No complaints or over praise. Easy check in, friendly staff, decent breakfast, they helped with calling a taxi to the bus station as well. Rooms and bathrooms are old and could use some care but they’re clean. Beds were comfortable as well. Great for the price.
The two women that run the hostal are excellent and really make the place. The hostal itself is average. Coffee terrible. We would go back just because the service is so great.

Loved the rose garden, like in photo. Room clean but old and worn. Nice staff (who spoke English). Good location to downtown (2 blocks). Only bad was the very loud noise of toilet flushing.

Rose garden lovely, as in photo. Rooms really old and worn, tho clean.
Good, attentive service from staff. Hosteria is in a good location close to the main Street in El Calafate. The plumbing and extractor fans made horrible noises but the room was clean and as expected for the price.

Compact but Very Clean..
Good:
Clean comfortable beds and a walk in shower. The breakfast was basic but very good choice and enough to keep you going.
Bad:
The Wi-Fi was unstable, sometimes okay other times dead.
Comfortable hotel close to the center of El Calafate with a reasonable price. Staff were always friendly and helpful, booked several things for us: taxi from airport, bus to/from El Chalten, New Years eve dinner. Just a couple of blocks away from Hielo y Aventura, supermarket, and various restaurants.
We stayed for one night and it was perfect for our needs. A welcoming smile on arrival, a comfortable bed and great water pressure. Only a 15 minute walk to the bus station for trips to the glacier and the staff couldn’t have been more helpful.

Basic B&B with all you need. It’s within 5-10 mins walk to town Center, the plus is it’s quieter. The host is very friendly and helpful.
Had a minor issue with plumbing, was given a room move with no issue or complications!
Nice quiet spaces to sit and read in the sun.
Helped organize my tours at very competitive prices.
No complaints and would definitely stay here again. (best empanada store next door and supermarket too.

Thank you Shabir for staying with us! It was a plasure to host you!
The hotel was lovely, the room was nice and big and both the room and bathroom were very clean. Very friendly staff and not too far from the main road of shops and restaurants. Good value for money and would happily recommend if you're staying in El Calafate.

Thanks for your feedback. We are very happy that you liked our place.
A bargain price for the space they gave us and for how large and clean the bathroom is. It is a small walk up from the town but only 5-10 min walk to the bank and great restaurants.
The rooms are spread far enough apart that hearing others isn’t a problem and there is a grocery store right around the corner for cheap wine and beer.
The concierge booked our return shuttle and I heard her booked dinner reservations for a large group. Very helpful.

Thanks for your review!
Perfect place. Run by a partnership of women and it shows. Some nice touches throughout. CLEAN !!! Room has a CHAIR and a luggage stand - awesome. Staff was SO FRIENDLY AND HELPFUL, particularly Noelia who spoke great English and helped with some logistics. My luggage got mishandled by transport service (long story) and the staff helped me track it down - so helpful. Location great, just outside the main street - and easy walk to all. WIFI wonderful. Breakfast terrific with nice setting. Awesome place.

Thank you Mark for your feedback. We are very glad of being able to help you and make your stay more comfortable.
The service is what makes this place truly special. From moment one the lady at reception couldn’t have been more helpful, whether explaining the basics or helping out with transfers and printing airport documentation.
The accomodation itself was also absolutely fab. Clean, comfortable rooms at a great price. We can not recommend this place highly enough!

Good place to stay in El Calafate. Supermarket and restaurants are close to the hostel and the staff is friendly. Rooms were pretty clean and comfortable. Not a fancy place but it has all the things you're looking for in a stay.

Thanks for your review! we are glad you enjoyed your time in Calafate.
I stayed at this hostel for 3 nights and Staffs took care of me like we were long lost friends. Everything is reasonable, kitchen facilities quite small and hostel doesn't allow customers to cook by themselves. It makes sense tho, otherwise it is gonna be messed for sure!! Room is clean and tidy. Location is closed to the main road as well. Breakfast is simple like you are home. I just need to thank hostel's staff again as she made my stay pleasant.

It was very nice to meet you two. Cheers!
Fiquei apenas 1 noite. A estrutura é simples, comum dessa região, mas tudo limpo e arrumado. A princípio achei que seria ruim porque a recepcionista não ficava o tempo todo no local mas quando precisei de secador, deixei recado e ela voltou pouco tempo depois com o secador no nosso quarto. Foi muito gentil, chamou um transfer para me levar ao aeroporto, o café da manhã foi satisfatório. Pelo custo-benefício foi o esperado.
O hotel é muito simples mas perfeito, limpo, bem localizado. O melhor são as pessoas gentilíssimas, sempre prontas a ajudar, a sugerir restaurantes, passeios. Adorei e recomendo.
