Very nice, helpful staff and nice accommodation. This is a hostel, not a hotel, so for its purposes, it was perfect for us.

This is not right in the middle of puerto iguazu, and puerto iguazu is so hot that it matters.Most of the room was clean but not all of it.The owner is really nice and would help you as much as you need and is really friendly.Breakfast was enough for me.

I was a bit nervous about staying at a youth hostel in my age (mid-40s). But as long as you stay at a twin or double room, it was pretty much the same as in a typical budget hotel. The use of common kitchen can be regarded as an extra bonus. Besides, the reception was great. Considering my tight travel schedule, I wanted to book the tours in advance. The English-speaking male receptionist called Facundo handled my request without any errors even if I made my request 5.5 months before my arrival at the hostel. Also, the heater in my room got broken and I notified the fact around 5 p.m. The female receptionist promised me to take care of the situation in several hours. I doubted that the heating would actually be recoverd. However, the heating did in fact recovered by 10 p.m. and I enjoyed the comfortable stay though I borrowed extra blankets in preparation for non-recovery of heater considering the nature of late evening repair works.

What a nice hostel! Very clean. Nice big kitchen and common area. The rooms are pretty comfortable. The staff goes out of their way to provide advice, information of the local areas, and are just friendly too. Id highly recommend a stay here. Convenient to the beach and the grocery store as well.

Great hostel, positioned between bus terminal and beach. Staff are friendly and helpful booking excursions. There is plenty of communal space to relax and hammocks in the garden. Kitchen is also large and well equipped. The double room was very clean and tidy. A really good standard for a hostel, even had cable TV and large flat screen. Breakfast is poor and the rooms could be more soundproof, otherwise fantastic.

We had a great stay in Puerto Madryn and at the Hostel Gualichio. The staff is exceptional, very customer-oriented, and always willing to go the extra mile. They arranged a tour to the Peninsula Valdes for a reasonable rate. The room we had was very good, large and with lots of light and a private bath. The first night there were noises coming in through the roof and when we reported the noise they were up there right away to investigate: it was a loose tree branch and they took care of cutting it back right away. The common areas are large and comfortable. You have a safe in the private rooms and you have to be buzzed in through a gate, so the security is good too (although really, Puerto Madryn feels safe everywhere). The only downside is the very limited breakfast choices: cereal or bread and jam. If they could expand breakfast, this place would be almost perfect!

Overall, i was very happy with our stay at El Gualicho. The hostel was very nice and conveniently located near the beach. The staff was extremely helpful and fairly fluent in English. Breakfast was very basic, mostly bread, coffee, and corn flakes. Note: they accept CASH ONLY, which I didn't realize. They offer a better exchange rate for US Dollars, better than the market price. (At the time, it was 8 to 1.) Wish the towels were newer.

Really nice hostel. We stayed in a private room. It was very clean with lots of space. Good facilities for cooking your own meal. The only downsite was the breakfast, but it is easy to get buy your own supplement to upgrade it.
