This is a great hostel with a nice chill vibe. There's a very nice lounge area, good Wi-Fi and they offer all sorts of tour and transportation options. Also, laundry service is available a couple of houses from the property. PS. Alan from the reception is an absolute superstar! A charming young fella, who makes everyone very welcome from the first moment you step in through the door. If you're lucky enough, you'll hear him bust a couple of smooth rap lines in the evening. Top service!

The owner is kind and welcoming! The room was very clean when we arrived and comfortable to stay in. We had to extend our stay from three nights to five because of bad weather; the owner accommodated us and we felt at home. Good Wi-Fi and close to the city center.

location. it is just cross street from bus terminal (for el chalten, peurto natalie, day trip to Moreno Glacier, Bariloche etc...). if you arrived el calafate in late evening or if you leave in the early morning this is the place to stay instead get taxi or long walk into town. no rush or worry. the place is very clean. staff are nice. each room has own washroom.

I thought this was a good place to stay. In a city that has a lot of tourists, this place was very reasonably priced and they treated us like visitors, not tourists. They were honest about what they thought we should and shouldn't spend money on, and they were patient when our Spanish wasn't the best. The place has pretty big rooms and a nice kitchen.

Danny is the kindest host we’ve ever met. This is his family business, and he runs it together with his wife and brother. They truly make you feel at home. They are extremely accommodating with everything from special requests to holding your luggage, organising day trips to the glaciers, etc. Sweetest people. Also the location is perfect, next to the Main Street with all the restaurants etc

    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.

    The tours they offer in the hostel are much cheaper than the ones you see on the internet or in agencies in the city center. I definitelly recommend taking a tour with the hostel, I did and it was really worth it! The beds are comfortable, internet was okay, there is a very well equipped kitchen, clean toilets. Hot showers. Warm sheets.

    Nice quiet hostel only 10mins walk from the main hub of town. Kitchen was pretty well equipped. The people working there were really helpful and we booked a trip to Perito Moreno with them for much cheaper than we'd seen online.

    Well-located hostel, with all the supplies needed for a short or long stay. They also provide a few services (tours to perito moreno + airport shuttles) with a very competitive price. Since the pick up for all these services is at the hostel door, it's super convenient and cheaper than all the other tours we could find.
