We had a wonderfull stay at Trastienda Guesthouse! We felt just like home, with a warm atmosphere and good vibes. Juan is adorable. The house is cosy, the kitchen has everything, and the room is very nice. And a lot of original and thoughtfull design and decoration details. Great location a few minutes from the main street. We couldn’t hope for more for the beggining of our trip! Thanks again Juan!

Oké hostel

Loved the location, really easy to go into town. But far from the busstation tho. There’s one bathroom and an extra toilet for the whole hostel - it was kind of hard to get in line for it. We had a really nice check-in when we got invited for a diner in hostel, we thought it was free - as there was no mentioned of any cost, just be welcome and join. We got a bill afterwards of 70.000 pesos for the dinner. When we asked owner Juan about this, he gave us 50.000 back.

Cosy house and great host

This is a very cozy house, we really enjoyed our stay there. Juan is a great person, very welcoming and a great chef! The private room is upstairs in a building next to the main house, allowing good privacy. There is a small kitchenette in the room but we preferred to use the one in the main house which had everything you need. Location is pretty ideal

Cozy guest house for a fair price

It was a nice and cozy guest house, run a kind host. We had some miscommunication at first with the check-in, but it’s because we arrived very late. The kitchen equipment could be a bit cleaner and refreshed, but it was very nice to have access to fully-equipped kitchen to prepare your own meals, because eating out is very expensive. The rooms were fine, but when we came, it seemed that some beds were used and not cleaned after previous guests. The bathroom was very spacious and comfortable but a little bit dirty. Overall, it’s a very cozy place, centrally-located, with very cozy vibes, which needs a bit more care to be better organized and clean.

On balance a lovely place to stay; and would recommend to future guests

Juan was incredibly welcoming and made us feel very comfortable in his home which had a homely feel and board games for us to play. The location was excellent for reaching the main town. Overall, a lovely stay and excellent value for money.

Pleasant for a short stay in El calafate

Enjoyed our 2 night stay here. Nice kitchen to use with a very cute cat. Quiet location, but very close to the centre of town. Juan very friendly and kind.

Comfortable, clean and homely stay in the heart of Calafate

Super friendly staff, the place really felt like a home more than a hostel. Comfortable common area and nice, spacious, equipped kitchen. Bathroom was huge, shower was nice and rooms are spacious. The cat is super cute too!

Nice room and shower but very cold

We booked very last minute as our bus was cancelled and we needed somewhere to stay the night. The room was nice and lovely shower. But it was very cold.
