Exceptional hostel! Super clean, each room has their own clean shower and bathroom, the common rooms and terrace is a dream, the food is super fresh and tasty and the staff is incredibly friendly! Alan at reception was particularly helpful with tips and advise on getting the most of Patagonia. I had such a great stay I booked this hostel again.

The location is excellent. It is a new property and stylishly decorated. The rooms are large and very comfortable. The quality of the linen etc was excellent. Mine had a balcony which was comfortably sized and ideal for a pre dinner drink. What really made our stay, however, was the staff. We were welcomed warmly and every effort was made to assist us in every respect including going out of their way to find a money exchange facility on the morning we left. It was truly outstanding service. One of us managed to take the room key with us when we left and staff were able to quickly make arrangements to collect it from us at the bus station.

This was the best apartment we've stayed in throughout our three weeks in South America thus far. It was spacious, clean, had all the amenities you need, and was in a central location in town. The host was also kind and helpful. All was good!

this place is perfect. its nearly brand new. it was designed and built to very high standards. everything works great from super fast wifi to great water pressure with great hot water control. guess it helps to have a car but very short ride or easy walk to town. booked last minute and got an incredible deal for such high quality. staff are also outstanding.

    The staff were really helpful and friendly and helped us to book a tour to the glacier with them for cheaper than we had found online, and a taxi to the bus station. The hostel was well maintained and very clean. They provided free coffee and some basic cooking items such as oil. The kitchen was very well stocked with utensils and crockery - perfect for us as we cooked all of our meals during our stay.

    Perfect location for the bus and not far from the centre of the town. Great helpful staff. Able to organise trips and buses to other destinations (they are also a tour company). Always being cleaned and shared kitchen for a hostel was very clean. Food box for guests to leave excess food for other guests to use. They responded immediately to a problem with a leak in the bathroom.

    This property was amazing. Such a great location, close to town and easy to get about both in the day and late in the evening. Very clean and lots of facilities in the kitchen to use which was great. Florencia is a fab host so helpful and friendly. When our flight was delayed she let us stay longer and we were very grateful!

    This hostel was very clean, to be honest I wasn't expecting much because it was the cheapest hostel I could find, but it was perfect for me. My only suggestion would be to say that it would be great to have a little shelf so if you are on the upper bunk you have somewhere to put your phone / wallet. The wifi was super fast and the kitchen was spotless. I'll definitely return.

    Ideal location near the Calafate bus station (5 mins walk up the road), I stayed for one night between coming in from Chalten and going on to Puerto Natales - on this basis I can fully recommend the hostel. It is comfortable, the staff are extremely friendly and accommodating (the welcome from the dog was an added bonus), and it is great value for money. Cheap and decent food in the evening (perfect after a bus ride), and solid breakfast in the morning.
