Great hostel - our room was spacious and the beds were really comfortable! Good bathroom and kitchen facilities for a small number of guests and the garden was a great space to relax in. The owner gave us tips and recommendations for our onward travels.

Juan has created a really special place at Nañdu! He is a wonderful host. It's the best organized and cleanest hostel we stayed at in Patagonia, with beautiful communal areas. There are enough of them that you feel able to peacefully hang out or socialize without disturbing other guests. Juan is really knowledgeable e.g. about hikes in Patagonia National Park (and other parks) and he helped us organise our trek. We decided to stay again because we loved it so much! The apricot trees and asado=❤️

El hostal era precioso y las habitaciones eran grandes. Las camas eran muy cómodas y amplias, incluso las individuales. Tenía todos los espacios necesarios y uno se sentía realmente a gusto. Estaba muy limpio y muy bien cuidado, y lo recomiendo muchísimo a todos.
