    Friendly staff, easy to book the glacier trip through. Good cooking facilities. Clean and very warm which was great considering it was freezing outside! Good location easy walk to the Main Street. Coffee was made every morning for the guests.

    Nice quiet hostel only 10mins walk from the main hub of town. Kitchen was pretty well equipped. The people working there were really helpful and we booked a trip to Perito Moreno with them for much cheaper than we'd seen online.
