Liked: Staff is very friendly and helpful; rooms are not big but comfortable (we had a private double room with bathroom ensuite). WiFi is available even in the rooms that are not near the lobby. Breakfast is good for Argentine standards.

Disliked: The kitchen is a bit far from the lobby and the community room, which is a bit small.

Liked: Rooms are ok.

Disliked: Kitchen is a disaster Utensils are all broken and pots are burned or broken. One fridge for a hostel this size is ridiculous. We had no room to store out food and had to store it in the room. Had to pay a 20 peso deposit to get knives and forks. No oven for cooking. Breakfast was very bad. Stale bread and powdered milk is poor even for Argentinas low standards. WiFi was not working and staff didn't seem to care. Mattresses are in need of replacement. My advice...go somewhere else.

Liked: Very well organized. English-spoken, helpful staff. Good wi-fi. Good alternative tour to the glaciar. We had to catch a bus in the middle of night and they let us hang out at the hostel all day and night (and we could use the facilities) without charging us.

Disliked: Breakfast wasn't very interesting, but...

Liked: really helpful staff that answer all your questions and organize tours etc.

Disliked: the bathroom is integrated in the room in a way that in a shared dorm you have no privacy at all and have to brush your teeth etc in front of all the others
