Amazing place to stay. Super friendly staff and great amenities with help with transportation, breakfast, and a functional kitchen to prepare for treks. I didn’t give a perfect review because the bathroom was a little rough, (the shower wasn’t great). Everything else is amazing and it was a good stay.

Best Hostel i have stayed in Argentina! The Breakfast is great and has a big variety of Stuff like scrambled eggs, fresh fruits and vegetables, homemade Hummus and so on. The Staff is really helpful and super kind. Especially Laura, Mar and Hannah made my stay special. Because there were not a lot of guests in the time of my visit i got an upgrade to a private Room which made me really happy. Its definitely worth to spend the extra money and get a good Hostel!

Hostel Schilling was the best!! Such a lovely environment with lots of art around, comfortable seating areas and welcoming dining space. The breakfasts were superb. But the highlight was the staff - absolutely amazing, so warm and friendly and super helpful. I am a lone female traveller and they really looked after me. I would highly recommend Hostel Schilling!!

Nice little hostel. Breakfast included was useful. Only downside is it wasn’t particularly social for solo travellers. Most guests were older groups and couples

Overall, this stylish hostel (and town) exceeded my expectations. Location - 10-20 mins to the bus terminal with/without luggage, 3 mins to the high street Breakfast - the best I've had out of about 500 hostels! Homemade hummus; banana bread; scrambled eggs, fresh watermelon, apple, orange; gluten free crackers... Dorm - Lots of plug sockets. The lower bunk is too low. You can't sit up and may hit yourself turning over. 5-8 min wait for hot water. More hooks in the bathroom please.

Great hostel and the staff are amazing! The location is also good, pretty close to the Main Street and about 20 min walk from the bus station. I thought the hostel was really clean and the breakfast was great. The only downside is that it was not a very social hostel but if you are looking for peace and quiet you will definitely get it here!

Great hostel, we were upgraded from a dorm to a private room both times we stayed. Staff were very helpful and nice and a decent breakfast included. Lots of common area space and place was clean. Good location from the Main Street.

In town, slightly far but walkable distance (uphill) to the bus station. Amazing staff, very helpful with tips for El Calafate and travel around the area. Fanciest breakfast I’ve had in South America (own juice squeezer), nice back garden/kitchen area. Modern facilities and lock system. Would definitely come back

The staff at Hostel Schilling was both knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. The room was more than adequate and the breakfast was awesome. With plenty gluten free options.

One of the best hostels I’ve ever stayed in. Every staff member is incredibly friendly and helpful and made us feel at home, the breakfast is great, and we could store our luggage safely. It’s about a 15-minute walk from the bus station or a quick 5-minute taxi ride. I’d definitely choose this hostel again if I came back!

Beautiful hostel and the staff was amazing. I missed breakfast one morning and they noticed and brought me a plate later in the day. The location is close to all shops and restaurants but on a quiet side street.

Great stay. Staff are super friendly and accomodating. They will help you with just about anything without a hassle. The breakfast is great & the rooms are clean and cosy. I had a little trouble regulating the temperature of the hot water in the shower but I could make do with it. Atmosphere- there wasn’t a lot going on but I gather that’s the whole town itself, it’s a quiet town not the actual hostel. Overall experience at this hostel was fantastic.
