Convenient if you are keeping yourself occupied with tours every day. Breakfast is ok, not paved roads on streets to main roads. Staff is knowledgeable and able to assist you in whatever you need.

Genuinely loved this place! Found it accidentally and was surprised how nice it was! Also the people/staffs and the atmosphere was incredible! Wish we'd stayed longer but would definitely choose the same place if we ever came back to El Calafate again!

The staff really went out of their way to help us book a tour To Torres Del Paine. The follow up was amazing and their help was above and beyond. Much appreciated!

The place was a bit like a poor youth hostel and the bathrooms reeked and there was sewage like smell in the room. The bunk bed was so so .. the only blessing is that the room windows actually opened and we could get fresh air into the room. The breakfast was nice .. the lounge area had lots of young tourists.

I had a great experience at this Hostel and I would recommend it to friends traveling in this area. They keep the place clean, and better than advertised when it comes to the energy of the place. Breakfast is great and the quality of the rooms is better than I’ve found elsewhere. The reason this place is so great is definitely because of the people who work there. Big thanks to Augustin, Micaela, and Bautista especially who were really kind and patient with me. They helped me organize tours and the bus system. My trip would have been les good without them. Huge thank you!

I had an excellent stay at Americana Del Sur! The rooms have only 4 beds and an ensuite bathroom, shower and lockers. The public area is great! Very comfortable coaches and tables, a outside deck and lawn furniture - and you can't beat the view from the all glass wall! The staff was AMAZING!!! All of them were so nice and remembered my name and even the smallest details of what was going on with me. Really personalized service. Very highly recommended!!

Very well maintained and great location.
Even though this is on the hill little outside of main area but short walking distance and nice separation to be quiet.
Facility is very clean and they offer laundry service which was great.
Also this hostel offer airport transportation and other fun tours cheaper than many of local tour companies, so you should reach out before taking taxi from the airport or booking online.

Fun public spaces! Rooms are euro-spartan, but have everything you need.

Great hostel, one of the best we’ve stayed in after 9 months travelling in South America. Staff are friendly and helpful, always willing to answer questions. Breakfast options are really good. Can book tours at the hostel, we booked Moreno Glacier and we booked the half day kayaking tour, which was incredible. The hostel also booked the bus for us which was convenient.

Comments on behalf of guest, Maddie (23 old) who is still travelling. Hostel was welcoming. Service was excellent and great food. Returning there in 3 days time after a hike. Plenty to see and do.
4.3
The staff was awesome and extremely helpful from the moment I made the reservation. They assisted with booking tours, which turned out to be the best choice. Additionally, the restaurant and common areas were perfect. Kudos to Matias and his staff at the restaurant the food and service was first first class! Overall, an awesome experience will definitely go back.

Very good atmosphere and nice view. You can spend hours at the lobby socialising, eating, drinking. Staff very helpful and friendly. Lamb BBQ amazing as well!
4.3
A bit far away from the main street and the bus station. Dirty toilet and bathroom in our room. Freezing during night time because of the leaky window. No towel, shampoo or shower cream. Poor wifi in the room. 2L water bought at the reception costs 100 pesos, but in the supermarket on the main street only 29-40 pesos. Poor breakfast.
Nice staff, very helpful. Great lobby with nice view.

This was my first time ever staying at a hostel and I am glad I chose this place. It has a very relaxed vibe and the staff is very friendly. The majority of the hostel guest were fellow backpackers and younger people. It was clean and the staff was really nice. The food was a bit pricey however

This was my first time staying at a hostel and I can say that I will avoid hostels from here on out. The hostel itself is actually a nice. I’m just not a fan of sleeping with other people in the room...whom I don’t know. The energy of the hostel is welcoming. The location is pretty good as it’s a brisk 10 minute walk to Centro. Many shops, eateries, ATMs, etc in Centro. As well, if you hadn’t made accommodations for excursions then there are several touring companies in Centro. The hostel has a restaurant inside but I didn’t get a chance to eat there. However, I would say the food is pretty tasty based on other guests of the hotel who did order from the restaurant.

What a great hostel. America del Sur is located on a hill over looking the town of Calafate and the lake. The hostel has big glass windows giving you the outside view from inside the hostel. The staff are really friendly and hospitable. There is a restaurant as well as a hostel kitchen. Over all its a great place to meet other travelers and get a goodnights sleep.
4.3
Super friendly staff and beautiful view over the lake. 15 minutes walk from the bus station and 10 from downtown. The breakfast buffet even offers raw eggs that you can fry or boil the way you like!
4.3
Stayed in a double room with en-suite. The hostel is c. 20 mins walk away from the centre and the double room appeared to be in a new part of the hostel, but very basic. I did not consider the room and place value for money (charged c. €90 per night) and would recommend going elsewhere in El Calafate if you're choosing the private room option. Very busy hostel, wifi is crap in the room, nice common room with bar, kitchen and outdoor seating area, basic breakfast.
4.3
Great place to stay and very friendly staff. Good location too .
