This was exactly the right place to stay as a base for three days of hiking. We had a private room and bathroom at the hostel. The restaurant was popular for dinner and the food was very good. Included breakfasts were also solid. Access to the shared kitchen and fridges was also useful. Perfect location.

The hostel was very chill, which was nice, but it would have been good to have more social things. Staff always cleaning. 24hr restaurant was helpful. Kitchen did not have any bowls, so we ate cereal from saucepans everyday haha.

Good location to walks.

We stayed for 2 nights in an ensuite double. The bed was very comfortable but we had no hot water for 2 days and no one would come and check it. We had to shower in the communal showers and the floor mat in there was so mouldy and it stank. The wifi wouldn’t work in our room so we’d have to go and sit on the stairs in the hall to use it. The restaurant is fine and always busy. Food and service were average. The location to the start of the walks is excellent though and an easy walk along the Main Street to other restaurants and bars. The bar attached is excellent though and their happy hour prices were super cheap.

Bathroom was nice and compact but no hot water for entire stay

Shared room should not be mixed. When I came into my shared 4 bed room, I saw one couple (male and female) was in a bed with caressing each other and talking. It was continued even while I were there. I was not very comfortable during the stay.

The hotel foyer looks a little rough on first contact but it all improves once inside. The biggest issues we had was with noise which easily carries in this big concrete box. Cleaning staff were active at 5am outside the room and we could not sleep

Good experience

It was a pleasant stay at the hostel, and everything was fine, however the bed was not the most comfortable, as it “fell down” during the night.
Flemming, 4-night trip

6/10 Good

Definitely seems like a restaurant that happens to have accommodation upstairs. Very noisy. But is probably the best available in El Chalten.
Sai, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The property is conveniently located to the great hikes in the area. The staff was very helpful with recommendations for renting gear. And the restaurant had so many good options with super availability. On the negative side, the room window covers were not very dark (there was a bright light outside my window) and the door did little to quiet those walking noisily by in the hallway. Positives outweighed the negatives, though.

4/10 Fair

Personale scortese, struttura poco accogliente, eccessivamente calda e con spazi comuni in comune con un ristorante, quindi molto rumorosi e poco piacevoli. Non consigliabile per nessun motivo, essendo pure più cara di altre strutture molto più piacevoli a el chalten. Non si comprende come possa avere voti così alti!

Ótimo!

Gostei bastante! Fiquei em quarto de casal com banheiro privado e foi ótimo. Só acho que poderia ter um frigobar no quarto. Já que o valor da diária desse quarto privado é compatível com essa comodidade. Apesar disso, foi tudo muito bom. É só uma sugestão.
