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

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.

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!

8/10 Very good

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.

8/10 Very good

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.
Esther, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

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.

Convenient location
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.

4/10 Fair

A place like this shouldn't be on hotels.com
we stayed in two different room, standard and delux, both in terrible shape: the bathroom with water leakage has the floor always wet, the sheets with stains of various nature, the lights only partially working. the breakfast isn't edible, I served better meals at the homeless shelter. this is a B tier hostel, avoid it.
