Pioneros del Valle Hostel Reviews

Great staff, great people, very nice hostel ! Too bad it doesn't provide breakfast.

A nice hostel, friendly staff, great location for going trekking. It's great that the bus company go to and from here, This was a big bonus that I didn't know about when I booked the hostel. I think this is definitely something the hostel should promote more because it is a great service. The internet connection didn't work here though-but that's similiar for all over El Chalten.

Average hostel which was ok for a 4 night stay while hiking the trails. I liked the shower in the room and the kitchen/dining area was good with a nice big TV and free internet (slow). There was a friendly atmosphere when I was staying and I met some great people. It was also very clean. The 6 bed dorm room was quite cramped though and it was lacking in overall facilities compared to other hostels. Annoying that no toilet paper is provided (never seen this before in a hostel!)

Good hostel, ensuite bathrooms in all dorms. Clean and in a good location. Kitchen was ok but not enough equipment. Did like having to buy your own toilet paper.

Breakfast not included is a let down. More crockery and cutlery as well as another stove could be added as there's only one stove for a bIg hostel

Unfortunately they didn't give us enough toilet paper.

the kitchen is small try to avoid dorm room number 1 and 2, noisy and smelly because of the kitchen in our dorm all the key to the locker workt in all lockers.

nice place, nice staff and rooms, but unfortunately very noisy, and drunk guests at night... the hostel was having work made during our stay, but were not separated from the rest of the hostel, for which we had a lot of dust coming during our breakfast. Brekfast and toilet paper (!) not included, whereas they are in all the other hostels where we stayed in Argentina.

This place works fine as a cheap place to sleep and it doesn't appear that they strive to make it anything more. The one common area in the hostel has the charm of a hospital waiting room; they have a television blaring and everyone just stares like a zombie at the TV instead of talking to each other. The staff is indifferent and does nothing to create the fun, social atmosphere that many of us expect in a hostel.

The staff was average at best. Mostly unhelpful but then sometimes they surprised me. The rooms were pretty comfy, though the drains in the showers didn\'t work in at least 3 rooms that I experienced. The water pressure was FANTASTIC when there was any water at all. It has a good location near the trailheads - which made a difference on the way back from the Tres Lagos hike! BRING YOUR OWN TP and SOAP!!! The internet did not work at all during our stay

If you do not need much help from the staff, and do not care much about a free breakfast, especially do not mind a few big black flies stationed in the kitchen/dining area daily uninterrupted, it can be your choice for this new hostel for its in-suite separate bathroom and shower, a good size of personal locker in the room and close to the trail head. I am not sure if it matters that my tasty lamb ordered from a nearby restaurant saved in the refrigerator with my name clearly marked was gone the next day wh

Too expensive. It was 80 pesos per night, and it did not include breakfast, which is unusual for the hostels I have stayed at in Argentina (most on the same price scale). Also, it was a little uncomfortable that they pack in 6beds into such a small room with very little clearance between the bunks.
