Centrally located hostel. I booked the private room and was given a queen bed and a single bed. Central heating in the room so you can't really adjust the room temp. My main concern is that the rooms are not sound proofed and you can basically hear every noise from the next room - and I mean every noise!

Value for money- it’s great for budget travelers looking for inexpensive places to stay in. Don’t expect the bells and whistles. I’ve had to rent a towel for 1000 pesos, which is fine.

A good place to stay with everything needed to sleep and recharge after a long day out. The breakfast starts at 6:30am. Don’t expect anything fancy, bread & pastries with coffee to keep you going for the morning.

Good location. Comfortable room and bed. Breakfast was minimal: just bread items-needed to pay extra for anything more substantial.

Convenient location to walk to main streets or lake. Most staff helpful though incorrect information caused a problem with my airport transport. Breakfast was very ordinary.

If you want somewhere clean, don’t go here. A friend and I stayed in two different rooms on two different stays during our time at Calafate Hostel. I was motivated to book due to the value for such a highly-rated set of rooms. I’m writing this review so that you don’t make the same mistake. I don’t think either room knows what clean actually means. Neither floors had been brushed or surfaces wiped even for crumbs. We had a fridge in our rooms, both stank, had clearly been neglected by the cleaners between stays and one even had half-eaten food remaining from the previous occupiers. In one of our bathrooms, the ceiling had blue mould. In the second, the bathmat had started to turn yellow, presumably because it isn’t cleaned between stays. This was backed up by the loud squelch when you stand on it. The furnishings are fraying, broken or stained to the point you wouldn’t want to utilise them. To be fair I liked the heated floor tiles, but I wouldn’t dare place my bare feet on them. After seeing the cleanliness (or lack thereof) in the room, I decided against breakfast. From word of mouth, it was apparently difficult to find a clean glass for your morning orange juice. I feel glad I went to a cafe instead. When we were excited to leave, we found out that ‘there were no transfers’ that day. If I had to choose one thing I liked, it was that the TV worked. That’s it. Every time I passed another hotel or hostel in El Calafate, I looked in envy. Don’t go here, go an
