    We were given a room that was taken from us the second night. I had requested a TWIN. However, we were given a double. Poor breakfast and noisy other guests :-(

    Breakfast is very limited (a set plate with 2 scrambled eggs, bread and jam - no ham/cheese/fruits/oats like some other hotels in the area). We had a room on the ground floor and it was sometimes quite loud due to people being in the reception. We also had a window on the street, difficult to get privacy and it could not be opened either which is a bit of a shame. Bedroom looked a bit old and the bathroom door didn’t close

    Good location, good bedroom size, friendly staff. Could drop off our bags before our 3 day trek which was very nice of them

    - It wasn't very clean, there was some hair in the shower and generally dirt in corners and on the walls etc. - Value for money wasn't great, the room itself was passable but had definitely seen better days and needed redecorating. Compared to prices elsewhere in Argentina and more widely I would expect more for the price.

    + Staff were very friendly and helpful + The location is great and very convenient + Easy parking and access

    Breakfast is served from seven but Mauricio told us several times during check in that we should go to the park before six in order to avoid paying the expensive entrance fee and that there is no other way into the park which is false. So we missed the first breakfast but then we found a nice path into the park that avoids official entrance.

    There is a way into the park that avoids official entrance just uphill from the property. It’s a shame they don’t tell you about it.

    Deposit for staining the sheets is the first time I've encountered the like in 9 months of travel. Hard to understand the logic behind it. No kitchen on the premises for guest use which is unusual compared to similar properties in the area where people are may prepare food for hikes. For the price wifi was very poor and I would have expected a tv for the price in comparison to other accommodation I've stayed in Chile and Argentina.

    Location to the hiking trails

    Ok for one night and considering high prices in El Chalten
    • Leisure trip

    The hostel charges you 50$ in CASH upon arrival for deposit (they accepted chilean peso from us). During check-out the room is checked almost as we are in kindergarten. Rooms were cleanish (there were some stains on the bedsheets). All the strict rules which we received before and upon arrival feel very unwelcoming (check-out at 10:00 with NO exceptions, keeping deposit for MAKEUP stains on towels etc.). The heating machine was really loud

    The location was good and considering prices in El Chalten the price was acceptable. Breakfast was ok (scrambled eggs, bread, jam and coffee)

    1 pillow per bed, linen was stained at times and towels were so thin. The place needs an update and a good clean, grout was mouldy. The WiFI was usually down which happened around town too but somehow they were able to process Card payments.

    The staff was very nice and helpful. The location was excellent.

    Would have been good to have a window which opens or an extractor fan in the room and bathroom. Walls are thin and the noise travels, even being in the end room we could hear people at breakfast etc.

    Very welcoming and helpful staff. Spacious room. Decent breakfast.

    Over priced. The hostels were just as good in many ways. Staff were polite but have many silly rules to suit themselves. The staff are just trying to get you in and out with minimum effort for themselves. Not very welcoming or helpful. I appreciate El Chalten is expensive, and guests are there to hike and therefore may be wet (due to rain) or have mud on shoes etc. but unlike some hotels / hostels, the hotel makes no effort to accommodate this obvious need and combats with extra rules.

    Very basic, but private rooms.

    The main entry/reception could do with a small make over and get rid of the well worn couches.

    This place is more like a hostel than a lodge. More suited for back packers which this area is renowned for. Things are very basic.

    Cozy Stay in El Chaltén

    However, the service could benefit from a more relaxed approach. While staff members were professional, a more laid-back atmosphere would enhance the overall guest experience. One aspect that stood out was the policy on deposits and guarantees for rooms, which seemed somewhat disproportionate. A more flexible approach in this regard would better align with the overall vibe of the town.

    My recent stay in El Chaltén was pleasant overall. The rooms were clean and spacious, providing a comfortable retreat after a day of exploration. The breakfast offered a nice selection, contributing to a positive start each morning.

    The only drawback is the internet can be a little slow. However given the area this is to be expected!

    The staff were excellent and very welcoming. The location is perfect, very close to the start of the Fitz Roy hike. All other amenities are in walking distance, and the price is good value for the area.
