Fair enough

Friendly and helpful staff, clean room, fair breakfast included.

Mousse running in the dorm! Even if the room and bathroom are cleaned every day they have a mice issue in the building. The room is cold over night and we don’t really have blanket, it’s just a bed cover that slips all the time on the floor where you sleep so then you get cold and don’t sleep well. They should provide real blankets for each bed.

Buen lugar y tranquilo para estar unos dias y recorrer la ciudad

La atención super amable y su disposición por ayudarnos. Cerca del centro, aprox. 10 minutos a pie. Está limpio, las habitaciones son cómodas y la cocina es super grande y limpia. Hay mucho espacio en el area del comedor, siempre encontraras un lugar. Te ayudan con todo lo necesario. 100% recomendable.

Todo es excelente, nos gusto todo 100% recomendable.

No lo recomiendo

Precio

Al llegar 22:30, estaba haciendo check in otra pareja, espere aprox 15 minutos y al observar que la recepcionista estaba hablando de su infancia, de la procedencia de su nombre, de que partes de brasil Conocía, etc. sin siquiera saludar a nuestra llegada o pedir que esperáramos o que nos sentáramos, y no bastando eso y ante la consulta de los huéspedes les empieza a informar de los tour que ofrecian? Luego al ir a dejarlos a su habitación le pido que si nos puede hacer el check in, me indica que tenga paciencia, y que él ofrecer tour es parte de su trabajo… Momento en el cual ingresa una persona en pijama, con pelo con rasta, comentan algo entre ellas diciéndole están apurados? Y dice fuerte, !nosotros también estamos cansados!…. A lo que le indico a esta chica no son formas de tratar a la gente. Al volver la recepcionista, me hizo el check in en 3 minutos. Al decirle lo que paso con la chica con rasta, me indica: porque no se lo decís vos a la cara? Ósea que me desafía a que yo me enfrente con alguien? Ósea que en su día libre los trabajadores se encargan de burlarse de los huéspedes? Lo encuentro insólito. El resto de los días. Los demás chicos de recepción fueron amables, ningún problema. Pero lamentablemente al llegar fue un desastre. No recomiendo este hostal. Queda a unos 15 minutos caminando del centro. Prefiero pagar un poco mas, es verdad que lo barato cuesta caro. Mobiliario antiguo. La ducha se tapa de agua, Perros descansando en la sala de recepción sobre los sillones. Desayuno pan+sachet de mantequilla, mermelada y dulce de leche.

Low cost performance

To make the bed everyday and public kitchens are good

Lack of management, the front desk is often empty, and guests have to wait for service. One night there was a BBQ party, which lasted until 2 o'clock in the middle of the night. It was so noisy that people couldn't sleep. When I reported it to the front desk, no staff came to stop it.

Muy bien

Me quedé casi 10 días. Las camas son muy cómodas y tienen una especie de cortinita para hacerlo más privado del resto de las camas. El desayuno es el típico argentino (tostadas, dulce de leche, café, té), para mí riquísimo. Si sos extranjero exquisito, tenés la posibilidad de pedir yogur con cereal, huevos revueltos y todo eso por un par de pesos más. La gente que trabaja ahí son re buena onda... de hecho a uno me lo encontré en un bar a la noche y era muy piola. Están 24 horas laburando, así que siempre te va a recibir alguien. La ducha me la quiero llevar a casa de lo potente que era. A veces tenías que esperar un poquito después de que alguien se bañara porque sino el agua no salía caliente. Pero en general re bien. La zona es céntrica. Está a una cuadra de la vieja entrada al pueblo, si caminás 5 cuadras llegás al centro del centro. No es una zona fea, para nada. Calafate no es peligroso, así que lo único que te puede pasar es que te sigan los perros y nada más.

Yo estuve en la habitación n°6, y hay un solo enchufe para las 4 camas. Por suerte yo llevé un alargue y lo pudimos usar entre todos en la pieza, porque sino tenés que irte al comedor a cargar tu celular. El tema del internet es una odisea. En ninguna habitación llega el internet, ni tampoco los datos. Lo mismo: si necesitabas hablar con alguien aunque sea por SMS, tenías que irte al comedor. Ah, y en la habitación 6 no cierra bien la ventana y la estufa no anda porque pierde agua, así que tuve que dormir muy abrigada porque se me congelaba hasta el alma por las noches! Y algo que no me gustó, pero es una opinión personal de viajera: estaría bueno que cambien el lugar del desayuno al comedor general, y el comedor al lugar del desayuno, tipo enroque. Para un viajero solo, conocer gente en un lugar tan grande como el comedor es una fiaca, y se pierde un poco el espíritu de hostel.

