Good value for money. Room really comfortable. Great location.
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.

What you see is what you get, kind front desk personnel
Centrally located hostel. I booked the private room and was given a queen bed and a single bed. Central heating in the room so you can't really adjust the room temp. My main concern is that the rooms are not sound proofed and you can basically hear every noise from the next room - and I mean every noise!
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.
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.
Private room with private bath was a must for us. Calafate Hostel’s private rooms were clean, safe and affordable. Staff was super friendly and helpful! Will return!
This was our second stay at Calafate Hostel one week after our first visit. Staff is amazing. Super helpful!
Included breakfast is simple with reasonably priced delicious ala carte items available. Kitchen staff super friendly.
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.
