El Gualicho Hostel - HI Reviews

I had an awesome time at the El Gualicho. The best in my stay in Argentina. Very clean, big kitchen, a nice lounge room, very kindly staff. In summary, I wish all hostels were like the El Gaulicho :)

Really comfortable rooms, i had ensuite dorm with modern facilities. kitchen excellent. i wasnt on time for right whales but orcas were there bt we missed by 15 min. managed tours tend to stick to schedule rather than likley hood of seeing whales ie so if the tide is only just in they will go anyway:-( we missed seeing my 15min. at right whale session this would be a great base. relaxed.

Rooms were good: Clean, bed was firm and shower was good pressure and hot. There was a slight smell coming from the bathroom though, probably the drains. The staff were helpful with everything we asked. The bikes for hire were poor - almost all of them were poorly maintained, and there is no way you should charge $70 to hire them.

Great hostel thats kept immaculate with big communal areas and a spacious kitchen if you wish to cook. Breakfast also good for Argentina. Only downside is the relationship they have with Chalten Travel Turismo- tour guide was grumpy, impatient and lacked information to make our trip to Punta Tombo more informative. Change tour company because hostel and people working there are great!!!

1. bit expensive. 2. please look for the full-of-dust blankets.

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.

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