“Great hostel in el calafate”
This is a solid hostel just 5 min walking distance from the city center. We loved the location as it was well settled between the bus station and the city center. The community kitchen is great, comfortable, warm and well equipped. The room (private twin) was big enough to have space for all of our stuff. We ended up checking in super super late as our bus from Rio Gallegos was held off by police for several hours- we arrived at 2:30 AM in the hostel. Although this was way beyond their check in time we managed to check in in the middle of the night. This was absolutely amazing and totally saved our day/night.

“Great hostel, with a nice social space”
Great hostel, with a nice communal kitchen/dining area. Good shower/toilet facilities. Loved the verandah at the front, which was a great place to sit and enjoy a drink in the evening. we would happily stay again. Nice size room,with a comfy bed, some close by restaurant and supermarket and a short walk into the lovely town.

This was just an overnight stay as I had previously visited El Calafate & wanted to be near the bus station. On arrival discovered the restaurant I wanted to go to was across the road, Morrison where I had an excellent meal.

“Great and convenient hostel to stay - would and will stay again!”
Staff are wonderful and friendly, it's close to town to walk and we had a gorgeous room with our own kitchen and bathroom which felt like a huge bonus given how expensive El Calafate is. Our apartment was spacious, clean and we're looking forward to staying again when we get back from El Chaten!

We liked the receptionist guy. He told us everything we needed to know. The location is also great. Just a few minutes away from the town and 1.5km from the main Bus Station. Bed was also very cozy and comfortable. Very good for short stop overs.

Great hostel with excellent staff who were amazingly helpful but also just great people to chat to. The hostel is super close to the supermarket (which is has reasonable prices) and the shared kitchen is well equipped for cooking. The hostel is also close to the bus station so the location is simply ideal.
