Staff were very helpful and friendly. Can book the bus to el chalten or Perito Morino through them. Only real negative was having one bathroom for a largeish dorm, and the shower only sort of worked (would expect that to be standard for the area though) Breakfast is decent, self serve with coffee, toast, eggs pancakes.

Excelente servicio y trato, quizá algunos aspectos de su fachada podrian mejorar como una pintura al tejado y la parte del jardin que está en la calle. El jardin interior es precioso.

Ansich ein schönes Hostel. Aber: - die Heizung in unserem Zimmer hat nichts bewirkt, das Zimmer blieb kalt. - das Frühstück ist sehr spärlich. - die Unterkunft verwendet für die Zahlung den MEP Kurs. Laut Buchung hätten wir für eine Nacht 46 USD zahlen sollen, durch den Kurs haben wir aber effektiv 60 USD gezahlt, also 1/3 mehr.
