Bien

Lo mejor es la relación calidad precio y el personal del hostel, que en todo momento es excelente.

La cama es muy incomoda al igual que la almohada. Las sábanas tenían demasiadas pelotitas y eso las hacía muy ásperas.

런치박스 리뉴얼해주세요

조식이 나와서 좋았습니다. 제법 큰 호스텔인데 깔끔해서 좋아요.

편한듯 묘하게 불편했고 런치박스는 비싸고 정말 맛없습니다. 가격대비아니고 싸도 맛없는 맛입니다. 친구랑 2가지 맛으로 사갔는데 둘다 노맛이에요

Would definitely recommend Folk Hostel!

Lovely hostel with great kitchen and good location. Love the common area and friendly staff. Really great showers as well! Breakfast was okay, nothing special. Would definitely recommend staying at Folk

The price you end up paying is higher than the one on Booking if you pay cash. This should be fixed in order to avoid surprises for the guests!

Super nice and kind of new hostel

Ok for a night before/after bus ride

Very good breakfast buffet Right next to the bus station (5min walk)

A little bit off the city center Expensive for what you get in the room without private bathroom Staff trying to charge you a lot more (60 USD) when you book there directly than what you get on booking.com with genius discount (37 USD)

Tutto ottimo

Pulizia, arredamento, help-desk, Mood generale dell'ostello, posizione defilata ma comoda

Forse avrei messo delle tende ai singoli letti per la privacy ma non mi è pesato non averle

Aanrader voor El Calafate.

Ligging vlak bij het busstation en net buiten de stad makkelijk op loopafstand. Mooi, comfortabel, rustig en modern hostel. Goed uitgebreid ontbijtbuffet. Vriendelijk personeel.

Door de grote van het hostel en het aantal gasten kan het gehorig zijn in de slaapkamers. Kamer met eigen badkamer is de beste keuze.

Great hostel

Great facilities, clean and tidy kitchen. Friendly staff. Room was great, cleaned daily. 5 min walk to bus station, 10 min walk into town centre.

Breakfast could have a few more options/be a little more varied but still fine and very typical of a free hostel breakfast.

Tolles helles Hostel mit viel Platz und großer Küche

Tolles Hostel mit allem, was man braucht. Gemütliche Betten (allerdings keine Vorhänge), Küche mit Utensilien zur Selbstverpflegung. Heller und freundlicher Gemeinschaftsbereich. Fahrräder zum Ausleihen (3€/Stunde). Sehr nah am Busterminal und trotzdem nicht weit von der Stadt. Großzügige Duschräume mit vielen Waschbecken, Toiletten und Duschen. Die freundlichen Hostelmitarbeiter stehen immer für ein Schwätzchen zur Verfügung und buchen einem auch die Bustickets zB nach El Chaltén.

Frühstück besteht wie überall in Argentinien nur aus Süßkram und ist nicht wirklich gesund. Muss man sich selbst etwas „aufpimpen“. Preise für ein Dormbett aufgrund der Saison einfach krass hoch 🙈.

Estadia perfeita para el calafate

Tudo muito, MUITO organizado. Café da manhã simples, mas muito bom tb. A localização, perto da rodoviária e não tão longe do centro tb ajuda muito. Possivelmente o melhor Hostel em que já fiquei.

Fora os roncos comuns a quartos compartilhados, absolutamente nada a reclamar

Tolles Hostel mit super Frühstück

Tolles Hostel mit großem Gemeinschaftsbereich und Außenbereich. Kompetentes und sehr hilfsbereites Personal. Es wird mehrmals am Tag geputzt. Das Frühstück ist super und reichhaltig. Die Lage ist super, in der Nähe des Busbahnhofes und ins Zentrum auch nur 20 Minuten.

lovely place with nice atmosphere

We stayed here for 5 nights, over christmas, and we loved this hostel! The living / dining room is big and comfortable, the breakfast buffet has everything one might look for and the staff was really open and friendly, espacially Franco :)

We stayed in a 8 peoples dorm, which meant that you always woke up when others got up packing in early morning, espacially because the door didn‘t close properly - which we told staff and should be repared by now!

Maravilloso!

Las habicationes son grandes, con camas muy cómodas y lockers Gigantes donde pude colocar mis dos mochilas (una carguera de 60L + una mochila de 40L). Todas las cocheras tenían luz y enchufes individuales. Los baños estaban siempre limpios. La cocina está muy bien equipada y las áreas comunes son cómodas. La gente del staff y otros huéspedes eran muy copados. El clima del Hostel es sensacional. Además, está a 5 minutos caminando desde la terminal de bus.

Superb

Very nice hostel, everything seemed quite new. Comfortable bed, light and plug-in close to bed. Clean and comfy common space and kitchen. Garbage is separated. Good breakfast. Very friendly and easy-going staff. I would come again!

WIFI connection is unstable and very slow. It would be nice to have curtains around the bed and to have some salty options and a vegan milk for breakfast. Electricity was cut almost every day of my stay for a few hours, but it happened in the whole town and not only in the hostel.

Good

The room was good, 2 bunkbeds (4 people), lockers (bring your own lock), with respectable room mates it felt clean, quiet, and comfortable. The toilets were more than enough for the number of people in the hostel, and were clean. It is great to have breakfast in the morning as part of the stay, even if it is a simple breakfast. The staff were very helpful explaining ideas of what to do in Calafate, including communicating via whatsapp before arriving NOTE: the payment was done using the highest USD>ARS conversion rate on the Banco de la Nacion website (cotizacion billetes), instead of the rate used by booking.com, or the reference rate found on Google.com, or the rate from the Banco de la Nacion for currency conversion (cotizacion divisas), so expect to pay 3-4% more in ARS than what is quoted by bookin.com.
