The front desk staff were the highlight of the stay. Everyone was so helpful and friendly. Thanks team. The room was clean and bright - everything we needed. The breakfast was fine if a little disorganized. The kitchen is the reason for the 4 - it needs new counters, new equipment (dishes and cooking supplies), more towels and a thorough cleaning.

Great location and very comfortable beds. Nice common areas. Very friendly and helpful staff. Many of the electrical plugs in common areas don’t hold the plugs. But they also had great adapter plugs in one common area. Common area bathrooms often ran out of toilet paper, but just have to ask staff for more.

WiFi worked well. Plenty of common space to relax and hang out in. Hostel is located centrally on the primary street of El Chalten. Bunk beds are wooden and make a bit of noise when you move on them. The bathroom in our area didn’t have a key to lock the door from the inside so sometimes people would open the door without knocking while you’re using the toilet.

Bien situé et pratique

Grande chambre confortable. Personnel à l'accueil agréable et pouvant vous conseiller sur les randonnées et autres choses à faire à El Chalten. Attention ça résonnr beaucoup dans le hall donc si la chambre est proche de l'accueil cela peut être bruyant. Petit déjeuner simple (cereales, pain, jambon, fromage, fruits, café, thé)
