Great location, 2 blocks from the beach, about 10 from the bus station. The staff were really friendly and accommodating. The bathroom and rooms were really clean. The double room was nice and was quiet. The dorm was a bit noisy as there is an interior patio and we could hear tv from other room. We stayed a week as... More

On short notice this was the cheapest option we could find for three adults in one private room. Location is more than fine, the facilities are sparse but OK. The daughter of the hostess was very nice and friendly; the hostess herself is really doing her utmost best to please you and try to sell stuff at the same time.... More

We found this an 'average' hostel. The location was great, and the room and facilities standard and clean. The breakfast was simple, and adequate. Gladys was helpful about local activities, although a bit derisive about our plans to stop in Pyramides when touring Peninsular Valdes (which was unfounded). Perhaps our feelings are reflected in that we tried a different hostel... More

Excellent location - you really can't ask for better - and the best price in town (Puerto Madryn is relatively expensive). Good amenities (wifi, bathrooms, kitchen) and a supermercado nearby. Easy walk from the terminal. Great advice from Gladys on tours and activities, but always a good idea to ask around town. Slept well here; four nights in all. Great... More

Although there's nothing 'great' to say about this hostel, it's reasonably well located and a good place to stay while touring Peninsula Valdes. The hostel staff were helpful with booking a tour for us, but you could see that being nice didn't come naturally to the owner as she managed to put a negative spin on most things, until we... More

I recently stayed in El Retorno with a group of students as we were travelling around Argentina. Well located and clean, good facilities. The best thing about the hostel was how kind and helpful Gladys, the owner, was. She speaks excellent English, made several phonecalls for us, advised us on our journeys and could not do enough to help us.... More

This hostel is close to the beach and not far from the city centre located. Our room was not that big but comfortable and the shared bathroom got cleaned on odd times. The staff is really helpful by organising day trips, when we organised a trip without their help, the owner took offence at this. Too bad, beside this incident... More

I had 3 nights here in January in a private room/bathroom & was great. Good location - can walk to everywhere. Gladys was great with everything - she was able to organise my transfers & also my Valdes trip. Would recommend this hostel & would stay again.

This was an odd place, the owner comes over as friendly but it felt like staying in a relatives house, when whatever you are doing, they are there watching you and you can't relax. The room we felt was overpriced, we stayed in a private double, shared bathroom and there were no extras, the bedside lamp didn't work properly and... More
