Good location, very basic and dated.
Hostel Inn Calafate had great service and is in a very convinient location but the rooms could use an update. The bed was old and creeky, the ground floor window in our room didn’t lock nor did the cabinet in the room and the shower, while hot and strong, was difficult to work and had mould growing in the corner. Breakfast was minimal. Cereal, yogurt, fruit cocktail and toast. The shared kitchen was nice to have and good enough to make a basic meal in but pretty lacking in cooking utensils and no shared basics (I.e. oil). It’s a relatively small place and was quite quiet while we were there. There is a cat in the space that sleeps on the couches.

オーバーブッキングの上、前日の深夜（午前2時ごろなので既に当日）にエクスペディアを通さずメールで一方的なキャンセル連絡をされました。 そもそもエクスペディアからの予約は全てキャンセルするそうです。 既に決済していましたが、「返金してもらいたければ自分でエクスペディアに連絡しろ」といった旨のことを言われ、途方にくれました。 宿泊客の話によると前日、当日と警察を呼ぶ人もいたようなので、よほどのことがない限り、宿泊しないことをおすすめします。

We stayed in an ensuite double room which was a good standard for a hostel, clean room, good view. The hostel is only a 10 minute walk from the town albeit a bit uphill. The breakfast was a bit poor. However, the kitchen was appalling....I expect a certain standard from Hostelling International and this did not just fail to meet these but calling it a kitchen is a stretch. One pan, a few pieces of cutlery and about 5 glasses, I am not one to complain but I would advise against staying here on the basis it has a kitchen which is a shame because everything else about the hostel was good.

Really good rooms but missed opportunities in the
Positives: we stayed in an en-suite double here which was one of the best rooms of our three month Argentina trip. The staff here are really friendly and helpful and can sort out tours and bus tickets. Good breakfast spread. Negatives: 10-15 minute walk into town centre; cramped, poorly equipped kitchen; the place has a big, light and airy bar area with a pool table and TV but the bar never opened and advertised food and happy hour were not available so the common areas felt pretty dead - especially as you're not allowed to drink your own booze. Being a bit out of town, it's a long walk for a coffee.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
We had a triple room ,private room, not dormitory type. This is the most expensive room in the hostel. However, I would not recommend this hostel if you are looking for a comfortable hostel. You are better off choosing other hostel that costs $10 more than this one. Our room was not cleaned on some days.. After we returned to the hostel exhausted, explaining this to reception increased our fatigue. Also... noise echoes through the room at all hours of the day and night. Nonetheless we were in a private room... When the other rooms use the showers, there is a high-pitched noise that keeps going on for 15-30minutes.. It sounds like a huge shredder going off at 2 am for 30 minutes. The sound always woke us up. It interrupted our rapid. In addition, I asked several questions by email in advance, but to my surprise, there was no reply from the hotel... For example, I asked about the availability of a hair dryer. I was concerned, but decided to trust the hotel and stay for 6 nights in a row. But when I actually arrived, there was no hair dryer. It was cold in Calafate and I was without a hair dryer every day. I immediately caught a cold. I cut my hair due to this issue... What the hotel does not have... Hair dryer (not even in the dormitory space) Hangers Garbage cans (no garbage bags as well) God bless you and your family...

dudosas gestiones
la pasada semana tenia una reserva paga para hospedarme 3 dias alli, y me encuentro con la sorpresa de que el hostel no trabaja con expedia lo cual no podia alojarme y con motivo del festival del lago no habia lugar en ningun sitio. expedia me ofrece alojarme en la ciudad mas cercana que es el chalten (a 160 km aprox) o alojarme en un apart hotel que me salia muchisimo mas caro. en conclusion gracias a esta DUDOSA GESTION gaste mi dinero , me perdi el festival del dia viernes, me enferme por el estres y ahora debo esperar que llegue el reembolso. la verdad no recomendaria este hostel y no puedo calificar mi estadia solo advertir sobre estas deprolijidades. claudio burgos
