Albergue & Hostal del Glaciar Libertador - HI Reviews

Everything was great! we loved it, except but the Kitchen, was very dirty, didn't have forks or knifes. No glasses neither. The refrigerator smelled bad ... No good at all.

Excellent value for money, however the breakfast can be improved. The hostal was very crowd, so at least 2 (two) toasters can be offered. Only one is impossible to use when there are a lot of people at the breakfast. Excellent locations and cleanliness.

This place had more of a hotel feel to it rather than a hostel. There really wasn't much of a common area, and it didn't seem like people congregated anywhere. On the upside, the place was very clean, modern and a great value. The breakfast, like in most of Argentina, left much to be desired (toast and jam).

reception staff generally helpful. I did find that the only way to get two small repiars sorted out in my room was to speak to the cleaner lady as I think that often reception is overloaded. Getting cash in El Calafate seems a big problem with bemused tourists queuing up at ATMs which may or may not respond and with an inadequate withdrawal when they do so. I think reception should pool knowledege to pass on to guests as no one wants to waste a whole lot of time in wild goose chases.

Really enjoyed staying at this hostel. Laura and Irene were so helpful and had lots of Advice about our onward journey. Great breakfast (when you have it on the 1st floor!) Good location, perhaps a transfer back to the bus station would be useful with heavy bags as its up a hill/steps. We stayed there on 2 separate occasions and would def recommend to our friends/fellow travellers.

Everything was good, the only bad things : really old computers and a kitchen isolated.

Great place to stay. I stayed in a private room. It was a big and clean room, good locker, nice bed and linen, good wardrobe, bathroom very nice which had shampoo, soap and also hair dryer. Good breakfast. The hostel is located in the beginning of the main street and it is 10-15 minutes from the bus station.

Great location, lots of space in the dorms, good kitchen, really clean place.

Very good! I love Laura! Sweden

very good information for the tours, good cleanliness

The kitchen is terrible, often dirty.

Everything was excellent! They are very kind and the place is beautifull

Good: Very Helpful staff, very nice accomodation, excellent ubication, good price in excursions, reservations of excursions and transfers, can be made in the reception at no extra charge. impeccable cleanliness, Good beds, good breakfast, public pcs uses GNU/linux. Bad: Too many ip cams in common areas. Lockers security needs some improvement.

An extremely helpful staff, clean beds, with a great rustic atmosphere perfect for a mountain town. Definitely adds to the ambiance of Chalten!

The place is very nice -- nice rooms, bathrooms, dining area for breakfast. The kitchen was not great. There are three stove tops (each with two burners). Two of the burners were not working. This made it difficult for a lot of people to cook. Also, very few utensils. They need more pots, pans, frying pans, wooden spoons, good knives. I know they don't want their things taken by trekkers, but it makes it very hard to cook. Also, then need a bigger refrigerator., or 2 refrigerators.

The place is very nice and exceptionally clean. The tours advertising are really usefull. The breakfest is really simple and the coffee is terrible (as all the coffee in Argentina), although the "complete breakfest" is beyond complete.

Very nice hostel and moreover you have there an excellent travel agency included.

Saggy mattresses and lumpy pillows just about sum this place up. On the plus side the staff on the desk are pleasant and the four bed dorms are ensuite. There are better places in town for the same price but you'll have to book well ahead in the high season.

The amazingly helpful staff make this hostel - they are friendly, knowledgable and more than willing to help with anything. The dorm rooms and kitchen are a good size and the breakfsat simple but plentiful.

Very friendly and helpful staff
