The hostel is located in the main street, the showers and toilets are clean and big. The rooms (bed) are confortable but a little tight. The owner (Omar) and the staff are very kind, ready to help all the time. I was there during New Year’s Eve and we (the guests) were able to do a party there (they can be very flexible). It was a great time!

Great location, the hosts were super kind and helpful and made our stay feel really special. Highly recommended. The showers were hot, and it's well connected to the city. Great place to come back to after a long hike. Highly recommended as it’s 10 mins walk from the entrance to the National Park. The restaurant options nearby are great too. Really comfy beds.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

Rancho Grande is at a great location in El Chaltén - close to the start of all the famous trekking trails. The restaurant area is open 24/7 - food is great (huge and delicious Milanesas! By staying in the hostel, I got 10% discount for all dinners. The atmosphere is very cozy, perfect for an after-hike relaxation. The kitchen area is big, common areas are well-designed.

The staff were incredibly helpful and one of the cleanest hostels I’ve stayed in. Rooms had lockers and there were plenty of showers and toilets so I never had to wait. Best location for hikes as well as you’re a 2 minute walk from the base. Charged in the official currency as well which makes it even cheaper than advertised in GBP.

Cosy hostel, good staff, great location for the v popular Laguna de Los Tres hike. One of the dorm rooms has two beds and they let us switch, so effectively a private twin (bunkbed) room for the same price.
