Clean Room, shower offering shampoo, conditioner and soap (but bring your own towel). Good breakfast and very useful laundry service (15.000 pesos as of Spring 2026). The restaurant offers lunchboxes (viandas) for excursions. Helpful and available staff. Large lockers.

Great location, knowledgeable staff, comfy beds and good public space. Extras - laundry service, taxi and travel bookings make this a good spot. Basic breakfast included but can add eggs for a cheap fee. Would recommend this spot. We are older travelers and enjoy the younger vibe.

Genuinely loved this place! Found it accidentally and was surprised how nice it was! Also the people/staffs and the atmosphere was incredible! Wish we'd stayed longer but would definitely choose the same place if we ever came back to El Calafate again!

Very well maintained and great location. Even though this is on the hill little outside of main area but short walking distance and nice separation to be quiet. Facility is very clean and they offer laundry service which was great. Also this hostel offer airport transportation and other fun tours cheaper than many of local tour companies, so you should reach out before taking taxi from the airport or booking online.

Excellent Hostel with lovely friendly staff. Nice vibe. But we were charged WAY too much for our four nights. Not sure if it was Expedia or the hostel but there is no way a hostel should be charging this much a night.

Rooms Ok But service and food were fantastic!!

The staff really went out of their way to help us book a tour To Torres Del Paine. The follow up was amazing and their help was above and beyond. Much appreciated!

Great hostel, one of the best we’ve stayed in after 9 months travelling in South America. Staff are friendly and helpful, always willing to answer questions. Breakfast options are really good. Can book tours at the hostel, we booked Moreno Glacier and we booked the half day kayaking tour, which was incredible. The hostel also booked the bus for us which was convenient.

Fabulous hostel, really warm mid winter - both in the room and common areas, fireplace, the dogs were an unexpected boon! Modern rooms with excellent floor heating - exactly what you want/need after a long day out in Patagonian winter! Good food in the restaurant (arepas!), hot dishes included in the free breakfast, amazing views, reasonably-priced laundry service. Short walk to the town centre. Really friendly and helpful staff. Couldn't be happier.

Convenient if you are keeping yourself occupied with tours every day. Breakfast is ok, not paved roads on streets to main roads. Staff is knowledgeable and able to assist you in whatever you need.

Had a good stay here. Breakfast was not sufficient. Just Corn Pops and toast. We had to leave for breakfast in town. Walls were quite thin so we could hear people in the hallways. Overall though, the rooms were comfortable, the view was great and the staff really helpful and warm. Would stay here again despite the issues above.

I had an excellent stay at Americana Del Sur! The rooms have only 4 beds and an ensuite bathroom, shower and lockers. The public area is great! Very comfortable coaches and tables, a outside deck and lawn furniture - and you can't beat the view from the all glass wall! The staff was AMAZING!!! All of them were so nice and remembered my name and even the smallest details of what was going on with me. Really personalized service. Very highly recommended!!

Mixed bag

The place was a bit like a poor youth hostel and the bathrooms reeked and there was sewage like smell in the room. The bunk bed was so so .. the only blessing is that the room windows actually opened and we could get fresh air into the room. The breakfast was nice .. the lounge area had lots of young tourists.

The common area and breakfast were fine. The shower did not work almost at all and there was limited water from the sink. It was pretty noisy both inside (people) and outside (dogs). Staff was very friendly and helpful. Did not have a good experience at dinner there - food was not great and it took forever.
