Rancho Grande is at a great location in El Chaltén - close to the start of all the famous trekking trails. The restaurant area is open 24/7 - food is great (huge and delicious Milanesas! By staying in the hostel, I got 10% discount for all dinners. The atmosphere is very cozy, perfect for an after-hike relaxation. The kitchen area is big, common areas are well-designed.

Great location, the hosts were super kind and helpful and made our stay feel really special. Highly recommended. The showers were hot, and it's well connected to the city. Great place to come back to after a long hike. Highly recommended as it’s 10 mins walk from the entrance to the National Park. The restaurant options nearby are great too. Really comfy beds.

A Shoutout to the Volunteer Dream Team Let me start by saying, this place is an absolute gem—not just because it’s a breezy five-minute stroll from the bus station, but because of the volunteer staff who run the show like pros (while secretly moonlighting as superheroes). Considering they’re volunteers, they’re doing a fantastic job. Actually, scratch that—they’re smashing it. Zoe, for instance, is a medialuna wizard. Her creations are so good they deserve their own fan club. Then there’s Marcos, the hiking guide extraordinaire, who makes scaling mountains sound like a casual afternoon stroll (even when your legs disagree). Paula, the English teacher, is a legend—she didn’t just teach; she often translated for me. And how could I forget the Spanish couple? Luis, affectionately nicknamed “the French guy” (don’t ask), made an onion soup so delicious it should have its own Michelin star. Maca, his lovely partner, brought warmth and good vibes wherever she went. Last but certainly not least, there’s Kevin, the manager. This guy is the ultimate fixer—got a problem? Kevin’s your man. And if it involves more than hand gestures, his partner Paula will swoop in to translate. Together, they run the hostel like a well-oiled machine, keeping everything sparkling clean and utterly welcoming. So, hats off to this incredible team for making my stay not just pleasant but downright memorable. If you’re lucky enough to stay here, bring your appetite for medialunas and your sense of humor—you’re in for a treat! ❤️

It is very clean, and somehow, from the first second, I felt me very welcome. It is a perfect place to sleep, cook, and enjoy the view from the community room. The laundry is just a few meters away, the first bars and shops just about 100 meters from the hostel. I warmly recommend this friendly hostel those travellers who appreciate the silence in the rooms, and the kindlliest welcome 🤗

The staff were super chilled and helpful. Let me leave my stuff overnight as I went camping! The common spaces are nice especially for El Chalten (all other hostels I went to didn’t have this). Kitchen is big but dirty. Could be cleaned more.

The hostel is nice and I met some really friendly people here. It’s quite a small place but it’s super cosy. The bedrooms are super warm at night and the showers are decent too. El Chalten is a small town so the hostel isn’t miles away from anywhere you need to go. Would recommend!

Lovely people working at místico hostel, so kind and helpful and took care of our needs. Good location on the main thoroughfare and dorms with just 8 beds. Decent sized kitchen and dining area. Felt safe and secure. Perfect base for hiking.

Very small and cozy hostel, close to some of the major trailheads but not in the center of town (not a problem as the entire length of town can be walked in ~20 mins). The people were nice, the kitchen was clean, the showers were warm, and the staff was helpful and prompt when wifi and heat went out one day. It felt more like one large house with 12 or fewer people in it which is much different than other hostels I've stayed in. Would definitely recommend it to someone visiting El Chalten for the first time!
