It is a good choice for traveller on a budget. I liked that they offered discounted tours for guests and made bookings really easy. The accommodations themselves weren’t the best, but for the price they’re truly value for money.

Calafate Hostal overbooked and sent us to Oliva Hosteria which turned out to be poor with poor communication and service with a tiny room. We stayed at the Calafate Hostel earlier and it was fine but canceling us two days before arrival was a big negative.

A good place to stay with everything needed to sleep and recharge after a long day out. The breakfast starts at 6:30am. Don’t expect anything fancy, bread & pastries with coffee to keep you going for the morning.

Convenient location to walk to main streets or lake. Most staff helpful though incorrect information caused a problem with my airport transport. Breakfast was very ordinary.

Value for money- it’s great for budget travelers looking for inexpensive places to stay in. Don’t expect the bells and whistles. I’ve had to rent a towel for 1000 pesos, which is fine.

Stay away from this place

in two different rooms the bathrooms were leaking water all over, it's dirty, the breakfast is a joke (burned bread and one portion jam), the staff isn't friendly.
