Exactly what we wanted in a hostel, excellent location, great breakfast (best we’ve had for free travelling), good facilities in the room, comfy bed, extremely kind and helpful staff. Common areas are also always nice and relaxed, not a party party hostel.

Kitchen was amazing, that was the main highlight for me. Rooms were ok and always clean. Not much atmosphere though but I went in the low season but I think it is good in high season.

Amazing hostel to base for a glacier trip 10 min walk from town centre and super close to bus terminal (5 mins). Everything was great here altho the 4 bed dorm i was in was slightly on the small side. Only marked down on atmosphere because tour groups came through both nights i was there and overtook the kitchen (using all the dishes and leaving for others to clean) and common areas.

great hostel, really near to the bus terminal and not too far off main street either. they do a great breakfast in the morning, friendly staff and great atmosphere. hot water yed, although showers are quite communal. we had a private room which worked out cheaper than a dorm. would deffo reccommend if you're looking for somewhere clean and convenient in el calafate ;)

Very basic place with an average breakfast at best. Fine for a night, but wouldn't be spending much time there, you should look for an alternative.

Ótimo hostel. Equipe educada e prestativa; sempre em contato com os hóspedes. Hall e cozinha bem amplos, organizados e completos. Café da manhã razoável; não conseguem atender muita gente ao mesmo tempo, mas é bom. O quarto é muito bom. O único problema é o barulho. Quando hóspedes dos quartos vizinhos chegam ou saem (o que ocorreu com frequência nas madrugadas), o barulho acaba te acordando. Hostel próximo à rodoviária e ao centro. Perto de mercado e farmácia.

Nice to be close to the bus station, not nice to be a bit far from the rest. Very nice and available staff, Well-equipped and spacious kitchen allowing many people to cook simultaneously. Very clean, enough space on tables for people to stay together, large living room with some chill corners. A lot of space in the bathrooms/showers also.

Felt like a big hostel. Had about a million toilets. Breakfast was nice but get there well before 9:30 as they had run out of eggs :(. Near bus station which is useful - short walk into town. Good for a night or two not much going on but nice.
