour elsewhere! Nice hostel, clean, warm with great under floor heating, amazing views, loads of common space, good kitchen, good breakfast included, provide a packed lunch service for only 300 pesso.
