Really friendly staff and the location close to the bus station was extremely convenient for us travellers using the bus to and from el chalten! The room was also spacious for staying a few days and recuperating from all the hiking.

“Great place to stay for a hiking in El Chalten. Would gladly come back”
The breakfast was amazing and served by a lovely owner at the table. The rooms had all the essentials you needed, small fridge and a cettle which was a big plus. We found it a great value for money and you are well taken care of by this family business (not always evident in the town). The location is close to the bus stop so when you go with the luggage you don’t have it too far.

Our stay in Kau Si Aike was wonderful! I can only recommend this place. The location is amazing, very close to the bus station (which is very handy) and to the beginning of the main Street of El Chalten. Supermarket and great restaurants are in the corner. It’s also well located to start all the hikes! But what makes it really special are Patricia and both Nicolas! Very nice and kind people who give everything they can to keep the guests comfortable and happy. The breakfast is amazing, all home cooked! Best ruibarbo marmalade I’ve ever had. Thank you Patricia and Nicolas for making our stay so nice.

Patricia is the sweetest host ever! She made us feel very welcome and gave us great recommendations. The room is quite large, and the location is great, only ~10 minute walk from the bus station and near many restaurants, shops and cafes. Breakfast had a good variety and they also serve an early breakfast at 7.15 for those who will start their hikes early. Heating, hot water and wifi all work great!

The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. They guided us on the weather and helped make a plan for each day. It was perfectly located with a view of fitz. Near the supermarket and nice restaurants. Very comfortable facilities, beds and it was very clean. Breakfast was excellent setting us up for the day. Also a lovely place to relax.
