The hostal was great, the staff was very friendly (she even gave us a little map and stickers). The wifi worked very great and the location was very convenient. We were in a 5 min short walk from the main avenue. The breakfast was pretty average but enough to fill out stomachs. It’s a very well known hostel for all the tours and transfers.

Matices hostel was one of the best we have stayed. They were so efficient and proactive in communication via whatsapp The location was superb, only a few steps from the bus station. The entire bldg is new and modern. The bedrooom and bathoom were large, modern and clean; plenty of hot water; beds were comfortable. heater worked well; free breakfast; bright and pleasant lobby with large windiws; 24 hour reception; two huge common kitchens; luggage storage; kind cheerful good looking English speaking staff were happy to answer our questions. They helped us with buying national park entrance tickets online and helped us communicating with our hotel in El Chalten. We appreciated their help so much. After 11pm, it was so quiet and we slept well. We liked everything about this hostel.

You can't beat the location of the hostel, it's only 2 blocks from the main road with restaurants, shops & everything else. The hostel itself is big & the staff are super helpful, the facilities are great & the communal areas are big too. I chose it as it was the cheapest option at the time.

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.

Really enjoyed our time at this hostel! It’s in a great location - only 5min walk to the centre of town. The kitchen was well equipped and common areas were nice and social. The host Eugene was super helpful with advice about our trip and even gave us a free room upgrade to a bigger room across the street!
