We needed help booking our trip to Perito Moreno on a short notice and two of the women working in the Hostel really helped us enormously. We really appreciated their help and all of the staff were super friendly!

    The staff were really helpful and friendly and helped us to book a tour to the glacier with them for cheaper than we had found online, and a taxi to the bus station. The hostel was well maintained and very clean. They provided free coffee and some basic cooking items such as oil. The kitchen was very well stocked with utensils and crockery - perfect for us as we cooked all of our meals during our stay.

    The tours they offer in the hostel are much cheaper than the ones you see on the internet or in agencies in the city center. I definitelly recommend taking a tour with the hostel, I did and it was really worth it! The beds are comfortable, internet was okay, there is a very well equipped kitchen, clean toilets. Hot showers. Warm sheets.

    Nice quiet hostel only 10mins walk from the main hub of town. Kitchen was pretty well equipped. The people working there were really helpful and we booked a trip to Perito Moreno with them for much cheaper than we'd seen online.

    Well-located hostel, with all the supplies needed for a short or long stay. They also provide a few services (tours to perito moreno + airport shuttles) with a very competitive price. Since the pick up for all these services is at the hostel door, it's super convenient and cheaper than all the other tours we could find.
