    Very good location, a short walk from the bus station, no taxi necessary, if you're up for rolling your luggage down the street or sidewalk for about 5 to 10 minutes. Front desk staff Diana and Augustina were very friendly and helpful, they gave us good info about the town, restaurants and the hikes. Included breakfast was adequate. Room was quiet. FYI, This place is basically a hostel for budget conscious travellers, many of whom had rooms with shared bathrooms.

    Rancho Grande is at a great location in El Chaltén - close to the start of all the famous trekking trails. The restaurant area is open 24/7 - food is great (huge and delicious Milanesas! By staying in the hostel, I got 10% discount for all dinners. The atmosphere is very cozy, perfect for an after-hike relaxation. The kitchen area is big, common areas are well-designed.

    I’m not sure how this hostel isn’t better rated. The rooms are clean and comfortable, the staff were great, the facilities are great and the atmosphere is perfect! The kitchen is very large and well stocked which allows you to save a bit by cooking. The hostel is also the cheapest option available that we could find in chalten. There is also a very secure procedure for leaving your bags in reception after you’ve checked out if you aren’t ready to leave yet.

    The staff were incredibly helpful and one of the cleanest hostels I’ve stayed in. Rooms had lockers and there were plenty of showers and toilets so I never had to wait. Best location for hikes as well as you’re a 2 minute walk from the base. Charged in the official currency as well which makes it even cheaper than advertised in GBP.

    Cosy hostel, good staff, great location for the v popular Laguna de Los Tres hike. One of the dorm rooms has two beds and they let us switch, so effectively a private twin (bunkbed) room for the same price.
