Located in El Chalten, Hostel del Lago, habitaciones privadas y cabañas features a garden, BBQ facilities and free WiFi throughout the property. The accommodation provides a shared kitchen, a shared lounge and currency exchange for guests. The vibe of the hostel was relaxed with a friendly, helpful staff. The two community areas were comfortable and great for hanging out to chat with other travelers and/or play games. Quiet hours were encouraged by the staff and respected by guests. Although the site says breakfast is not included, fresh eggs, bread, granola, and coffee were provided each morning. It was lovely! Kitchen facilities were great, too! We went on a multi-day backpacking trip and the hostel happily stored our extra belongings.

The property is set 300 metres from El Calafate Bus Station, 1.2 km from Regional Museum and 2.9 km from Nimez Lagoon. Guests can enjoy mountain views. The lady that runs it is amazing, very helpful and sweet. The place is spotless and it has comfy beds. There's a Mexican restaurant nearby. It's 6mins a bit up the hill - from the bus station but it's a bit far from town centre. I used it for one night coming back from El Chalten and taking flight the next day to Santiago.
