It's just not worth the money, the breakfast does not cater to everyone, and they didn't offer alternatives. Very expensive restaurant. No atmosphere in the common space and very small rooms for 6 people. I wouldn't come back.
J’ai constaté que les prix étaient trois fois moins chers sur le moment. À l’accueil, la personne m’a sorti l’excuse du billet d’avion moins cher à la dernière minute. En plus de cela, la seule chose qui me paraissait bien était le ménage mais quand je me suis plainte pour le prix, le ménage n’a pas était fait dans ma chambre… sacré mentalité. J’ai aussi découvert que la chambre de 6 lits mixte était majoritairement occupée par des hommes, ce qui a rendu l’atmosph...
Staff are nice Its overpriced Rooms are tiny and beds are old, creaky and no ladder No single sex dorm
Genuinely overrated. To say the rooms are undersized is an understatement. The atmosphere was awkward. Wouldn’t recommend.
Headline: this is the most expensive hostel I've ever stayed in (50usd for a dorm). You are charged full price on hostelworld to ensure the hostel receives payment in dollars, so no blue dollar rate. I spoke at length with a member of staff about this (she was lovely) and she ultimately stated it was company policy, which is unsatisfying. Staff were wonderful, breakfast was great and views were superb. My review ultimately reflects the high cost and what I'd expect for that price in Argentina.
These guys charged my credit card without letting me know first and entered the incorrect CCTV, causing my bank to cancel my card immediately. Left travelling relying on my partner's card... Read the house rules prior to booking, they will force payment in USD meaning they are much, much more expensive in comparison to other local hostels. No apology or explanation provided for cancelling my card. Staff were helpful however rating on HW is way higher than deserved IMO. Pass on this one.
Arnaque sur le paiement où ils obligent à payer en euros par visa, ce qui double le prix mis sur hostelworld en pesos … Au sinon très belle vue, grande salle commune très fonctionnelle et douche indépendante à chaque chambre !
第一次住hostel, 真的不好的体验,主要是当我预定时,网络告诉我需要付8000peso 服务费给网站,其他60806 peso 付给 hostel, 但是当我确定订单后,系统发邮件告知: 网站随时会charge 我美元,但是我也不能更改我的订单,所以准备了60808的阿根廷钱,但是柜台不接受我付阿根廷钱,我与他们理论了很久,但是他们告诉我不能操作,it was really bad experience, first time in hostel. Please contact ...
This hostel is very overrated and overpriced. It is ridicously expensive for what you get. The food from the restaurant is not as good as what others have said and is close to double the price of restaurants in town, for lower quaility food. The hangout area is really nice but there was no atmosphere at all when we stayed, everyone was just staring at their phones. The staff are lovely, so is the dog and view, but I cant recommend this hostel with the prices as high as they are.
The only place that we stayed in all of Argentina that took advantage of the exchange rate. The price we paid was extortionate in comparison to what we expected to pay with the exchange. Could’ve stayed in a hotel instead of a dorm room for the price.

I would have loved to stay another night. Just to enjoy this lovely hostel.
Great place and great people.
Amazing hostel, view is amazing and the vibes are great with live music at night & free breakfast!
Excellent hostel - the facilities, atmosphere, amenities, etc. are all top notch. People of all ages are welcome. Highly recommend for a comfortable stay in el Calafate. Only thing to note is it is 10 minutes walking to downtown; however, there are several restaurants within the same street of the hostel so you don’t need to venture too far. If you are driving, there is limited on site parking. If coming during high season could be a challenge but would check with hostel beforehand.
Good hostel, great views of the town and mountains, just kitchens a bit low on cooking equipment, options to cook yourself or buy the restaurant food, very helpful staff helped setup my sim card as i dont speak enough Spanish 😂, great lounge area
One of the best hostels I have stayed!
Had a great time. Staff were super friendly and helpful. Facilities were decent. Nice location. All around it was very clean. I would definitely recommend this to someone staying in el calafate!
Un gran lugar para hospedarte y la atención del personal en especial de Rocio, gran persona y te apoya en todo momento
Amazing stay. Free breakfast is a nice touch. Staff were helpful. Clean, tidy every day. The food from the restaurant is average and for the same price you can eat out BUT very convenient after a long day! It’s not bang on central but only takes 10 mins to walk into town. Massively recommend, best hostel I’ve stayed in so far
Stunning place to stay, breakfast basic but good, had tango dancers at the hostel the night I stayed and generally really good social vibes! Shame I didn’t stay for longer and the views are great!
Stayed in the female dorm with ensuite. Very clean. Breakfast is bread, cereal, coffee, juice and yogurt. Can buy eggs for an extra $2k pesos. The can help you with booking tours at the front desk. Staff is very kind. Was a social hostel as well with a large area to hangout in
I really enjoy this Hostel was clean on the bedrooms and some social, the only thing I didn’t like was the kitchen was not so clean and there was not a good pan to cook, besides that all good
De los mejores hostels en los que me quedé en Argentina. El personal es súper amable y dispuesto. La comida del bar/restaurante está exquisita. Las habitaciones están muy bien, con enchufe y una baldita. Yo les añadiría cortinas por privacidad, pero fuera de eso genial. El hostel está a 10 minutos andando de El Calafate pueblo, donde están los bares, supermercado etc. Y a unos 15 minutos de la estación de autobuses. Pero las vistas son increíbles y el ambiente es 10/10.
voorzieningen opzich goed, echt geen sociaal hostel. voelt als een hotel, zitten ook gezinnen en ouderen. 4 persoonskamers wat aan de krappe kant. personeel wel heel vriendelijk en helpen heel erg goed.
Pictures don’t do it justice - really cool place with an amazing view of the town. 10 minute walk to downtown and social atmosphere
Everything is great about it except some things about the room and en-suite bathroom itself! Pros:location, big common room with spectacular views of the lake and mountains, free breakfast, secure luggage room, big locker in room, big shower Cons: persistent odor in room (seemed to be from en-suite bathroom), very creaky/noisy top beds from very little movement that often disrupt mine and fellow hostel mates’ sleep, broken sliding door for toilet, no noise-proofing of toilet even w/closed d...
Great hostel! Stars in the 4 bed female dorm with ensuite. Very clean, only issue was the wifi didn’t reach the bedroom bc it was furthest from the lobby. Have a decent brekky, can add eggs for 2k pesos. They’ll help you easily schedule perito moreno. Also did the nativo experience through them and enjoyed it. Laundry costs 10k and bag is quite small. Pretty social as well, they have events in the evenings
me and two mates stayed for 3 nights and had a blast, shoutout Joel!
Had an amazing stay here! Would recommend earplugs though, because you can hear sounds pretty well from the hall to the room. Didn’t bother me that much, but a good to know if you are more sensitive to sounds :)
Muito bom!
