The environment, convenience. You can buy bus ticket, exchange blue rate, have your meal on anytime of the day (24/7) at rancho grande. Great location for the laguna los tres hike as it is very near to the trailhead.

The location is great as it's super close to the main bus terminal so if you have a heavy backpack/luggage and you're coming from El Calafate, it is really convenient. The rooms have a lot of power outlets, great for charging electronics and the showers are nice and hot. Hot water is also plentiful and I did not experience any issues with it despite being in a small trekking town. The free breakfast is a nice bonus - it is simple (being bread/toast, croissants and sometimes some sweet pastries with tea and coffee) but it's lovely to have something to eat for free in the mornings especially as the local food places are quite expensive, relatively speaking. The price speaks for itself, great value for money! The beds were comfy. Rooms were well heated and I went during Autumn when it could get as low as 0°C. I have to also shout out the amazing volunteers/staff. They were so friendly and helpful. I lost my cell phone walking near the hostel and one of the volunteers helped me look for it and went to the police station and tourist information centre with me as my Spanish was extremely limited. I luckily did end up finding it and I can't thank them enough.

Staff were all really friendly Incredible hostel in El Chalten! Spacious rooms with big lockers and clean shared bathrooms! The free tea in the communal space was a nice touch along with the well equipped kitchen. The hostel is also close to all the trailheads for the main hikes which helped early in the morning. A special thank you to Daniela who was exceptionally friendly and helped get my wallet back to El Calafate on the same day that I lost it - what exceptional customer service, thank you Daniela 🙏🏽

    Rancho Grande is at a great location in El Chaltén - close to the start of all the famous trekking trails. The restaurant area is open 24/7 - food is great (huge and delicious Milanesas! By staying in the hostel, I got 10% discount for all dinners. The atmosphere is very cozy, perfect for an after-hike relaxation. The kitchen area is big, common areas are well-designed.

    Lovely people working at místico hostel, so kind and helpful and took care of our needs. Good location on the main thoroughfare and dorms with just 8 beds. Decent sized kitchen and dining area. Felt safe and secure. Perfect base for hiking.

    The staff were incredibly helpful and one of the cleanest hostels I’ve stayed in. Rooms had lockers and there were plenty of showers and toilets so I never had to wait. Best location for hikes as well as you’re a 2 minute walk from the base. Charged in the official currency as well which makes it even cheaper than advertised in GBP.

    Cosy hostel, good staff, great location for the v popular Laguna de Los Tres hike. One of the dorm rooms has two beds and they let us switch, so effectively a private twin (bunkbed) room for the same price.
