Lovely place to stay! A short walk away from the Main Street, awesome helpful friendly staff, and a very chill atmosphere.

Great location. Great front desk service. Rooms are old and can be loud (sounds of cars driving driving by) if they are located next to the street

The worst beds EVER!! They are so hard it’s like sleeping on rocks. Breakfast was mediocre and the lady that serves has the worst attitude. Bathroom was tiny and bedroom was so warm we had to open the window.
Best to stay somewhere else.
6.0
Excellent location to supermarket, money exchange. Staffs were extremely friendly. But we had to move to another room after one night, very loud from street noises and extremely thin walls. If next door neighbors stay up late, you can’t sleep as you hear every noises, alarm ringing. But the staffs were extremely friendly and helpful in everything.
4.0
Really friendly staff that speak good English. They were very helpful in setting up tours and transport and offered better prices than surrounding agencies. Shower was a bit temperamental but all in all great value and good location.
3.0
Front desk is extremely helpful but the facility is run down and not clean (especially the back area where the refrigerators and small courtyard are). The single beds are too small and move around easily (not very heavy beds). They're not standard size twin beds. The location is great though, very close to town. Breakfast is the same every day and not much to be desired.
5.0
Tremendous value for your $$. We highly recommend this place. Just know place does feel a bit like a hostel. The walls are thin and the breakfast was very basic (though they do provide scrambled eggs upon request). However, the beds are very comfortable. There’s also a kitchen if you feel like cooking abd they have the best staff who’ve helped us with taxis, places to eat, etc., etc. DO NOT pay in advance. Wait till you get there and pay in pesos (they give an excellent exchange rate so you save A LOT). We were happy with our 3 nights there.

We had a great stay at Schilling. The hosts here are the best! They know everything and really help you make the most of your trip to Patagonia. I would definitely come back again. It is really close to the town and they serve eggs with breakfast which is really nice since so many places only do toast and coffee.

Helpful stuff to provide advice for our questions. They provide lunch box for day hikes. The meat sandwich we got from the hotel is the best in our 2 weeks of hiking try

Great vibe and staff. The facilities are basic, but functional and clean. Very close to the main street through town. We stayed there several days, enjoying the included breakfast each morning and used their laundry service once. Great hostel!

Good central location and value for money though hostel style. Our room had good facilities and staff were very helpful.
3.0
Very friendly hostel in a great location. It is a 5 minute walk to the main business district with loads of restaurants and shopping. Nothing in the hostel is new, but everything is clean and they go out of their way to make sure you are comfortable. I used their laundry service and they helped me with some travel logistics. the breakfast in the morning has basic toast and cakes typical of Argentina but also fresh scrambled eggs. I stayed here 4 nights and would stay here again.

Brilliant hostel. We booked a private room. Breakfast was included and was good for the price. Staff were very helpful with booking tours. Would recommend. We were a couple aged 55 and 67.
2.0
Good location re the center of El Calafate. Some outside noise. A lot of inside noise. Management should put sponge around the room door frames to minimize the noise of door banging when closed. Walls are very thin (seem thin) because we could hear everything going on in the adjacent room. The breakfast egg chef was not at her station, she was having coffee talking with the receptionist. We did not use the wifi.
2.0
Good location. Very noisy. Doors could use sound dampning sponge. Walls are very thin. Breakfast lady who makes the eggs is sitting and chatting with the receptionist. Good location
3.0
Great location in El Calafete, about 5 minute walk to downtown and 25 minute walk to Lago Argentina. The buses to El Chalten will pick you up at the hostel. The bus station is a 5 minute taxi ride from the bus station. Helpful and friendly bilingual staff have great recommendations and will help book tours, taxis, buses, etc. we were traveling with a 15 month baby and they have cribs available. This was our second stay here in a couple of years and it was excellent both times!
3.0
Double room with private bathroom was excellent, perfect for a travelling couple. Room was clean, well heated and shower was good. It was also excellent value for money. Staff were very helpful in assisting with booking buses to El Chalten, and also gave us 10% discount coupon for our trip to the Glaciarium (which is well worth a visit to learn more about glaciers before you go to Perito Moreno).
There is communal kitchen access from midday until 10pm which is great for those looking to cook themselves - they have multiple gas hobs and two ovens.
The communal area is also welcoming with a variety of board games and puzzles to keep you entertained.
Breakfast consisted of toast and jams, yoghurt, scrambled eggs, and also a selection of cakes. Breakfast started at 6.30am but the staff were very accommodating in allowing for an even earlier start time if necessary for those who had an early bus or an early tour booked in the morning.

The staff is very helpful and I love that the kitchen is available. I stayed in a dorm for three nights and a single for one night, each were comfortable and clean. The showers are dated but the water was always warm.

Pros:
- Staff are friendly and helpful
- Breakfast is great
- Fully functional kitchen
- Hostel is generally clean and cozy
- Close to city centre
Cons:
- Wifi is only working in common area. Not working at all in the rooms
- You need to turn the water on for 5 mins before the hot water comes. We had cold shower on the first day. Shower is quite weak.
- There is no trash bin or even plastic bag in the room which is quite inconvenient.
You have all basic amenities you need for a budget option.

The hostel is located near the main street, restaurants and businesses. The staff is very helpful and internet works quite well for Patagonia! Also, common areas are actually nice to hang out/work and the kitchen is clean and well equipped. We had a room for two which was quite spacious, but it could have been a little warmer.
5.0
I liked the communal kitchen; dishes for cooking, cutlery, stove was provided and it appeared that everyone cleaned up after themselves. People were very helpful and shared excursion stories. Stuff was very welcoming and assisted with making reservations and providing suggestions on where to go, where to shop.
The furniture in the communal area is a little "tired", but otherwise, this hostel fit exactly our expectation. We especially liked the little inner garden with the cherry trees.
