    Only one bathroom

    It's a very cute house in the centre of the town with amazing interior designs, which I really loved. The rooms are spacious and the kitchen and communal are is really good. The host Juan is so welcoming and an amazing cook!

    There is only 1 shower (two toilets) for all the guests which for some people is a problem. I am used to share living and only ever had to wait a couple of minutes so it wasn’t a problem for me.

    This small guest house is so cosy, really felt like home for a few days. Such a lovely host and chill vibe. Very central but on a quite street.

    The walls are quite thin so we could hear people arriving during the night. But nothing a pair of earplugs could not fix ;)

    Cozy Hostel with great atmosphere. Spacious kitchen and nice bathroom with super hot shower. The location is good- quite central in el Calafate so you can reach everything by foot.

    We had the pleasure of staying over Christmas and the host, Juan, put on an amazing traditional Argentinian BBQ for the guests. Cannot say anything bad about this place. Juan and his Trastienda Guest House made our Christmas away from home one we will never forget! Cannot recommend highly enough!

    Juan was amazing, really friendly and attentive! He gave us a lot of recommendations in el calafate as well. The guest house was clean, spacious, and felt very communal. The kitchen was fully equipped and there was a coffee machine as well. Garden was a nice outdoor space and Juan also hosted an amazing Asado! The location was great as well.

    Not that I didn’t like. Simply, one toilet/bathroom for the people we were (8) didn’t seem enough.

    It could be cleaner. One toilet in the hostel and it wasn’t cleaned very often. There were some dust balls.

    It’s a really cozy hostel. The kitchen was very well equipped. It was warm and super comfortable. The owner is nice and we felt good there.

    The room was cold( no heaters in the room). We couldn’t lock the room doors so need to take valuable stuff with us all the time we left the place. Our last night there was a loud party downstairs till 4:00 am, I didn’t sleep the whole night, not so nice especially when you need to work the next day.

    The place is fine, nice livingroom downstairs, kitchen and dining room for guests.

    Hipster house to share space and stories with other people

    The house is for about 15 people, but there is only one bathroom, so this could be an issue if the house is full.

    It’s a cosy house great for group of friends (it you are 6 you could share one room together) There is a lot of shared place which everyone could use - kitchen, living room. Location is great, just 3-4 minutes from the main street with restaurants and shops. If you are with rent a car it’s easy to find a parking spot. Juan is very responsive and if you have any issues in the house he take care very quickly. Last night we had a barbecue organised from Juan (we payed for it), he is great chef, so we enjoyed a night in a company of all house guests and some friends of him.
