The location of the hostel is great and the views are amazing! You can get good food from the bar but you can also cook in the shared kitchen by yourself! Breakfast was good too! Best of all, the staff working there is amazing. They helped me when I had some struggles and in general keeps a lovely vibe in the hostel! I loved my stay!

Woow I was so surprised by hospitality of host. I booked last minute . Came after midnight. She was not sleeping and waiting me . And not with angry face but with smile and gave me room without nobody inside (even if I booked 4 beds dormitory) . Like this I didn’t disturbed sleeping people . Everything was net and tidy in the structure . I was able to use all kitchen Coffe/tea even after 00:00 when I checked in. In the morning lady made all possible to find taxi as I was heading to airport early morning .hospitality 5 stars ! Would come back again :)

Location. Literally in front of the bus station. There is a kitchen with a refrigerator and a microwave. Calm and quiet place. I would prefer to stay again. It's worth money with breakfast, too.

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.

The tours they offer in the hostel are much cheaper than the ones you see on the internet or in agencies in the city center. I definitelly recommend taking a tour with the hostel, I did and it was really worth it! The beds are comfortable, internet was okay, there is a very well equipped kitchen, clean toilets. Hot showers. Warm sheets.

Nice quiet hostel only 10mins walk from the main hub of town. Kitchen was pretty well equipped. The people working there were really helpful and we booked a trip to Perito Moreno with them for much cheaper than we'd seen online.

Well-located hostel, with all the supplies needed for a short or long stay. They also provide a few services (tours to perito moreno + airport shuttles) with a very competitive price. Since the pick up for all these services is at the hostel door, it's super convenient and cheaper than all the other tours we could find.
