I really enjoyed my stay there. Beds were nice and comfortable, if you want to cook the kitchen has everything basic you need and even an oven. The only thing is that it wasn't social but it's also not main season anymore.

Fantastic stay at Hostel Nakel Yenu! Got upgraded from a Private Room to an apartment for free and it was perfect, great cooking facilities, bed was comfy and everything was very clean. The hostel workers were very kind and helpful, would highly recommend for a stay in El Calafate especially as the price was much lower than others.

This hostel is one of the best I have ever visited. Every staff member was wonderful to work with and they did a great job ironing out a small glitch in my reservation. The beds are very comfortable and there was plenty of hot water. Although I did not use the kitchen, it is well stocked with the necessary items to make a meal. I highly recommend this hostel when staying in El Calafate.

Great hostel! Reasonable price for expensive Patagonia. Me and my boyfriend booked a dorm but ended up with a 3 bed room to ourselves. Great kitchen and free breakfast, clean hostel and lovely staff. WiFi isn’t great and showers in girls bathroom were boiling (cold tap didn’t work!). Apart from that was great :)

We had an enjoyable stay in the double room. WiFi is unreliable but the facilities for cooking were great. Good showers and good size room. Kitchen was good, breakfast was solid and location is nicely between the bus station and the Main Street.

Very clean and well kept facility with walking distance to downtown. Only downside was that even though it is not on a main street, the cars were a bit loud as we were street side.

Heel lekker eigen appartement voor een goede prijs! Geen sociale ruimte oid. Gewoon chill voor 1-2 nachtjes. Heerlijk bed! Wel klein stukje lopen (helling) naar centrum maar dat is prima te doen

La peor experiencia de mi vida!! Llegué a las 11.30 PM y me dijeron que no tenía reserva.Les mostré las confirmaciones de la reserva así como los WhatsApp que habían mantenido conmigo para la hora del check in y aún así me echaron a la calle en plena media noche!.Tuve que dormir en un hotel muy caro que era el único que disponía de la última habitación.Según parece hay muchos casos como el mío en Nakel Yenu .Hostelworld se hizo cargo de mis gastos así que total confianza con ellos...

Good hostel a short walk from the bus terminal. Clean, helpful staff, and the kitchen was excellent. We stayed in a private room which was lovely, however, the shared bathrooms had no hand soap provided which was the only downside to this place.

Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Das Personal ist freundlich, das Haus ist liebevoll eingerichtet und alles war sauber. Die Besitzer waren sehr bemüht und entgegenkommend unserem Wunsch nach zwei. Einzelbetten umzusetzen. Die Unterkunft liegt auf halben Weg vom Busterminal ins Zentrum, was wir für insere Reisepläne sehr praktisch fanden. Wir können das Hostel sehr empfehlen.

The place is nice. Staff were good. Clean and comfortable. However I DO NOT recommend booking an airport transfer through them. I have taken 2 taxis in El Calafate and never had to pay more than 15,000 pesos. This guy charged me 40,000 (which felt like he decided when I asked due to the hesitation) for a ride of similar length. He only accepted cash as well which I was not informed about. The real taxis charge with a meter and accept card. Otherwise a nice stay here.

The place is nice, but the staff is not very responsive. The location is alright, 1 km from the bus stop and about the same from the city centre. There are many rules about using the kitchen and the breakfast is almost nonexistent.

Was basic, very clean especially the bathrooms. Came in winter so no one to welcome us but it was very easy.

En saison basse, l’hôtel est un peu lugubre mais toujours très bien confortable et l’équipe très arrangeante. Les horaires de la cuisine sont assez rigides, à des horaires franchement peu pratique mais elle est si bien équipée qu’on s’y fait.

Nakel Yenu está localizado a menos de 10 minutos a pie del centro de Calafate y a unos 15 minutos de la estación de autobuses. El lugar es acogedor, muy limpio, y el personal súper atento, amable y buena onda.

Hostel Nakel Yanu is an amazing place to stay. Valentina and the staff really take care of their guests and they're always ready to support and help as they can. We visited towards the end of the season and despite the fact the hostel was quite empty, they allocated all people to different rooms to give them some personal space. We really enjoyed our time there and felt like at home. Location is great as well, highly recommended!
