very nice hostel with rooms with ensuite bathroom. the atmosphere in the common room is very nice. but this hostel has the worst kitchen i have ever seen in a hostel. dirty and badly equipped.

The hostel feels like a big warehouse and lacks character. When we checked into the hostel, the guy working at the counter tried charging us more than what we were quoted for on HostelWorld and then we were quoted the correct price later when his manager was around - very shady! The common area is clean and nice (as well as the dorm rooms) but the kitchen was very sparse and dirty - almost unusable. Breakfast was decent and lockers were in the dorms, which we liked. That's about it though!

The wifi/internet did not work because the hotel had recently reopened and the service had not been activated it yet. . However that fact was NOT mentioned on the facilities page of the hostel on HW. We were allowed though to use the wifi at it's sister hotel, a 5 minute walk away.

We paId upfront in cash as requested, only to find on checkout that our payment was not entered at the time and as there was no receipt provided, it seemed like we hadn't paid! Also the toilet kept blocking. It was very hard to find thus hostel as it was a different place to what we booked at, and not very central. However if you are looking for hotel style accommodation at a reasonable price for calafate, this place is ok.

Excellent hostel - it actually looks like a hotel. Only drawback is its location, a little far from the main street.

We were very disappointed when we got to know that the Marco Polo Inn, as described on Hostelworld, has not been opened yet. It seems like it is closed for renovation. All guests are redirected to Marco Polo Suites, about 1km away. We were lucky, as we've arrived there in the middle of the day and we met a guy who told us. Otherwise we wouldn't have known where to go. The Marco Polo Suites cannot be compared to Marco Polo Inn (it's an ex-Best Western Motel rather than the yellow Posada-hostel).

The breakfast was delicious, everthing very clean, the room was big and very nice. We just had one problem wity the payment because they rised the price when the month finished but anyone told us about that. So when I figured out I discuss with the manager, pay the last night with the old price and did the check out to look for another hostel.
