I've loved EVERYTHING about my stay, and I do not say this lightly. New hostel, engaged and super attentive staff. Luminous and spatious everything.. room, living room, dining room, kitchen, bathroom.. Excellent value for price, modern establishment and super comfortable. Excellent vibe, Gluten-free breakfast. Nice kitchen, big and well equipped. Bus tickets can be bought here and they are very knowledgeable about activities to do and buy. 3-5 minites walk to great supermarkets and bus terminal. Heated floor in the whole hostel, warm.and cozy. Amazing dogs outside always ready to be pet. Hot water and pressure in the shower awesome. I just thank myself to have booked 2 stays of 3 nights! Congrats guys!

We needed help booking our trip to Perito Moreno on a short notice and two of the women working in the Hostel really helped us enormously. We really appreciated their help and all of the staff were super friendly!

The staff were really helpful and friendly and helped us to book a tour to the glacier with them for cheaper than we had found online, and a taxi to the bus station. The hostel was well maintained and very clean. They provided free coffee and some basic cooking items such as oil. The kitchen was very well stocked with utensils and crockery - perfect for us as we cooked all of our meals during our stay.

Perfect location for the bus and not far from the centre of the town. Great helpful staff. Able to organise trips and buses to other destinations (they are also a tour company). Always being cleaned and shared kitchen for a hostel was very clean. Food box for guests to leave excess food for other guests to use. They responded immediately to a problem with a leak in the bathroom.

This hostel was very clean, to be honest I wasn't expecting much because it was the cheapest hostel I could find, but it was perfect for me. My only suggestion would be to say that it would be great to have a little shelf so if you are on the upper bunk you have somewhere to put your phone / wallet. The wifi was super fast and the kitchen was spotless. I'll definitely return.
