I took my parents on a short trip and they loved staying in this hostel :) They felt safe and comfortable and they wish they were backpackers themselves! :)

The hostel is very warm and the staff was always very friendly.They gave us very good advice about the city and excursions Unfortunately,I had a misunderstanding with the payment, I thought that the price agreed with hostelworld it could pay by credit card, but that price was cash only.if I wanted to pay by credit card the price increased.

The rooms were very nice as well as the hostel itself. In my opinion it was way overpriced! I stayed in a private double room and I think the value of the room was half of what I paid. I also thought the kitchen was way too small and unorganized. There should be bins available for everyone as well as labels where you write your name in and when you leave. House keeping needs to get in there and clean it up more often, especially the kitchen!

We booked a double room in this youth hostel and had a room in the back, far away from the street which was pretty quiet. Most of the staff were pretty indifferent about their job. Upon arrival, we were not picked up from the bus (at midnight) though promised by email. Also organisation of tour bookings was poor. We prefer smaller hostels with a more personal touch and service attitude.

you had to make your own bed, towels are for rent, if you want to make your own dinner in the kitchen you have to hire your knife and vork, pet set. Breakfast was really bad. The one Ive had in 7 weeks in south america. Bread was at least 3 days old. You can kill somebody with that bread!

Large hostel for a small town. But the dorms are fine. Kitchen is on the third floor and there's not really enough room there for the size of the hostel. Renting the forks and knives from the front desk was a bit silly. Small common area and not much mingling. Overall it was a good launching pad for day excursions to the glacier and surrounds.

The hostel has a good location near the town main street (15min walk from the bus station) and is quite charming and calm. Our 4 beds dorm was small but clean with its own shower and toilet. Staff was nice, helpfull and speaks good english. The only downside was a pretty poor breakfast (even on the hostel scale). All considerate I will recommande it!

Clean Hostel, but really old Atmosphere, good only for Family or Old People. Expensive for the Value. Don't pay by Credit Card !! They want to charge you 10% of extra fee!!!

very good Wifi everywhere! good location 10min from center. room setup with open sink area (no door!) in the room not good => you'll wake up whenever someone brushes teeth, washes hands etc, very early (9:30am!) end of breakfast and checkout, only one key per room, and you'll get whatever key you want without questions => risk. Very expensive services, e.g. small laundry 45 Arg. pesos (>10 USD)

Bathrooms lack any sort of privacy: doors are extra thin and without locks.
