Good Hostel, excelent atmosphere. Super well located in El Calafate, less than 500 meters from the main street where you find everything. Near of bus station as well (about 6 blocks). I stayed in 4 mixed room with 4 bed. The room is OK, well cleaned, calm, warm. Great breakfast available. I didn´t liked the kitchen (small, don´t have all... More

Noisy, can hear people began talking/yelling at each other from 7am. There were constant plumbing noise. I can even hear person in the next room using the hair dryer. Parts of the room seems to be new, eg. Tiling, but other parts seems to be really old and worn out. The room was cold for the two nights we stayed,... More

The rooms are nice here (we stayed in a private double) - which are closer to hotel standard than hostel. Spotlessly clean and decent location. However, the staff were professional, but don't expect a friendly, bubbly welcome. Also, we stayed in room 84 which was like a furnace as it is the first room on the 'under floor heating' loop....

Hostel Del Glaciar Libertador was within walking distance to center of El Calafate. There are two levels of accommodations with some rooms sharing space and others with private rooms. Along with these differences come differences in the types of breakfasts being offered. We have some food issues and were able to find some things we could eat in the breakfast... More

This Hostel International is on the edge of the center of town. The rooms were clean with separate toilets and showers, which is useful when staying in twin or triple rooms. There are safes in the rooms. The kitchen is on the top floor of the hostel and has a full kitchen if self-catering is preferred. A very basic breakfast... More

I was traveling with 2 other girls and we were led to believe that we would be staying in a private room for the 3 of us. We didn't know until we got to our room that we would be sharing it with a 40+ year old man. This made for an awkward experience and definitely put a damper on... More

This is an excellent option if you are travelling alone, with a friend or with your mum. Actually, I used to stay in hostels but for my mum it was her first experience and she enjoyed a lot!! We stayed in a share room. Very clean, very quiet. EXCELENT OPTION!!

We had a wonderful stay in one of the double rooms, very quiet at night and cool in the summer, though walls were thin. The room was spacious, very clean and extremely well maintained. The staff was very helpfully in suggesting tours and the special alternative Tour to the glacier perito moreno was excellent. The breakfast was quiet good for... More

My wife and I stayed here 2 nights and we found it quite a good place to stay. Reception was very helpful and english was well understood. Our safe wasn't working and it took some effort to sort things out, but they didn't give up and kept going until resolved. They were also very friendly and helpful whenever we asked... More
