Hospederia Thiamalu

More a b&b than a hostel with comfortable rooms, close to the bus station and the starting point for lots of walks. However, there are no self-catering facilities despite what is advertised on Hostelworld; this was described as a misinterpretation to us when we asked to use the kitchen. The host is very nice and provides a good breakfast, however, often appeared stressed. The payment process was complex as PayPal had to be used and we were taxed an extra 18% that was unexpected.

Alejandra made our trip, she was great. Breakfast was pleasant and the room and location were good. There is no access to the kitchen facilities for guests despite it saying that on the description, however Alejandra will cook something for you if you provide ingredients. Spacious rooms,good breakfast, feels like you’re staying with your mum!

Great location, very comfortable bed, great shower. The host was lovely and helpful, even gave us and early breakfast and took us to the bus station. El Chalten is expensive throughout the resort. Initially we thought the room was on the small side but it was so comfortable it was actually perfect especially the location. Views of Fitz Roy. Totally recommend this hostel.
