    Best hostel I've ever been to. Super helpful and friendly staff. Everything is always very clean. Enough space in the room with lots of storage space for luggage and very comfortable beds. Easy to meet people. Nice courtyard where you can spend time. The kitchen and the common room are well equipped. Good breakfast (the cookies are to die for!). Great location, practically right by the sea. Restaurant, bars and laundry nearby. They also offer various tours and activities. I was there for 5 nights and would have loved to stay longer. Thanks for the great stay!

    The excursions are a bit expensive, this is nothing that the hostel can influence since they work with an agency and they all have the same prices, but still important to mention. The hostel itself could have organized some more activities, I had read online that they organize an asado a couple times per week but unfortunately that didn’t happen. I would still recommend the place though.

    Staff members are very nice and help with all questions. They organized an excursion to the peninsula Valdes for us as well as snorkeling with sea lions - a highlight of our trip for sure. We saw so many animals and the landscape is amazing. The hostel itself has the vibe to meet new people, since the common areas are big and comfortable. Perfect for solo travelers. It is also very close to the beach and has a nice balcony. As a plus, there are 3 very cute dogs that will greet you!

    Once you enter the hostel you are automatically welcomed by a crumpy but at the same time friendly dog, the staff receives you and explains everything you want and need about the area and its surroundings. Volunteers, employees, and owners are all extremely friendly. You will find yourself eating empanadas or asado with them right after finishing your check-in. The hostel is super chill, and has rules like "kitchen close at 11 pm" but if you are not a moron and know how to behave, they will let you do whatever you want at whatever time. Cleaning is done daily, even the dog brights! PS: One of the best breakfasts I've ever had in a hostel (they have free Tabasco).

    The staff were super friendly and helpful with everything. Maty and Fedico were wonderful. They helped me plan my activities and gave me directions to places I wanted to visit. The kitchen facilities were fine and the breakfast was decent. There are many places to hang out and have your own space if you need it. They happily had breakfast ready early when I had to make an early tour. It is also located right across the street from the beach, which was nice. Close to many restaurants too. As a bonus they spoke English which was very helpful to me, as my Spanish is not very good.

    One of the best hostels we've stayed in on our 3 month trip. All of the staff were friendly and helped us with tours and reccomendations of places to eat etc. Hostel is clean, well equipped, safe and has a good breakfast. Highlight of our stay was going to see penguins at Punta Tombo with the hostel owner and people staying in the hostel too.

    Excellent location next to beach. My favorite cafe Casa Hulpe and favorite dinner restaurant Cantina el Nautico are both within a block away. The hostel has a nice outdoor courtyard and an indoor living room area. They also have a shared kitchen upstairs. The breakfast is simple - toast, cereal, fruits, milk, tea and coffee. The shared bathrooms are clean. But the best part is the kindness of the owner Frederico and especially the amazing Matías. Matias is probably the most friendly, helpful person who made our trip special with his assistance. Matias speaks excellent English too. They can help with tour info, car rentals and taxis. I will happily return!

    Can't think of anything!

    I was delighted to find an affordable hostel right next to the beach. It has an assortment of indoor and outdoor areas in which to meet new people or to do some work, or just admire the views. It is a restful place, and the breakfast is ideal. The staff are all lovely. They're friendly, welcoming and very helpful, which for someone travelling alone, a bit injured, and not very good at Spanish made an enormous difference and enabled me to really enjoy my visit. I plan to return soon because it is an excellent base for this area.

    Beautiful hostel with very attentive administrators and staff. We really liked the location as we were 1 minute from the beach. Sometimes we saw whales right from the balcony! The hostel has a lot of common areas: 2 kitchens, a balcony, a workspace, clean bathrooms and a very cool BBQ area. On one of the days of our stay, the owners of the hostel cooked a Chorizo Barbecue for everyone. It was a very pleasant evening! Highly recommend this hostel and will definitely come there again when I'm in Puerto Madryn.

    Hostel location is great, just a few steps away from the beach and within walking distance from the bus station (a 15/20 min walk). Staff is super friendly and was very helpful; they can provide you with all the information you need to enjoy your stay in Puerto Madryn. It´s also possible to arrange activities and trips to tourist attractions at the reception desk. The hostel has a really nice and relaxed atmosphere. It is a super clean place, rooms and common areas are cleaned every day. The room I stayed in was spacious and had a locker with a key provided by the hostel. Nice breakfast (includes hot drinks, fresh fruits, two types of bread, jam, butter, yogurt, cereal, homemade cookies, etc.).
