Was a nice stay and the hostel grew on me the longer I was there. It is fairly large and has a slightly old school hostel feel to it. The staff are very friendly and helpful and they were really the most positive thing about the hostel for me. Bathrooms were fine and hot showers. Breakfast was generous. Location was very good with many restaurants and cafes close by. You could cook in their kitchen. If you fancy some exercise and save a couple of dollars you can walk to or from the bus station in about 25mins. The hostel can help book tours.
It's the same with every hostel but would be nice to have some healthy option with the breakfast.....fast becoming diabetic in south America.

the staff are very attentive to what i need and response to my reply promtly, even taught me how to use the stove at kitchen and helped me to open the can of tuna with the can opener that i have no idea on how to use it. the room is warm enough, the bed is so comfy and i was able to fall asleep in a short time. share kitchen is available for cooking which is great for traveller who need to prepare much for their day tour. self service laundry is a great facility for me to do laundry after a week journey.
the size and walkway of the room do not allow me to open the luggage on the floor, i feel guilty for putting my luggage on the other bed inside my room the breakfast is quite simple and unable to fill up my stomach

I stayed here for 3 nights in total and actually preferred the rooms using the public bathrooms than private, as they felt more spacious (also upstairs rooms feel much more light and airy). The hostel provides good accommodation for the price paid. Each of the beds have curtains around which I really liked, as it felt like a little private space when you wanted alone time. Rooms are basic but perfectly functional, with lockable storage for each bed. The breakfast is included and is scrambled eggs, fruit, and cereal choices along with fruit juice and coffee. The bathrooms are perfectly functional and the shower was fab: good hot water and pressure!! The kitchen area is well equipped with plenty of fridge space. The huge added bonus is the help I received with a lovely lady on reception, I asked lots of quesions and she was always happy to help which was great, so a massive thank you to her. I booked the Perito Moreno Glacier tour with the hostel and was impressed with it. The only downside is the 10,000 peso charge to use the washer and dryers, which I thought seemed a little much, but I am not experienced enough to know this for sure. This is only the second hostel I have ever stayed in and would stay again should I visit Calafate in the future.

The location is great, it's very central and close to the main street. Breakfast was good too, hostels in Argentina tend to be incredibly cheap with breakfast but this one had eggs (a luxury compared to other hostels in the country!), bread, cereal, milk, fruits and coffee. The building is beautiful and it has several common spaces so it's great for solo travelers, you can make friends easily.
Some of the staff were helpful, others weren't. I struggled to get through the doors with my big, heavy backpack and suitcase, and TWO receptionists just stood there staring. They wouldn't even help holding the door. Some used earbuds were on my shelf, so cleaning could be improved. But all of the hostels I've stayed at in Argentina have the same issue, so that wouldn't stop me from staying there again.

Very nice hostel, well designed with plenty of space for meeting other travelers and so your own meditation. The staff were absolutely dedicated to help and share local directions. Big kitchen with nicely setup dining area. Good idea with a video camera overlooking the food shelves and fridge.
It was a bit noisy at night. Perhaps I was just not lucky with my roommates. The breakfast was plenty. However, for the 3 days that I spent there, there was no change in the menu selection. The relaxing furniture is a bit worn, including the springs. A little uplift would help. And, of course, having a towel as part of the price per night would be a great plus.

The hostel location is really good, just a couple of blocks away from downtown. I had a private room which was comfortable, a big restroom, and a daily room cleaning service (which was a big surprise). Breakfast was ok-ish. The staff were great, super polite and helpful.
There's no sound isolation. I could hear every conversation happening in other rooms, people walking, and people closing doors. The room was also very cold, I'm not sure how they work during winter because I was freezing at times now in the midst of summer.

Really nice place, good breakfast, including eggs, with the option of adding hot sauce, I arrived before check in and was able to lock my things away until the room was ready, staff really friendly and willing to help with advice and booking tours and buses, also offers slight discounts on bookings than buying direct from companies, good size kitchen for making food so your not cramped in, really nice living room, nice bathroom connected to the bedroom so not needing to go to a different part of the building, nice garden, located in town close to shops / restaurants etc, only about 20-30 mins walk to bis station, they also offer, again discounted, transfers to / from airport

The bed was the best, very confortable and stable and clearly clean and it had courtens!! There was a lot of storage space that you could safely lock (we had our locks). There was a practical shelf and lamp for each bed. And you did not need an adaptar to charge devices. Perfect! There is soap for hands in the bathrooms. The included breakfast was huge and I, as a vegan, had cereals, almond milk, fruit, bread and marmalade! I am totally happy! The kitchen was good!
You could not lock bathroom's doors. There is only one place to wash dishes (there are a lot of people).

It’s fantastic - I was in a bunk in 4 bed dorm. Curtain, my own light & phone charger, ensuite bathroom, great shower. The staff on reception are very nice, helpful. Breakfast is fantastic! Cereal, eggs , toast, piece of fruit & unlimited tea, coffee. Kitchen open 24 hours. Tour to glacier, taxis & bus can be booked at hostel. Nice garden also.
Just a small thing - room 8 it was difficult to close door of room & bathroom , opening /closing door to bathroom when others asleep very noisy. An easy job for a carpenter
