Calafate Hostel

Dear fellow travelers, if you're seeking the epitome of the 'rustic' hostel experience, look no further than Calafate Hostel. Here's a little sneak peek into the charm of this no-frills establishment: 1. **Connectivity with Nature (and Not the Internet):** The Wi-Fi here is like a mythical creature - often talked about but never seen. With three access points, you might think you've hit the jackpot, but they're more for decorative purposes. A digital detox, whether you like it or not! 2. **Breakfast - A Minimalist's Dream:** The free breakfast is a masterclass in simplicity - bread and coffee, served with a side of, well, more bread. It's like being in a French bakery, if the bakery forgot to bake anything other than baguettes. 3. **Bathroom Adventures:** Ever fancied a bit of thrill while taking a shower or using the loo? Well, you're in luck! The shower, bathroom, and toilet doors here are sans locks, offering a fun, hold-the-door challenge. Think of it as a mini workout or a test of your door-holding skills. 4. **Bedside Charging - A Distant Dream:** The charging points are thoughtfully placed just close enough to tease but far enough to require a minor expedition from your bed. It's like the hostel's way of saying, "Stay charged, but not too charged!" 5. **The Silver Lining - Staff:** Amidst these quirks, the staff stands out like an oasis in a desert. They try to be helpful, and in a place like this, 'trying' is a big deal. In summary, Calafate Hostel is the perfect spot for those who appreciate a good joke, have a knack for indoor orienteering, and enjoy the simpler (and bread-ier) things in life. Happy travels! 🎒✨

Every time I I have visited El Calafate 3 times and stayed 3 times in this place, a great location near the shopping street and near the lake (walking distance) a great breakfast served, a money exchange with good rates, a big room to hang out, small but good dorms, good hot showers, well worth its money.

We get what they advertized but a strong odor of feet was persistent in the room. We went elsewhere.

Good location. Comfortable room and bed. Breakfast was minimal: just bread items-needed to pay extra for anything more substantial.

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.
