A very bad experience. Apart from being close to the bus station, there are almost no advantages. There is a long stretch of gravel road outside the door, and there is a lot of dirt. It is difficult to check luggage. The receptionist is not enthusiastic and the hygiene is not good. There are many young people. I will stay here. It will be very noisy at night. The room facilities are poor. The toilet cannot flush. Even after repairing it, it didn't fix it. I asked them to change the room, but they said they didn't have it. It made me need to take off the toilet seat when flushing, and put my hand into the water tank to pull up the chain to flush. It was disgusting. The breakfast is very simple. There is nothing except bread, jam and something to drink. You have to wash the dishes after eating. The bed is very narrow, soft and uncomfortable. I am not satisfied. I do not recommend it.

バスターミナルから近く、一人旅には最適な立地だと思う。エルカラファテの中心地からは少し離れている。朝食の無料サービスがあり、旅費が浮くのが嬉しかった。

I had an excellent check in reception which i would have rated 5/5 easily. She was the weekend staff and she was very helpful, informative, and pleasant, but the weekdays, morning front desk staff was completely different than all other staffs. He was selective how he relates to the guests. It seems he likes to get acquainted with the females guests more. Both time, i asked for information, it seems he cannot be bother and very short and direct with the information. I asked where i can stroll around town amd he suggested the beach. He causally point I go down the road, and I should get to the beach. Instead, he could've given me direction to the main road where it will lead to the beach, rather i have to asked the locals on the street after I got lost and went into some deadend road. When i checked in, the lady drew on the map the places to eat. Therefore, the rating is dropped 4/5 for poor guest service. I checked out unsatisfied and he knew it...sadly.

Very clean!! nice atmosphere!!!
Walking distance to bus terminal / supermarket
You can make a seat reservation for bus to Moreno Glacier at the hostel(without extra cost)
Possible to walk to El Calafate downtown(10-15mins), but when late night, there is a part of the way which has no lights

Pretty nice hostel, pretty basic but standard breakfast better than other hostels I stayed at in the area. A little expensive for a hostel but again that’s just the price you pay in the southern regions. Nice facility and fast wifi, kitchen was fairly large and lots of space to accommodate guests
