we were upgraded to the hotel Destino Sur, so it was really good! ( next door same owner 4star hotel). staff was amazing, breakfast was luxurious, and the spa felt amazing after the trekking. Free mountain bikes to wonder around town were very useful too! About Rancho Grande? we’ve just passed throw 🥴🤪😂

Comfortable rooms, clean, large kitchen and dining area, large bathroom with hot water and great shower heads. Staff was friendly and helpful. Place is right at the mid-point of town, so it's easy to access all the trailheads and grocery stores.

Great location, the hosts were super kind and helpful and made our stay feel really special. Highly recommended. The showers were hot, and it's well connected to the city. Great place to come back to after a long hike. Highly recommended as it’s 10 mins walk from the entrance to the National Park. The restaurant options nearby are great too. Really comfy beds.

Fantastic hostel close to town. The rooms very very comfortable, with private bathrooms inside shared-rooms. Breakfast included in the price was VERY BASIC, it could definitely be improved, but it’s always nice to have something at the start of the day. The staff was very nice, you have beautiful view from the window and the common spaces are very clean, comfortable and overall super pleasant. I definitely recommend.

Rancho Grande is at a great location in El Chaltén - close to the start of all the famous trekking trails. The restaurant area is open 24/7 - food is great (huge and delicious Milanesas! By staying in the hostel, I got 10% discount for all dinners. The atmosphere is very cozy, perfect for an after-hike relaxation. The kitchen area is big, common areas are well-designed.

Lovely people working at místico hostel, so kind and helpful and took care of our needs. Good location on the main thoroughfare and dorms with just 8 beds. Decent sized kitchen and dining area. Felt safe and secure. Perfect base for hiking.

The staff were incredibly helpful and one of the cleanest hostels I’ve stayed in. Rooms had lockers and there were plenty of showers and toilets so I never had to wait. Best location for hikes as well as you’re a 2 minute walk from the base. Charged in the official currency as well which makes it even cheaper than advertised in GBP.

Cosy hostel, good staff, great location for the v popular Laguna de Los Tres hike. One of the dorm rooms has two beds and they let us switch, so effectively a private twin (bunkbed) room for the same price.
