Although a little out of town, being on a hill means really great views. The staff there were lovely, especially Martin and the girl who looks like Nelly Furtado. Amazing BBQ, although few and far between this time of year. Breakfast is really dull - bread, crackers and bad coffee. Good tea selection though! And it makes up for the... More

Brilliant hostel. What really made it was the staff, who were super helpful, especially Ignacio. For example within an hour of booking through hostelworld got a nice welcome email from them asking if we needed more information etc & prompt replies to our emails. Very homey and warm feeling and atmosphere, the common area was rather nice. 4 bed dorm... More

I's close to the bus station, supermarkets, and the staff are really friendly. They can help you organise buses and tours, but I organised everything myself at the bus station. I ended up changing my plans and stayed here 1 night, then 2 nights in el Chalten and 1 night again here. This wasn't an issue. I stayed ina top... More

My husband and I stayed here on our way to Torres del Paine and absolutely loved the atmosphere! The place is clean, kitchen has everything you need, staff is super friendly and helpful (they will arrange everything for your trip to see Perito Moreno glacier and all buses pick you up from the hostel). It's a place where mostly college... More

I Keu Ken is a beautiful, friendly hostel about 5-10mins walk from the main drag and bus terminal. It is well worth the walk though. Nice new cottage feel, good beds and decent, clean bathrooms. The staff are lovely and are very helpful, they also speak fantastic English. Lali went above and beyond to help me out with getting around... More

Great hostel! Super friendly and helpful staff. There are large lockers for each person in the rooms and pretty good wi-fi. The breakfast is included but is basic (bread and butter, jam, dulce de leche with tea/coffee and juice). There's a nice sitting area downstairs and a very friendly atmosphere. They offer an asado (BBQ) once a week or so... More

Lovely homely atmosphere and a great breakfast. It's a bit of a trek from the bus ration compared to other places, but I think it's worth it. The dorm I was in felt a bit cramped, but the common areas are good and the staff helpful.

Location: hmm, longer than other hostels to bus terminal and centre, but really close to huge supermarket and on top of a hill, so nice place to relax. Staff: great, helpful, lovely. Breakfast: simple but ok! Rooms + bathroom: fine, it has lockers.

I really liked the atmosphere at this hostal. They are professional since ofcourse they still have a business to run and they take the time to explain you everything. They sit on the table and explain the town and the tours you can do. They do this hundreds of time a year but they still did it with interest and... More

This place is awesome! It's located on a hill near a big supermarket and views over the lake are beautiful. The kitchen is well kept, breakfast was great and the living area is inviting and social. Everything is kept really clean and staff were friendly and helpful. We were there over New Years and the staff put on a great... More
