Our second stay here. It's one of the cleanest hostels I have stayed in. You can see that they work hard to maintain it. The location is great and a short walk to the town and a supermarket just down from the hostel. The owner Andy is really friendly and makes you feel very welcome. I would definitely recommend if going to El Calafate. The only thing to note is that it says that breakfast is included but this consists of biscuits and small dried tostadas and jams.

Nice family-run hostel who welcomes and treats you like family as well. Rooms are simple but comfortable, and location is unbeatable! Right in the centre! Staff were lovely - even though our Spanish was very limited they did their best to communicate with us and did not mind using google translate to help. Reception can also help book excursions to the glacier. There is simple breakfast available on a tips basis :)

This hostel was very clean, to be honest I wasn't expecting much because it was the cheapest hostel I could find, but it was perfect for me. My only suggestion would be to say that it would be great to have a little shelf so if you are on the upper bunk you have somewhere to put your phone / wallet. The wifi was super fast and the kitchen was spotless. I'll definitely return.
