It's new and looks nice, a building perfectly suits the hostelling business, but they totally should employ more cleaning staff! The place was just dirty and the bathrooms - disgusting. Apart from that - OK, nice and helpful people at the reception.

I stayed at a private room in this hostel for more than a week and I definitly recommend it to those who do not look for fancy a commodation and prefer to invest their money in trips and excursions but at the same time do not want to stay n a dorm. The staff is amazing, they are always willing... More

Sometimes in the week, music and special dinners in the common area! There is a nice place outside the building for smokers. They also have many... More

It is very noise even after the mid night so we barely could sleep. Usually people, like us, are going to El Calafate for a trekking which is starting very early - by saying that we tried to go to sleep early (around 11ish) but because they are playing a trance/ reggae music in the lounge till after the mid...

Che Lagarto is a chain of guesthouses in various towns in Argentina. I stayed in one of them, in El Calafate. This guesthouse is rather large and attracts many young and independent travelers. Even our occasional companions in a taxi from airport happened to go in the same guesthouse with me. Positive side of this accommodation was good central location,... More

excellent hostel. very new & modern. the room is a little cramp, but was good otherwise. Breakfast was basic, but still better than a lot of other hostels I've stayed in. Good location as well, with only about 5-10 min walk from main street and bus station. EXTREMELY value-for-money. Highly recommended.

If you are looking for a down-to-earth place to stay in El Calafate. Look no further. Located about 2 minutes away from the city centre and 5 minutes from the lake and kind of a bird sanctuary, this place is perfect to enjoy the city without breaking your wallet. Speaking of wallet, I realized I didn't have my wallet (with... More

We were there a long time ago, so I can't comment on the recent reviews, but when we were there the noise was under control. We stayed in a private room with a private bathroom and it was one of the best rooms we've ever had in a hostel. They were all very friendly and helped us arrange a tour... More
