Sebastián was incredible to welcome guests. His counter part Marina (sp?) was not friendly or accommodating. Over all the hostel is a great option.

10/10 Exceptional

Everyone of the staff were friendly and helped us in every possible way. I had forgotten my backpack cover, they sent it via bus to Calafate. Love their service.

8/10 Very good

Great location and very comfortable beds. Nice common areas. Very friendly and helpful staff. Many of the electrical plugs in common areas don’t hold the plugs. But they also had great adapter plugs in one common area. Common area bathrooms often ran out of toilet paper, but just have to ask staff for more.

Bien situé et pratique

Grande chambre confortable. Personnel à l'accueil agréable et pouvant vous conseiller sur les randonnées et autres choses à faire à El Chalten. Attention ça résonnr beaucoup dans le hall donc si la chambre est proche de l'accueil cela peut être bruyant. Petit déjeuner simple (cereales, pain, jambon, fromage, fruits, café, thé)

Excelente custo x benefício em baixa temporada

Superou nossas expectativas, excelente localização, ótima cama, ótimo chuveiro, quarto espaçoso, a Sandra que nos recepcionou foi extremamente simpática e solícita, muito zelosa, nos auxiliou muito! Não tenho muitas experiências com 'Hostel', mas esta com certeza foi a melhor.

6/10 Good

WiFi worked well. Plenty of common space to relax and hang out in. Hostel is located centrally on the primary street of El Chalten. Bunk beds are wooden and make a bit of noise when you move on them. The bathroom in our area didn’t have a key to lock the door from the inside so sometimes people would open the door without knocking while you’re using the toilet.
