6/10 Good

Excellent Hostel with lovely friendly staff. Nice vibe. But we were charged WAY too much for our four nights. Not sure if it was Expedia or the hostel but there is no way a hostel should be charging this much a night.
William, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Genuinely loved this place! Found it accidentally and was surprised how nice it was! Also the people/staffs and the atmosphere was incredible! Wish we'd stayed longer but would definitely choose the same place if we ever came back to El Calafate again!

I really enjoyed the hostel! The front desk staff was incredible and many times told me to make myself at home. The common space is a fun place to relax or meet others, with an incredible view!

Rooms Ok But service and food were fantastic!!

The staff really went out of their way to help us book a tour To Torres Del Paine. The follow up was amazing and their help was above and beyond. Much appreciated!
Robert, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Convenient

Convenient if you are keeping yourself occupied with tours every day. Breakfast is ok, not paved roads on streets to main roads. Staff is knowledgeable and able to assist you in whatever you need.
Carlo, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Had a good stay here. Breakfast was not sufficient. Just Corn Pops and toast. We had to leave for breakfast in town. Walls were quite thin so we could hear people in the hallways. Overall though, the rooms were comfortable, the view was great and the staff really helpful and warm. Would stay here again despite the issues above.
Shakira, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

The common area and breakfast were fine. The shower did not work almost at all and there was limited water from the sink. It was pretty noisy both inside (people) and outside (dogs). Staff was very friendly and helpful. Did not have a good experience at dinner there - food was not great and it took forever.
Allison, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Nice ambience and nice people, but way to expensive for what you get, the rooms are not clean, dirty towels, stone hard beds. Price/quality not in balance.
Gijs, 3-night trip

4/10 Fair

Good views. Except that everything was poor. Comparing the money i pay.
James, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Mixed bag

The place was a bit like a poor youth hostel and the bathrooms reeked and there was sewage like smell in the room. The bunk bed was so so .. the only blessing is that the room windows actually opened and we could get fresh air into the room. The breakfast was nice .. the lounge area had lots of young tourists.
Good breakfast

I had an excellent stay at Americana Del Sur! The rooms have only 4 beds and an ensuite bathroom, shower and lockers. The public area is great! Very comfortable coaches and tables, a outside deck and lawn furniture - and you can't beat the view from the all glass wall! The staff was AMAZING!!! All of them were so nice and remembered my name and even the smallest details of what was going on with me. Really personalized service. Very highly recommended!!
Mindy, 4-night trip

6/10 Good

Reception and common area is nice. I would’ve preferred a single room. Did not like coed rooms as male room mates walked around naked.
Pa Foua, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Best in class

I had a great experience at this Hostel and I would recommend it to friends traveling in this area. They keep the place clean, and better than advertised when it comes to the energy of the place. Breakfast is great and the quality of the rooms is better than I’ve found elsewhere. The reason this place is so great is definitely because of the people who work there. Big thanks to Augustin, Micaela, and Bautista especially who were really kind and patient with me. They helped me organize tours and the bus system. My trip would have been les good without them. Huge thank you!
