We absolutely loved our time at America Del Sur Hostel in El Calafate! The location was perfect—close to downtown/Perito Moreno Glacier/Lago Argentino, making it easy to explore the stunning natural beauty of the area. The hostel was cozy, clean, and well-equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay.

Excellent stay. We booked their transport services and excursions to the Parque Nacional Los Glaciares and El Chalten, they're exceptionally punctual. Ismael was really attentive as a guide and driver, gave us great recommendations as to where to dine and the local dishes.

The owner was kind and helpful. The apartment was as expected. Very close to the bus station (we have not used it but super close if anybody needs it). Checkin was smooth even in the evening. They provide luggage storage if needed which was important for us.

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.
