“Great location to get to the treks.”
The location was great for us, and the staff very helpful when we enquired about transport to Rio electric. Loads of hot water for the shower and good heating to dry out our wet gear.

“Great value for money.”
Spacious, comfortable room; very clean, excellent shower. Great central location. It had more of a small hotel vibe than hostal and was very quiet, especially since it was on the main road. Good breakfast. Excellent value for money.

“We loved our stay, close to everything, including the start of the hikes. Lots of food around and the reception is very”
Great spot close to all the local hikes. The shower was great after a day of hiking. Everything is walkable in the city including a short walk to and from the bus station. It was great to be able to open the window fully and get some fresh air (which included a lovely cat coming to our window during our stay which we loved!)

The staff were friendly and helpful. The views from the lounge were fabulous. It was ideally located in the centre of town and only a 10 minute walk to the bus station. Everything was very clean.

Was a very nice and decent stay. Didn't have any views from the room except to the backyard. But the place is nice, friendly and more on the affordable side. El Chalten is very expensive. Also the location is great.
