Great, Great, Great El Gualicho

The staff are great, very helpful and available. The dorm was very spacious, and the bed was really comfortable. Everywhere was very clean, with nice common areas to sit and relax. The breakfast was simple, but good, with nice bread and plenty of everything. The location is handy for the beach and places to eat, and not far from the bus station. It actually feels like staying in a very relaxed hotel, but with a great price!

Nice place to stay in Puerto Madryn

The front desk staff are amazing. They are so helpful and understanding. You can ask them for tour advice and any questions, they are happy to help you. The location is very good. The hostel is cleaned daily. There is a lounge area with TV, a garden to relax in hammocks and a pool table.

A lovely hostel with a great atmosphere!

Had a lovely stay, staff were very friendly and accommodating with recommendations and booking excursions! Rooms were clean, lockers are available however some hooks need fixing which meant some lockers couldn’t be locked. The hammocks are cool if you fancy chilling out in the hostel!
