to get started.

We stayed here for 2 nights. The mattress and the pillows are not the best we’ve had but the bathrooms are clean. However, there are only 2 toilets and showers to be shared. I don’t really mind the curtains in the bathroom. This hostel is within walking distance to the Main Street with all the shops and restaurants. The WiFi is very spotty. One of the receptionist is super friendly and nice. Breakfast is not included.

The location is good!! The reception is helping with everything.

Check in was easy, friendly staff. Easily walkable from the bus station and good location near to the Main Street. Dorm rooms have shelves and hooks, beds were comfy and bathrooms were clean. Also a really nice garden out the back!

The rooms were very warm and comfortable. The breakfast was great. The host agreed to accept payment split in USD and Pesos as we ran out of pesos. It was a hassle free stay with a decent breakfast of coffee, milk, toast, jam, butter and nutella. There is a restaurant attached to the hostel which has great food including vegetarian options where people who stay at the hostel get a discount. No issues with parking

The staff, Franco, was very nice and helped us organize our trip to Perito Moreno and to Puerto Natales. The location of the property is good, right in the town center. The room was very small but functional and worked fine. Breakfast was ok.

Not a great place to stay. The rooms were small and had mould near the floorboards. Bathrooms were tiny and also had some mould. Even though they advertised taking credit card, when we got there they demanded cash and said their machine had been broken for over a month. Overall, poor value.

The owner needs to allow the workers a better space, if you wanted to use toilet paper you had to ask someone at the desk, this was fine but it's just more work for the hostel workers and a bit disrespectful to the people in the hostel.
Agustina the lady that worked at the hostel was amazing, she went above and beyond with every request. She made the stay.

You have to fetch the toilet paper from reception and take it back every time you go to the toilet. This was very annoying as at night there was no one on reception.
Staff were very friendly, it is in a good location 2 minutes from the Main Street. There is a nice common area.

Only 2 showers and toilets each (f/m). Should be cleaned and checked more often (no toilet paper in the morning). Tap in the inside kitchen did not work. The place has not a lot of character.
Good location.

Staff were unhelpful and didn’t inform us of many amenities, rules and facilities. Which left us locked out the property one night. Also made payment and general admin extremely difficult with no option to pay on card during certain hours (6pm - 11pm when check out and payment is 10am...)
Property was ok but the room was extremely small for 4 people and lacked adequate storage space. Breakfast was absolutely awful and WiFi was virtually non existent. When asking for assistance on many issues they did not help much

“Never again”

Well - we booked this hostel due to their good reviews - but it was horrible and i would not go back. The rooms are super tiny, the beds are laid through (even to lay on the ground is more comfy). As there is no space in the room there are lockers in the aisle, however most of them do not work. The kitchen is dirty. After having at the beginning only one working pan in a horrible tiny kitchen they moved the kitchen to a seperate building to dine and cook (full of dirt and the fridge is in the other building!! - this makes absolutely no sense). Most of the staff is unmotivated to work, unfriendly and not helpful. Most of the time there is no toilet paper, and the bins are that full that the trash is everywhere on the ground. Wifi is not really working and sometimes there is no wifi at all. Last but not least, the breakfast! No comments about it. Its not worth waking up for it. Don‘t do it. It‘s actually quite sad, if they would take care more about the hostel it would have a mot of potential.
- location is really good - only a few meters from the main street - the garden is nice - hot showers

“Disappointing”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Stayed 2 nights
We did not have a good experience. First there was a problem with our booking which made us have to switch rooms for one night. Instead of our private room with bathroom we had a double room with shared bathroom. Of course this is something that can happen and we were okay with it, but the bathrooms were not clean and the toilets have little doors that you can look over and under which makes no sense. Also I think we had bed bugs since we woke up in the middle of the night full of bites. Additionally, the hostel arranged a bus ticket for us. We checked this with them multiple times so we were very surprised when we got to the busstation and found out we did not have a reservation and everything was full. This made us have to wait for 6 hours for the next bus, which was more expensive and got us to our next destination in the middle of the night. Travelers trust that a hostel arranges things like this so this was very disappointing.
The private room with bathroom is nice and spacious and definitely worth it

This Hostel would have a lot of potential, unfortunately they don't turn this into value. Some of the reception staff are unfriendly and seem non interested in your plans or problems, especially if you don't speak spanish too well. The rooms a very small, the beds are laid through completely, wifi doesn't work most of the time and the bathrooms... Well I dont expect much from a cheap hostel, but this is below all standards. Flush doesn't work half time, no toilet paper and no one of the staff seems to care about. All in all the hostel feels left alone by its staff and its manager.
One of the receptionists is very friendly, not like the others. The restaurant next to it is quite nice but a bit overpriced. The lauch area is quite nice.
