Great location, good price, but the staff is what makes this hostel so great. I especially appreciate Juan and the empathy and support he showed me on my last day in Calafate. He truly cares about the guests and their comfort. Thanks, Juan, you're the best! :)

The apartments are immaculate, spacious and very well equipped. We didn’t eat in but the kitchen had everything you would need if you wanted to cook. Santiago was extremely helpful and obviously cares - from helping with taxis or places to eat to the small details in the apartment like beautiful picture books of the national parks.

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 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.
