The hostel is located in the main street, the showers and toilets are clean and big. The rooms (bed) are confortable but a little tight. The owner (Omar) and the staff are very kind, ready to help all the time. I was there during New Year’s Eve and we (the guests) were able to do a party there (they can be very flexible). It was a great time!

It is very clean, and somehow, from the first second, I felt me very welcome. It is a perfect place to sleep, cook, and enjoy the view from the community room. The laundry is just a few meters away, the first bars and shops just about 100 meters from the hostel. I warmly recommend this friendly hostel those travellers who appreciate the silence in the rooms, and the kindlliest welcome 🤗

Gaby's a legend! Super accomodating, I was climbing various random nights as weather permitted, messaged me to ask if I needed a room for the next night and made it so I could stay in the same room. Best hostel in El Chalten!!!

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

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.
