“Amazing hostel!”
This hostel is amazing. They clean everyday and make your beds! The kitchen is always clean and well stocked with cooking utensils. It is very well organised! Right in the centre of town, easy to walk to either end. Lots of restaurants close by and a couple of shops.

“Great place for walking in El Chalten”
Big room, basic but adequate. Moderate breakfast- you need to ask for egg! Helpful staff and can leave baggage on last day while walking. A taxi ride from the bus station if you have cases

“Basic room”
The staff was really helpful and friendly, with the exception from one person on our last day who completely misunderstood what we said (we had left our packed breakfast at 6am to pick it up at 6pm upon our return from Laguna de los tres but he somehow misunderstood/didn't pass the message and our food was thrown away). The room was big. We didn't use the kitchen but that's a bonus point if you are on a budget. Communication pre-checkin was also very good and efficient. Comfortable bed (not so much the pillow)

The hostel is located close to the entry of the park. You have to almost go through all El Chalten to get there from the bus station, this walk took me some 20 minutes. The hostel is pretty big. I stayed in shared room and we had own bathroom with separate toilet for 6 people. I liked that you got a key for locker from the hostel. The room itself was spacious. Next to each bed were plugs. Moreover there was a restaurant below, so you could order a beeakfast, or eat dinner in the evening with 10% of discount.

It was really clean, our 6 bed dorm had also private bathroom so we didn’t need to wait for showers or toilet. Staff were nice, helpful and full of info. They clean the room and make beds daily. Good position not far from the bus station and hiking trails. Big lockers in the room, well equipped and big kitchen area.
