The host is lovely and super responsive. Communication was very easy. We needed extra bath towels and some hangers, 10 min later she dropped them off. The apartment has a small kitchen which is in the living room. The heater in the living room is amazing. The room is heated in no time and it is pretty easy to control the temperature. There is a separate bathroom (not heated) and a separate bedroom (also not heated) with a double bed (kind of small for people who are used to American king size beds ;-) ) but there are 2 (stacked) single matresses in the living room, which I guess are meant to also serve as 'kind of a sofa' when not used as beds. The living room also has a dining table with chairs and a bench, enough seating for 4 people. The location is ok, it is about a 10-15 min walk to the main street of El Calafate. The closest grocery store is on the pricy side and has very limited variety. We always walked to the La Anonima grocery store on the main street, Av. del Libertador 902.

Host was very pleasant, happy, with a great attitude. The price was right for this unit. Good low price and the quality was consistent with the price. We just needed a bed for one night after coming in from El Chalten before our flight the next morning. Place is clean but age and condition is very apparent.

    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.

    Very clean, spacious and cosy room, was very quiet and with a nice view to the inner courtyard. The location of the hotel is also great, just around 5 mins by walk to the main street with shops and restaurants. Bit far from the bus station but the taxi is cheap. Breakfast was excellent with a lot of options. Stuff was very friendly and helpful. They allowed me to leave the luggage after checkout and also helped to order the taxi to the bus station.

    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.
