The heat was up too high overnight

The price is best in Calafate, good position near main street and supermarket. About 20min walk from bus station . Unfortunately they'd left the heater on waaay too high and we were all sweltering but the next morning they turned it down. I'd stay here again definitely.

Very loud the walls are very thin. We stayed next to the kitchen in the private room and could hear every conversation in the kitchen.

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.

Bed wasn't the most comfortable & we found the kitchen closing times in the middle of the day a little limiting - but can't argue the value for money!

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.

The equipment of the kitchen are old and there is not much compare to the number of guests. In despite of a warm welcoming, the hosts try to sell you all the tours and tickets and take a commission on. So you understand why there are so welcoming and try to know all of your plans. An unconfortable feeling.

The proximity with the bus terminal and center area. The rooms and bathroom are clean.

The noise from the young people having fun.

We liked the location. A short walk to downtown and a short walk to have breakfast at Don Luis (a great bakery) recommended by the great staff

The Wi-Fi is very weak and sometimes doesn’t work, the hot water in the shower takes a while but there are hot water. The shower is for All the dormitories to share but that wasn’t a problem

The hostel is clean and comfortable, the kitchen is well aquipped and the staff is very helpful. Me and my boyfriend asked to be in the same dormitory and they arranged it with no extra charge.

Couldn’t use my charger because the bed was to close to it, and couldn’t move the bed because of the cupboard at the other end. Wasn’t a massive issue though!

Well equipped kitchen and very helpful staff

Excellent customer service! - Fernando offered and organised a taxi for us from the airport to the hostel. Elal staff were always available to help us and give us recommendations. Great location - walking distance to the cbd. Comfortable facilities and hot showers.

Not enough electric sockets in the room, no lockers which made it a bit crowded.

Nice staff, good kitchen, comfy beds, good location

Great location. Friendly staff. Well stocked kitchen with dinning area. Wifi worked great in common spaces but a little bit less in our room. Little outside patio. Great place to meet other travellers.

Bedrooms bit soulless

Can’t remember his name but the male staff was really friendly who greeted us. Decent location not far from centre. Nice big kitchen.

We didn't like the quiet hours of the hostel - the quiet hours start only at 23:30 and as we were in a room neighboring kitchen, even with earplugs it was difficult to manage a good sleep when people were enjoying dinner (i.e. waking up for Perito Moreno trip as 6AM).

The staff is super friendly, the location is super close to the canter of Calafate, shop is nearby, kitchen equipped. If you rent a car for a trip, it can be easily parked outside. Wi-Fi worked well.

This is the only hostel/hotel I've stayed in that has required payment to store luggage - and we only needed our luggage to be stored for a few hours. We stayed in the room next to the kitchen which meant it was quite noisy during peak hours. This wasn't an issue for us as the kitchen area was closed by the time we were ready for sleep but may be an issue for people who wish to sleep before 11pm. The central heating in my room was much too warm for me (in November) so I had to keep the window open a little. Not a criticism, but a heads-up to others who may be sensitive to heating.

The room was clean and comfortable. Hostel staff were helpful and friendly. Bikes were available to hire which saved us a walk into town a few times.

Depends on room, mine was close to the kitchen and I could hear noises in the morning and evening (but not at night). I was waking up early anyway so wasn't bad but if someone wants to sleep longer then it would be difficult.

Hostel is located 10min walk from main street and big supermarket. Staff was very friendly. Well equipped kitchen. Small, cosy room. There was always warm in the room.

There was no information anywhere saying you needed to pay in cash, no cards are accepted which can be an issue unless you bring dollars or euros to change. At least you could change them at the property for a good value

Had a shared kitchen so great if you were interested in cooking. Bathroom to share among 2 rooms only in addition to other available bathrooms.

Our room was a little bit noisy with the guests coming in and out at night/ in the morning.

Friendly staff, very close to the main street of El Calafate and the Lago Argentino.

Minimal facilities, key system for bathroom is a pain as no other way to close door, no proper mirror.

Nice staff, easy access to downtown.

The first room we had was perfect, the second (room 4) was quite noisy from the kitchen upstairs and the reception but a part from that all good :)

We stayed here twice and had a great time. Very warm, lovely and helpful team working there, kitchen to use etc. comfy beds and hot water.

Our room was located very well but some others were really close to the kitchen or bathroom Just one shower for many rooms

Nice staff, English speaking Good located, walking distance to town + bus terminal, felt safe in this area

The only thing that didn't go well was booking my bus from Calafate to El Chalten. I had one of the receptionists do it for me, letting her know I was traveling TWO DAYS out, not the next day. She made the reservation for me and said it was for the date I wanted. I paid her for it as well. Welp, I arrived at the bus station the day I was supposed to travel only to find out the ticket was booked for the day before (what I explicitly stated several times I did NOT want). So I lost my ticket and had to pay for another one right there on the spot. I essentially double paid... Moral of the story: ASK FOR YOUR VOUCHER. I didn't insist on having the receptionist send me mine, and I trusted that the intermediaries booked my ticket correctly. Or just don't bother booking via the hostel and either do it online or right there at the bus station if you're traveling during off season (arrive 30 mins early).

Great location, comfy beds, hot showers. Everything you need for a nice stay in Calafate. There were some complaints about noise from the kitchen in other reviews, but I found my single room was far enough away from the kitchen to not affect my sleeping.

Perfect for my stay,good price considering how expensive the whole town has become. Felt safe as a women traveling alone and the area felt safe,easy short walk to the main high street. Used the hostel as a base for trips,the front desk was very helpful with suggestions and recommendations.
