Was here 5-Mar to 12-Mar-2012 and we love, love, LOVED our stay with Nakel Yenu!!! Everything from the accommodations to the staff were excellent! Our introduction to Patagonia started here and ended with us falling in love with the people and town of El Calafate. Definitely recommend Nakel Yenu to all travellers! Jared & Tanya Koller

The ambiance is very relaxed and the staff is helpful. The room could have been vacuumed somewhat more thorough but it was not really dirty. There is a kitchen where you can cook your own food and a grill as well. The breakfast is decent.

Good service, reception desk peoples are friendly and helpful espically Veronica and Nacho. Bad points are the heating system which was switching on even during summer. The bathrooms needs some plumbing work. You cannot sleep well with leaking tap.

We had spend several days backpacking in the national park and arrived late to the hostel at night. The host was incredibly friendly, greeted us with a huge hug and made us feel at home. I've stayed in many hostels around the world and this one has one of the best atmospheres I've been in. The communal kitchen is in... More

We stayed in one of the double rooms, which is situated on the entrance floor. The room was ok, but felt a bit dirty. Outside our room was a common area, and when we arrived we were told that if we wanted to stay up late we had to go to the kitchen so we wouldn't disturb the people in... More

It's a good place to stay, the price is very competitive, staff is very friendly and helpful. The place needs several improvements though. Breakfast is too poor. Overall we had a nice, qualitative sleep in the private room downstairs.

Within walking distance of the bus station, the centre of town (supermarkets, banks, etc), and the beautiful Nature reserve, this hostel is brilliantly located. Federico met us at the bus station, and the warm welcome was a great indicator of the friendliness and helpfulness of the hosts. They are also really knowledgeable about the local area and the tours /... More

We had read bad reviews, but it was the only place left with room. BOOK IN ADVANCE IN EL CALAFATE. Our room was fine, but we had a streetlamp outside our bedroom that the thin curtains could not block. The hostal is also on the edge of town, about a 10 minute walk from the centre. The staff were very... More
