Pretty nice hostel, pretty basic but standard breakfast better than other hostels I stayed at in the area. A little expensive for a hostel but again that’s just the price you pay in the southern regions. Nice facility and fast wifi, kitchen was fairly large and lots of space to accommodate guests

Very clean!! nice atmosphere!!! Walking distance to bus terminal / supermarket You can make a seat reservation for bus to Moreno Glacier at the hostel(without extra cost) Possible to walk to El Calafate downtown(10-15mins), but when late night, there is a part of the way which has no lights

Folks was a great place to stay headed to Patagonia. Great service. The management has thought through how to help people feel comfortable while there. The kitchen is great plenty of room and the common area is large and open. Super close to the bus terminal which is helpful headed to Patagonia. Town center is a bit of a walk but there is a path with stairs that was good on the legs in prep for hiking Patagonia!! I stayed going in and coming out of Patagonia. Both times I got a good nights sleep. The roommates were respectful and friendly.

Amazing hostel and friendly staf

This is the best hostel we stayed in the entire trip! The kitchen was well equipped and the rooms were big and super clean. The most friendliest staff Ludege, he was so quick to help us find a baby sitter and did manage to get us on the minitrek in Perito Moreno in a very short notice. I would highly recommend him to book your tours!

Ein super Hostel! Das Personal ist sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Auch beim buchen von Touren oder Transfers bekommt man Tipps und Hilfe. Das Frühstück war zwar nicht riesig vom Umfang, jedoch hat man alles was man braucht und lecker war es auch! Tipp: Lunchbox an Rezeption bestellen, wenn man längere Touren vor hat.

清潔でアットホームで安い！

建物は真新しく、二段ベッド、トイレ、シャワー室は白色基調でとても清潔感に溢れていて気持ちよく利用できました。また、特に午後のフロント担当の男性が本当にフレンドリーで、丁寧にいろいろと対応してくれました。朝食も美味しく、自分で料理を作れるキッチンエリアもあり、なんといっても止まっている人たちがとてもリラックスしていて初対面のはずなのに、まるで共同生活をしているコミュニティのような雰囲気の中で、過ごすことができました。料金もとても安く、次も機会があればフォークホステルに必ず泊まります

Es un hostal que se encuentra a la altura a nivel mundial. Pensado para la comodidad de los mochileros o aquellos que desean alguna habitación privada. Las instalaciones son excelentes, literas, servicios sanitarios, agua caliente, cocina. Te otorgan un desayuno completo. La atención del staff es excepcional, siempre dispuestos a ayudarte.

L'auberge parfaite !

J'ai adoré cette auberge, le bâtiment est neuf, la déco est très belle, la douche est chaude avec un bon débit, la cuisine est idéale, le salon est très agréable, les lieux sont silencieux, le petit dej est copieux, et le service juste incroyable ! Pour exemple du service, j'avais un bus à 3h du matin, ils m'ont proposé de me préparer un petit déjeuner.. Dans les autres auberges tu dépasses de 10 minutes le créneau horaire du petit-déjeuner, tu peux te gratter pour avoir quelque chose. Bref, c'est l'auberge parfaite !
