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.

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.

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.

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