Situated in El Calafate and with Argentinean Lake reachable within 3.9 km, Folk Hostel features concierge services, non-smoking rooms, a garden, free WiFi throughout the property and a shared lounge. The property is set 500 metres from El Calafate Bus Station, 400 metres from Regional Museum and 2.5 km from Nimez Lagoon. The accommodation offers a shared kitchen, a 24-hour front desk and currency exchange for guests. I was kind of suspicious to stay in a hostel, ok in a room with bathroom, but I was absolutely surprise to found how amazing is this place. It has very strict policy about noise and everything that guests kept. It is super clean and perfect maintained. Location is perfect, in a striking distance of the downtown and less to the bus station. But the greatest advantage Folk hostel has is Faustina. She provided me in advance so much useful information for the place, the tours we can have. She booked two daily tours for us and we were so happy with the tours guides and tours themselves. Thank you so much Faustina for making our stay in El Calafate so memorable!!!

With scenic views of Calafate´s mountains and lake, this hostel is a 7-minute walk from downtown Calafate. It features accommodation with floor heating, free Wi-Fi, communal kitchen and laundrette.

At America del Sur Hostel, all rooms and dormitories have beautiful views of the valley and mountains beyond. They offer private bathrooms, lockers and heating. This hostel is simply great - The beds are comfy and everyone has his own electricity socket - The shared bathrooms are perfectly distributed: the shower, toilet and the sink are separated so you can have 3 people from your room doing their things at the same time. And there are toiletries. - breakfast is great (they have eggs!) - the staff is helpful and attentive, I dealt with the morning shift mainly and Alan is a star! - the common areas give both a chance to socialise or chill

Set against an impressive Patagonian Mountain backdrop, Bla Guesthouse is a quaint guest house in downtown El Calafate. It features white and honey wood exteriors and is conveniently located only 2 blocks from San Martin Avenue, the main commercial street. The location was the best! it was close to everything in the downtown but not too close to be near to any source of noise. They really know about the offer of different tours around. The personal was very kind!

Set in El Calafate, 4.9 km from Argentinean Lake, Matices Hostel Centro offers accommodation with a garden, free private parking, a shared lounge and barbecue facilities. The property is located 700 metres from Regional Museum, 1.5 km from El Calafate Bus Station and 2 km from Nimez Lagoon. The accommodation provides a 24-hour front desk, airport transfers, a shared kitchen and free WiFi throughout the property. I thought this was a good place to stay. In a city that has a lot of tourists, this place was very reasonably priced and they treated us like visitors, not tourists. They were honest about what they thought we should and shouldn't spend money on, and they were patient when our Spanish wasn't the best. The place has pretty big rooms and a nice kitchen.
