Great location for visiting the glacier and also a convenient stopover when travelling to El Chaltén

Staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. Lovely garden area with rooms on two sides. Great location, just a few minutes walk from the 'downtown' area. For what we paid this place is a bargain! Breakfast, although simple was fine for the price. As a base for a short stay it is perfect. We stayed on two separate occasions and didn't regret it at all.

If the WiFi and breakfast were improved it would be a great place to stay.

Very convenient location on a quiet road but just off the main road. Great for walking everywhere. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Room was simple and quite basic but had everything I needed. Lots of hot water, hairdryer, heating etc. Bed comfortable. Rooms are situated in a pretty cute garden. Guests can use a lounge/conservatory area that looks out into the garden.

Great place, good value for money, friendliest staff

We stayed at this hotel twice during our trip. The price/quality ratio is excellent. The rooms are basic but clean, and everything you need is there. There is also a cozy garden and a comfortable living room area that guests can use. What really made the difference for us was the personal contact and hospitality. When we were unable to continue our journey due to strikes, this was the reason we decided to reach out to them. We kept in touch via WhatsApp, and as soon as a room became available, they immediately contacted us. Whenever we needed something, like arranging a taxi, they were always ready to help right away. We would definitely recommend this place!

Perfect for the price

The hostal is perfect for the price. The room and bathroom was spacious. The shower has good water pressure. The breakfast is simple but tasty. The location is right near the centre of town so easy to get around. I would recommend.

Wonderful character, great location and very helpful, friendly and welcoming team

We loved our stay here. We were made to feel so welcome by the receptionists Franco and Ignatio and all the other staff we met. They were so helpful in recommending tours and restaurants etc. The room was really comfortable. The walls are quite thin and so noise is an issue both of the other guests moving around and the funny birds in the garden but everybody got used to it quickly and were very respectful to each other. The restaurant is superb and we had wonderful service and such lovely food we went back to for dinner more than once and the breakfast is great. Again we were made to feel very welcome and treated really wonderfully by the restaurant staff (led by Camilla) and the lovely young lady who made our packed lunch for us twice. It is in a great location very close to the town centre and has a lovely atmosphere about it.

Really cozy place made it easy to relax and very convenient for all the town offers

Lovely cosy feel to the place. Great location so that it was relatively quiet to stay and rest, but also only a couple of blocks from the centre of town. Really good restaurants all around the area. Lovely courtyard provided a great environment and something I didn't expect. Shower pressure was great!!!