Muy bien

En general buena limpieza, personal amable, hay cocina a disposición, baños limpios a toda hora, muy rico desayuno, nosotros compramos una palta para agregarle algo más y quedó perfecto, pero en general es un muy rico y completo desayuno tipo bufette con opciones. Tienen atención de bar y hay buen ambiente, espacios comunes bastante amplios donde compartir, alternativas de enchufes para cargar cualquier aparato en espacios comunes, mesitas para estar en jardines. Las habitaciones tienen muebles para guardar mochila y luces en cada cama (ideal seria tener un enchufe en cada cama junto a la luz).

Lo único que podría decir es que, en el caso de las habitaciones compartidas se siente bastante ruido en el pasillo, (único pasillo que une todas las habitaciones con el baño común) es bastante comprensible ya que hay gente que se mueve en distintos horarios y es todo compartido. Pero es para tenerlo en consideración al momento de elegir habitación compartida.

Okay value for money

The room was nice and clean. It had a little heater as well. Location is close to the bus terminal, shops and bakeries. The “breakfast included” only includes: tea/ coffee, bread and jam, with a fruit. Everything else you need to pay for. But there is a shop close by that sells eggs and other stuff - so you can mix your own food.

una semana para el recuerdo !!!

la atencion de los chicos fue genial,siempre con una sonrisa,especialmente la chica de las rastas,me hizo reir mucho,lo recomiendo y pienso volver muy pronto!!!

todo fue genial,solo le agregaria a las camas de habitaciones compartidas lo que he visto en hostales de japon,rusia dubai que he visitado,son cortinas para las camas,que al ser habitaciones mixtas le da un toque de intimidad que es necesario cuando hay mujeres y hombres en un mismo cuarto,siempre que busco en internet hostales,siempre elijo el que tenga cortinas,aunque sea un poco mas caro,vale la pena,pero en argentina casi no se usan cortinas,pero fue muy linda experiencia !!! saludos a los chicos desde la pampa

Pleasant

super nice staff and cute dog

frustrated since I booked a bus ticket with the hostel to el chalten the night before and paid the $. the lady told me I would get picked up at 7:30am so I showed the guy at the front desk in the morning my ticket asking if I would get picked up soon, he didn’t really help at all and seemed like he didn’t understand what was going on. I sat there until 7:45am and was nervous because no one had come to pick me up and the front desk guy didn’t explain anything to me or help so I had to go to the bus station and turns out I was in anyone’s system. I went to the company that pioneros booked me with, caltur, to go to chalten last time and I wasn’t in their system. luckily they were very helpful and called the hostel for me and the guy told them that the bus would’ve picked me up there and I missed it already. I had to pay for a whole new bus ticket which is so so frustrating!!!!

Bad

Well located between the bus stn and the town's center.

1. I ended up paying double the amount for my stay due to being charged in USD and not in Argentine Pesos like I was supposed to and confirmed by the APP (due to the exchange rate, this ended up being twice the actual reservation amount). I requested to pay the fee by card at the hostel and reverse the online transaction, which wouldn't have incurred any costs to them since I would have paid the same amount in ARS,, but the owner was adamant telling me there were no refunds (even though I wasn't asking for a refund). Poor service and understanding from the hostel's part. 2. A man who worked at the hostel came into the room without knocking while my wife was still in bed (he had keys to unlock the room). He apologized for the intrusion but this was very strange.

Old-school hostal that is in need of modernization.

Good location, nice hostal atmosphere, decent room, good showers, friendly staff.

The bathrooms were disgusting. All toilets had old fashioned pull strings to flush that didn’t work, so nobody was flushing their waste. It was gross.

Disappointing

Nice staff, hot shower, efficient laundry service.

The place felt like jail. The toilets are constantly broken, the rooms are from another century, everything seems like it's falling apart. 10min walk from center.

Comfortable, good facilities, great staff

Super friendly and helpful staff, good wifi, good kitchen facilities, large communal area. We had a private double room which was clean and comfortable (best nights sleep I’ve had in 3 weeks!) with a nice hot shower and sink in the room. Location was good, not too far from the bus station or downtown.

The breakfast was small, only toast and orange slices, we added our own fried eggs.
