My husband and I spent 3 nights here in one of the private rooms with shared bathroom. It was clean and comfortable! The breakfast selection was more diverse than other South American hostels we have stayed in thus far: oatmeal cookies, cake, fresh fruits and the usual toast, cereal, and yogurt. They also accommodated an early breakfast one morning as we had a day trip to Chaltén planned. Staff were helpful and allowed us to check in and pay later once we exchanged money (they only accept cash!) We also rented bikes and helmets directly from our hostel one day which was easy and quite affordable. Staff also went out of their way to make our stay as nice as possible, texting us on WhatsApp to warn us to close our window since a group was having asado in the courtyard outside of our room.

Folks was a great place to stay headed to Patagonia. Great service. The management has thought through how to help people feel comfortable while there.
The kitchen is great plenty of room and the common area is large and open.
Super close to the bus terminal which is helpful headed to Patagonia.
Town center is a bit of a walk but there is a path with stairs that was good on the legs in prep for hiking Patagonia!!
I stayed going in and coming out of Patagonia. Both times I got a good nights sleep. The roommates were respectful and friendly.

The staff is very rude, makes hurtful and out of place comments about the guests. There is a travel agency inside the hostel called World Riders with staff who make comments about their clients: they are amazing, they are all old daddies, and they laugh incredibly

Aqui foi onde tive minha primeira experiência em um hostel, hospedei-me com um grupo grande de pessoas. A organização, segurança e limpeza foram excelentes! O café da manhã é bastante simples, não sendo o ponto forte do local. O banheiro é bem amplo e sempre estava com aspecto de limpo. O único ponto negativo foi a distância do hostel em relação ao centro.

Gran Hostel en Calafate con un Personal de lujo. Las instalaciones son muy cómodas, limpio y ubicación muy buena. Lo único que falla es la conectividad a Wifi. Pero Muy recomendable. Baños y cocina súper amplios. Habitaciones en muy buen estado.
