For the most part a great hostel. he only problems were: The Wi-fi had problems (the router was bad), and they wouldn't fix it. It would kind of work, which was very frustrating. I wouldn't recommend renting a bike there, the bikes were pretty bad.

Thanks for your comment! Router isn`t the WiFi problem, is the service. We`ll decide to change it, in a couple of days it`ll be working the new one. We give maintenance to the bykes constantly, It could happen one byke had a problem, but when is like this we change it or also it can be use another day

Great kitchen, very clean and a wonderful ambiance! A very laid back vibe, excellent shared spaces to unwind in after a day of traveling.

It was very clean, for breakfast they even had cereals (!) and there was a lot of space to chill out, watch tv or using the computer. Personally I don't like very big hostels, but it seemed that people had fun. You can also use the huge grill and do a bbq. The only thing I didn't like at all. Ok, capital of the whales, but 70 ARG$ for a dorm bed is too much and all in all it's not worth the price.

The hostel itself was really great, except that the neighbouring disco did steel some sleep during the night playing loud and boomy music.

Good hostel very close to the bus station - easy to walk to. Extreemly clean, great new bathrooms and big comfy rooms. Nice comfortable lounge room for reading a book or going on the internet on a rest day. Staff are good with information - the hostel just lacks a little atmospehere..probably down to the lack of bar! Good place to stay for a couple of days to see the Whales though. ;-)

Es un Albergue/Hostel para gente joven, nosotros somos ya algo viejunos ;-), y valoramos en demasía el silencio nocturno.

No complains or suggestions at all! I booked a tour in advance and received important information by e-mail. The staff was very kind and helpful and even 'motherly'sweet when I got ill. I have never seen a dorm (6p) so clean!
