Rancho Grande Hostel is a large ranch-style hostel with stunning views of the Patagonian Mountains. Free WiFi is available throughout the property.

Accommodation at Rancho Grande Hostel includes mixed dormitories with shared bathrooms and private rooms with en suite bathrooms. All have simple furnishings with bright yellow walls. Great place! Great people, very comfortable, although I was on the upper bed on the bunk bed I had space to put my stuff that was really comfortable in addition to an electric plug which really made everything easy.

It features white and honey wood exteriors and is conveniently located only 2 blocks from San Martin Avenue, the main commercial street. Fantastic stay!! Great hosts, location and value for money.

Situated in El Chalten, Constantino Hostel by lo de Guille has a garden, shared lounge, bar, and free WiFi throughout the property. The accommodation features a shared kitchen, a concierge service and organising tours for guests. Pretty near from the bus station, so walkable distance, it is the Constantino Hostel. I was very well welcome and Gonza at the front desk was patient while I was organizing myself to pay with card + cash. The hostel is well located there are restaurants around and not far from main street. My room was good, we had a heater, I had 2 roommates, the bed was comfy and the bathroom was nearby. There was hot water in the shower, so that was good. The breakfast was served from 6:30am so, pretty cool to grab some breakfast and go start the hikes all around. The hostel is about ~1km to the main entrance to the park (beginning Fitz Roy walk and Chorrillo and Cerro Torre) Wifi was really good, so I could watch some youtube after walking the whole day. Gonza was nice explaining some routes to go to and also Eve (a volunteer) was really cheerful when I ran into her and shared about my walks. I was there before Christmas and everyone gathered together to spend the night before Christmas, I think that's cute!
