We needed help booking our trip to Perito Moreno on a short notice and two of the women working in the Hostel really helped us enormously. We really appreciated their help and all of the staff were super friendly!

This hostel met my needs perfectly. 50m from the bus stop, comfortable bed. Also, they have a breakfast included but I didn’t have a chance to have it as I was leaving in the middle of the night.

Situated in El Chalten, Constantino Hostel by lo de Guille has a garden, shared lounge, bar, and free WiFi throughout the property. The accommodation features a shared kitchen, a concierge service and organising tours for guests. Pretty near from the bus station, so walkable distance, it is the Constantino Hostel. I was very well welcome and Gonza at the front desk was patient while I was organizing myself to pay with card + cash. The hostel is well located there are restaurants around and not far from main street. My room was good, we had a heater, I had 2 roommates, the bed was comfy and the bathroom was nearby. There was hot water in the shower, so that was good. The breakfast was served from 6:30am so, pretty cool to grab some breakfast and go start the hikes all around. The hostel is about ~1km to the main entrance to the park (beginning Fitz Roy walk and Chorrillo and Cerro Torre) Wifi was really good, so I could watch some youtube after walking the whole day. Gonza was nice explaining some routes to go to and also Eve (a volunteer) was really cheerful when I ran into her and shared about my walks. I was there before Christmas and everyone gathered together to spend the night before Christmas, I think that's cute!
