My favorite hostel during my trip to South America, no one else. There are many rules for check-in, but I like it this way. We make it clear in advance and follow it, so that everyone can maintain a good atmosphere in the youth hostel. The kitchen is large, with two sets of stoves, so everyone can cook without waiting for a long time. In Calafate in January, the sunset is very late, and the kitchen has great lighting. The breakfast is rich and delicious. The opening time is also suitable for the tours. The toilet and shower are very clean, the hot water for bathing is very large, and there is a hair dryer. It is not far from the bus station on foot, and it is convenient for public transportation. There is a small blue house at the intersection, which is a supermarket. It sells delicious beef and reasonable-priced Coke, hahaha.

The kitchen equipment was beyond expectations - it was comprehensive and enabled us to cook dinners without buying additional foundational ingredients. The heat was good, although a little bit noisy but we got used to it. The host helped us with any question or guidance needed. The bed was comfortable.

Jose Maria, the host, is a gem. He has thought of every single detail. He laid out different soaps, shampoos, candies, teas, everything you could think of. He is what makes the place so special. We came out to leave the property early and he had noticed our tire had a flat. He was gracious enough to get down and help us change the tire as well as accompany us to the mechanic to get the tire repaired. As we were leaving he made sure to give us a few tips as well as make sure our windshield was clean and clear. I would recommend accommodation to absolutely everyone coming to the area. The rooms were nice, inviting, and again the host was as lovely as could be.

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.

Perfect location for the bus and not far from the centre of the town. Great helpful staff. Able to organise trips and buses to other destinations (they are also a tour company). Always being cleaned and shared kitchen for a hostel was very clean. Food box for guests to leave excess food for other guests to use. They responded immediately to a problem with a leak in the bathroom.

This hostel was very clean, to be honest I wasn't expecting much because it was the cheapest hostel I could find, but it was perfect for me. My only suggestion would be to say that it would be great to have a little shelf so if you are on the upper bunk you have somewhere to put your phone / wallet. The wifi was super fast and the kitchen was spotless. I'll definitely return.
