Nice hostel, well located and the staff are very friendly. Helped with booking tours and proactively made breakfast earlier to accommodate tour departure times which is a nice touch.

Amazing people and atmosphere, amazing location and just feeling at home right away!

The people are amazing, the ones working but also the people staying. Very nice atmosphere, very very helpful, especially Mati at the reception! The location is amazing and watching the sunrise or the beach from the kitchen balcony is so nice. Also the breakfast was really good!

A fantastic hostel for a world class town.

We had the most wonderful stay at Chepatagonia. The staff are amazing, so helpful in organising well-priced tours and helping us get what we wanted. Mattie was very patient with my endless questions. The location could not be better, you can see whales from the kitchen at breakfast. Our room was very comfortable, clean, and warm. Thank you so much for your kindness and hospitality.

Best hostel I've ever been to. Super helpful and friendly staff. Everything is always very clean. Enough space in the room with lots of storage space for luggage and very comfortable beds. Easy to meet people. Nice courtyard where you can spend time. The kitchen and the common room are well equipped. Good breakfast (the cookies are to die for!). Great location, practically right by the sea. Restaurant, bars and laundry nearby. They also offer various tours and activities. I was there for 5 nights and would have loved to stay longer. Thanks for the great stay!

Great place near the beach, friendly staff, good for solo travelers

Staff members are very nice and help with all questions. They organized an excursion to the peninsula Valdes for us as well as snorkeling with sea lions - a highlight of our trip for sure. We saw so many animals and the landscape is amazing. The hostel itself has the vibe to meet new people, since the common areas are big and comfortable. Perfect for solo travelers. It is also very close to the beach and has a nice balcony. As a plus, there are 3 very cute dogs that will greet you!

Once you enter the hostel you are automatically welcomed by a crumpy but at the same time friendly dog, the staff receives you and explains everything you want and need about the area and its surroundings. Volunteers, employees, and owners are all extremely friendly. You will find yourself eating empanadas or asado with them right after finishing your check-in. The hostel is super chill, and has rules like "kitchen close at 11 pm" but if you are not a moron and know how to behave, they will let you do whatever you want at whatever time. Cleaning is done daily, even the dog brights! PS: One of the best breakfasts I've ever had in a hostel (they have free Tabasco).

A charming hostel which has character!

The staff was really helpful, polite and caring. Lots of appreciation for the friendly atmosphere they manage to create! I also took a trip to Punta Tombo with them, which I really enjoyed. I’d totally recommend ChePatagonia :)

Great stay in Puerto Madryn

Great place to stay in Puerto Madryn and the staff is amazing! I had to leave earlier because of a change in my schedule, and the staff helped me a lot to look for things to do in Puerto Madryn. Thank you! The co-working place is also very nice.

Chepatogonia and the very lovely people I met there will always have a special place in my heart.

The staff were excellent and very helpful in all aspects. They made time and effort to help me book flights, figure out my itinerary, and even helped me with my phone issues haha. If I ever return to Argentina, I will surely look to book with chepatogonia hostel in puerto madryn.

Excellent hostel and helpful staff

One of the best hostels we've stayed in on our 3 month trip. All of the staff were friendly and helped us with tours and reccomendations of places to eat etc. Hostel is clean, well equipped, safe and has a good breakfast. Highlight of our stay was going to see penguins at Punta Tombo with the hostel owner and people staying in the hostel too.
