Excelente atención del personal, te dan tips y recomendaciones de lugares dentro del pueblo, los trekkings y lo que llegues a preguntar de la zona. La habitación es suficientemente amplia, está muy limpia y tiene todo lo que necesitas.

I was very happy with this cool little hotel! It's a very short walk from the bus station. My room was clean and comfortable. The shower was great with good water pressure and plenty of hot water. It was very nice to have use of the small kitchen for preparation and storage of food - and it's also a lovely space to sit in and enjoy morning coffee with views of the surrounding mountains. The kitchen could be a bit better equipped in terms of dishes and utensils for cooking.

The staff was fantastic and so friendly, even though our Spanish is very challenged. The rooms were small and needs some maintenance but you don’t travel to Chalten to stay in your room !! Great location

O quarto é muito bom, grande e espaçoso, com a vista para o Fitz Roy. O chuveiro maravilhoso. As instalações gerais, como cozinha e área do café da manhã não são tão novas ou luxuosas, mas nada que diminua a experiência. A Vick, que nos atendeu, sempre muito prestativa e disponível em ajudar. Gostamos muito da experiência.

・英語は通じなかったが、翻訳アプリを利用して親切に対応してもらえた。・シャワールームは狭いが、壁で仕切られていて、トイレがびしょびしょにならない作りだった。・リネン類が清潔だった。・暖房機器の上に、服をかけるフックがあり、登山で濡れた服がすぐに乾いた。

Good lodge for a short stay while n El Chalten. The owner is a super nice lady and very helpful. Rooms are very basic and only a single PWR socket for all your device charging needs. A bit of inconvenience but still manageable as long as you are flexible.

It's located near the bus station, but about 1 mile from the Fitz Roy park entrance. Ok for a male, solo, traveller; I would not recommend if traveling with family or significant other.

The lady at the reception was very friendly. I read many reviews from other travelers saying they found bed bugs but our room was very clean. On the downside, the hot water run out while trying to brush our teeth, and also the breakfast was not good at all. Also, in the night there was a party next door and we could hear everything. Last but not least, the heating could not be turned down and the room was extremely hot. Honestly I would pay more and stay somewhere a bit more decent to get some good sleep.

The facility is old and small but the price is acceptable in comparison with many others in the area. You get what you pay for. No complains.

The staff, Ara, was helpful. Bathroom was not cleaned every day. Someone stole all my food from the fridge

I did not like how you couldn’t open the window. There’s only one small window in the bathroom that could be opened. The walls were pretty thin so you could hear your neighbors real well.

I found some other persons used soap on the window ledge in the shower and hair around the shower walls. The room, was supposed to be twin beds. When I asked the host to have the beds made up, she tried to pretend like it was her last room and she couldn’t do anything about it. There wasn’t a mistake with the room, but the twins needed to be unzipped and a second that sheet added. She was unhelpful and unfriendly. I received a message from the hotel at 2300 saying they could make it a twin, but no one came by the room or gave us other lines. We had to use our own sleeping bags. We asked for more sheets but were denied. Overall, this was a subpar stay with dirt in the rooms and unwelcoming and unfriendly hosts. Breakfast was below average. I would stay other places before staying here.

O valor pago não corresponde ao que foi oferecido, principalmente em relação à qualidade do café da manhã.

TLDR: bed bugs and zero refund or effort to remedy the situation, do NOT stay here! booked for 3 nights as a solo woman traveling in Argentina for my first time. I have had very bad luck in the past with pests so I inspected the mattress when I first got there and didn’t see any signs of bugs. After lying in the bed resting for a few hours I got up & noticed the tiniest red speck on my pillow & then I saw it move. I crushed it & there was blood all over the napkin & then I flipped it over & found another & the same thing happened. I realized they were bed bug nymphs after doing some research & I began to search for more signs. Eventually I found several adult ones, their exoskeletons, excrement, and several eggs in the night stand directly by the bed. At this point it was almost midnight & their reception closed at 9pm. I messaged them & heard no response. I frantically packed up all my things & left. At one point I was standing on the side of a gravel road alone with all my luggage after midnight as I had nowhere to go since I couldn’t reach reception & it was so late when I discovered them and peak busy season with limited availability elsewhere. I spoke with the lady the next day and she refused a refund, lied to my face about being there earlier that day and said to contact Expedia but I told her they couldn’t reach her either. She then said to contact the owner but refused to give me their contact info to do so. I told her I’d write this & she shrugged & said “okay.”
