One of the top 3 hostels during my 6 months travelling. It's really clean, the beds are comfortable, there are enough showers and toilets and now, at the beginning of autumn they are using floor heating. The kitchen is spacious and also clean, plus breakfast is included (scrambled eggs, bread, fruits, cake, jam, coffee/tea/juice and cereals). There is a big communal area. The location is good. It's near the bus terminal, but the city centre and the supermarket are easily reached on foot.

- location close to the center ( could be scary for some people in the night as it’s sort of dark to walk to the center, lights are few ) but never had any problem - very clean , bathrooms very clean - staff very polite , very informative

Brilliant stay at this hostel!

Brilliant hostel in El Calafate! A short walk to the centre of town and very, very short walk to the bus station. The room was a good size and comfortable and the facilities were excellent - The kitchen had everything you needed and it was able to have quite a lot of people preparing food at the same time, the toilets/showers were always clean and well stocked and the shared space was comfortable. The staff here (especially Franco) were super kind and helpful!

Stayed twice!

Location perfect - few minutes walk from the bus station, and about 5-10min walk to main street "downtown". Staff was responsive and helpful. Rooms were clean and lots of storage space.
