This was the best apartment we've stayed in throughout our three weeks in South America thus far. It was spacious, clean, had all the amenities you need, and was in a central location in town. The host was also kind and helpful. All was good!

The place was super comfortable with everything you need to rest, make yourself simple meals and relax after a day full of activities. It was very quiet and well decorated, the daily cleaning was perfectly done after we left every day and the front desk lady (Paty🙂) is very polite and helpful, she even made reservations for us to a restaurant one night. Location? You cannot be in a better place! Only a few meters from the main street, close to restaurants and shops, excellent location. If you visit El Calafate, we highly recommend this place.

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.
