The advantage of this hostel is its proximity to the bus station. The center is not too far either. The building is quite basic and so is the hostel in it. Behind the decent shared areas is a long and narrow hallway leading into the also very narrow rooms and finally into the bathrooms in the back. The rooms have... More

I stayed here for two nights in one of the private rooms. These rooms are little chalets across the road from the main hostel. The rooms were clean and provided soap and towel, breakfast was also included. The staff/owners were friendly and helpful - arranging my bus trip to the glacier for me. It's really near the bus station and... More

My boyfriend and I arrived in El Calafate by plane--but if you arrive by bus, it's extremely convenient because the hostel is a hop, skip & a jump from the bus station. The staff were very friendly and helped coordinate our excursion to the Perito Moreno Glacier. We stayed in a private room, which felt like a little cabin and... More

It was a fine place to stay for a few nights. It's 3 minutes walk from the Bus Terminal and easy walking distance to all the restaurants. Nothing fancy, but clean and well run.

We stayed just one night at the hostel in a double room with a shared bathroom. Our room was across the road from the main hostel in a cozy annex. The room was large and the bed had lots of blankets which was good as it was very cold when we arrived at El Calafate! The annex had a nice... More

We planned to stay in El Calafate for three days and we were looking for cozy accommodation. We found many nice and cozy hostels but all of them were quite expensive. Finally we reached Lago Argentino which prove to be just a stone throw from the bus station and it was bull’s eye! To be honest, the rooms are quite... More

4 of us stayed two nights in two doubles with private bathroom. Our building housed the dining room and a sitting room which we had mostly to ourselves. Everything was clean, comfortable, even private and quiet. The buildings are lovely, painted in bright colors with lots of flowers. The staff is very friendly and breakfast was nice too. Located a...

We stayed in the rooms with private bathroom of this very friendly hostel. Mariano, the guy who stayed in the afternoon/night is very very helpful and friendly. The price was fine. The shared room and the bathroom was very clean and confortable. And it is located near to the city center and bus station. We really liked!

We stayed for one night. Nice location one block from bus station and next door to a bakery. we stayed in a private room across the road. The room barely had room for the bed and that was it and our room was a bit run down. I think next time we would try to stay somewhere else just to... More
