Set against an impressive Patagonian Mountain backdrop, Bla Guesthouse is a quaint guest house in downtown El Calafate. It features white and honey wood exteriors and is conveniently located only 2 blocks from San Martin Avenue, the main commercial street. Fantastic stay!! Great hosts, location and value for money. We had the entire place to ourselves and couldn't have enjoyed our experience any better.

Situated in El Chalten, Constantino Hostel by lo de Guille has a garden, shared lounge, bar, and free WiFi throughout the property. The accommodation features a shared kitchen, a concierge service and organising tours for guests. 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.
