    The mattress on my bunk bed. Big dip and uncomfortable. Noisy if doors not shut in dorms by kitchen.

    Great location. Kitchen ok, well enough equipped. Good size. Showers good - the ones that were working. Plenty of hot water. Good drying room. Clean place. Small bunk beds so no head space and my mattress well past its sale by date - big dip in middle. Dorms a reasonable size. Could be noisy in dorms by kitchen if people don’t close the doors.

    Regulation of the heating was a bit peculiar, but staff members were really nice and advised us with it

    We stayed in a private room that was clean and warm. The beds were comfortable, and the room got enough sunlight. The shared kitchen was well organised and spacious. Really appreciate that.

    Beds were pretty basic, and would be nice to have more outlets closer to the beds.

    Great hostel, cheap, and always very clean and warm. It had a huge kitchen, and really big bathrooms. Also it was super close to the bus station.

    The shower didn’t function very well. Only a trickle came one. But it was enough to clean and the water was hot and that was nice.

    The staff were so kind and helpful. good value for my money.

    the kitchen facilities could be improve: no coffee maker, no toaster somehow not very social, everybody was always stuck on their phone with sound on, but that's a people problem, not from the hostel.

    the quiet. big room with a lot of space and chairs, tables, so you can feel at home for a few days. the bed isn't the freshest but still comfortable. the bathtub definitely a plus after a hiking day. location is good for the bus terminal, not too good for the hiking trails, but it's a matter of taste and you can't have both.

    I paid around 80 USD for night for a private room without breakfast and I think it is hugely overpriced. The room does not even have shelves. It has some unneeded furniture like low woodern chairs, low table and a sofa but instead i would prefer a normal table and a chair (like they have in the kitchen) and some shelves. Hot water was unstable. The door locks poorly, one can open it with a kick if needed. I understand El Chalten is super expensive but try to make your rooms more comfortable please and do something with door locks.

    Location is great. Wifi is stable. They provide electric heaters as it is really cold in the room without them even in summer. Kitchen is well equipped.

    The mattress was a bit uncomfortable. And the walls are quite thin, so when a bigger group chat in the kitchen can be a bit noisy in the rooms.

    The staff is very nice and helpful. I decided to do a more day hike, and they changed the reservation for free. I also could leave for free some of my stuff in the hostel during the hike. The kitchen is big and well equipped. They also have a nice garden with a barbecue place.
