We are long term travelers with basic needs - general level of cleanliness and enough space for our (minimal) stuff. This place met all of our needs and more...I don't understand the poor reviews on here. We had a double en-suite room, which was out back (wifi reached!). I think it was a converted old hotel, but it was very... More

We staued here for three nights in total before and after our trip to El Chalten and enjoyed it. The location is nice and quiet. We stayed in private double rooms with cleaning service on a daily basis. The breakfast is nice, the staff is always friendly and the food is simple but nice.

While on a 5-day, 4-night trip to Patagonia, the tour company that I hired placed me in the Calafate Hostel. I had a single room with ensuite which was visited daily by a maid.

Wifi is only available at the reception area. Staff is unfriendly and lazy, except the guy working at night. I got... More

I stayed for several nights in Jan 2011. I wasn't looking forward to my stay here as the reviews I had read weren't good. My need for a very central location & a reasonable price forced me to book here. I was very pleasantly surprised & couldn't see what other people were moaning about! As hostels go, I felt it... More

We had booked this hostel in advance and were very disappointed by it. Pretty much the only good thing about it is its location since it is in the centre of the town. Apart from that it was one of our worst stays in South America. The staff is spectacularly unfriendly. The rooms are, let's say, very basic and offer... More
