Exceptional owner. Very kind, attentive and lots of useful tips. I've never stayed in a dorm that was so good value. It was even better than my previous stays in a private room. Thumbs up to Roberto and his wife Julia for a great stay. Don't even look further, just book here 😎

    It is a basic hostel so you get what you pay for. Rooms are ok, don't expect too much but you won't be there much anyway. The bathroom is a bit small but it works, make sure to close the shower curtains properly. As the location is just one block away from the main road everything you need is close by. The staff is friendly and ready to assist you with questions. They provide a transfer service to and from the airport, it's slightly more expensive than the bus. If we would have known we'd probably use it.

    Loved every bit of our stay here! We got a private double room which was very tiny but not too bad. The room was very clean. This is such a great hostel and we loved the policies that are actually formed around travelers and hikers with breakfasts available as early as 1AM and a 24 hour restaurant featuring great variety of food.

    I’m not sure how this hostel isn’t better rated. The rooms are clean and comfortable, the staff were great, the facilities are great and the atmosphere is perfect! The kitchen is very large and well stocked which allows you to save a bit by cooking. The hostel is also the cheapest option available that we could find in chalten. There is also a very secure procedure for leaving your bags in reception after you’ve checked out if you aren’t ready to leave yet.

    Located at a great spot where many of the hikes begin. There are groceries and equipment rental stores nearby. By the number of people they are hosting, the facilities were relatively clean. The bunk beds have storage below them that are lockable.
