This place has won many awards and is proclaimed as one of the best hostels in South America. We arrived with great expectations, which sadly were not met. Although the building itself IS very impressive, the sheer size of the place means you tend to feel a little like cattle. There can be nearly 80 people here at one time... more

Though not right in the centre of El Calafate, it is a short walk to restaurants, etc. The staff was very attentive, learning our names almost immediately. They can provide for excursions, box lunches, restaurant recommendations, and even loaned me a AA battery charger overnight. The views of the lake from the public areas and from our room (nice double... more

Stayed here for one night and it seemed a pretty nice place with nice friendly staff and a good bar. It is situated just outside the main part of town up on a hill where lots of new developments seem to be getting built. Rooms are clean and spacious and they seem to have plenty of excursions available. One thing... more

It was pretty basic but clean. About 10 min walk from town. Overall if you want upmarket 'posh' hotel then steer clear but for young travellers wanting a good buzz... more

After spending months backpacking through Europe and staying in hostels, this was one of the nicest. Every room had heated hardwood floors, the staff was incredibly friendly and spoke perfect English. They also were very helpful organizing excursions. Be aware that this hostel isn't on the main strip in Calafate, but it is a really short walk and you have... more

Cool Spot - Very friendly people, nice rooms and great chillout room! They were very helpful sorting out the trip to Perito Moreno Glacier and also in organising our next hostel in Puerto Natales for our Torres Del Paine trip. Definitely worth checking out. more
