The hotel was very clean and had excellent service, especially Paola was very helpful, and as our flight was cancelled, she made all the necessary changes in order not to miss our reservation and glacier tour. Thank you.

Wonderful stay here. Great location, nice open room for guests to meet and enjoy time after hikes together. The showers had hot water, rooms simple but comfy. The kitchen was well stocked. Grocery stores nearby and of course delicious bakeries, recommend the dark Chocolate chip cookies down the road...forget name of Cafe :p Wifi was even better than what we expected. We were able to do some work online, but I wouldn't recommend. It could be because we came at the end of the season, very quiet. We had a problem one night in our room with a drunk guest. The owner was very kind and dealt with the situation very professionally, avoiding confrontation. If I could I would leave 100 reviews just for this alone, great customer service. :D

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.

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.

Great location, with a lovely view over the lake in the hostel restaurant/bar. Really nice atmosphere in the hostel in the communal area with strong wifi. The staff were really helpful and responsive (you can WhatsApp them at any point) - we arrived late and they arranged for us to be booked on a tour to the glacier for early the next day.

Very good quality for the price, one of the cheaper hostels in El Calafate. Beds are comfy and the included breakfast (bread, butter, jam, yoghurt, cornflakes) is a plus. Very friendly staff at reception. They let me chill in the hostel after checkout the whole day and evening before my 3am bus.

You can't beat the location of the hostel, it's only 2 blocks from the main road with restaurants, shops & everything else. The hostel itself is big & the staff are super helpful, the facilities are great & the communal areas are big too. I chose it as it was the cheapest option at the time.

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.

Really enjoyed our time at this hostel! It’s in a great location - only 5min walk to the centre of town. The kitchen was well equipped and common areas were nice and social. The host Eugene was super helpful with advice about our trip and even gave us a free room upgrade to a bigger room across the street!
