"Nice, and importantly for us, quiet hostel. While there was a shared kitchen and bathroom this was not a young party hostel. It was very quiet and very clean. Nothing fancy, but no complaints from us. It's just a few blocks from the main street for restaurants and shops. And we made use of the kitchen for breakfast, lunch and one dinner. "

"Hotel ziet er op het eerste gezicht leuk uit. Echter valt de hygiëne erg tegen (vieze lakens, opgewassen dekens, haren van anderen in het bed, vieze dweil in de badkamer). Verder was het ten tijde van ons bezoek erg warm in El Calafate. In onze hotelkamer stond de kachel de hele nacht op volle kracht te branden en hier konden we niets aan doen (behalve de ramen open zetten). Het was veelste heet."
