We had a really comfortable stay at Chimbas. The guys running the show are really helpful and attentative. The house is beautiful and cleaned regularly throughout the day. Ideally situated next to the bus station and a 10 minute bus ride to the central district. You can book all sorts of trips from the hostel which are reasonably price. We... More

My husband and I spent a week here relaxing after travelling extensively through South America. It’s a lovely place with a great kitchen and dining room area – it’s not a party hostel. Our room was clean, had a decent fan and the shower was hot. Although the toilet bin wasn’t changed daily as stated. Wifi is accessible everywhere including... More

The perfect hostel if you're looking for a nice private room (there are no dorms). It is a little outside the city centre but still walking distance and there is a busstop nearby. The kitched was great, and they have a nice garden with a swimming pool. The owners were very friendly and you can book nice excursions at the... More

We stayed her one night on our way from Valpo to Buenos Aires. Very nice room, beautiful backyard, well equipped kitchen and a very helpful staff. It's just next to the bus station, and a 20min walk or a 15 pesos taxi ride from the city centre. Breakfast is very simple. Be aware of mosquitos :( But we really enjoyed... More

Chimbas is worlds apart from other hostels in Mendoza. We moved here after spending a horrible few nights in a dirty, ill-equipped hostel nearby and were after something clean and a bit different. As soon as we walked into Chimbas we knew we wanted to stay, It is cared for like a family home, with a lovely communal area, beautiful... More

We enjoyed our short stay at the Chimbas. Our room was fantastic, clean and quiet. The kitchen was fantastic, well stocked and equipped. It is a little out of town, but Claudio was very helpful with directions and it is a short bus ride into Mendoza central. The bus ride was just part of the adventure.

Claudio the owner (together with his mother) is helpfull, friendly and speaks great english. The location is fine, not perfect, fine, its about a 15 minute walk... More

I have just completed a four night stay here, we booked a twin room with private bathroom and were nit disappointed. The room had two separate bedrooms, one very large with double bed and tv, the other smaller with a single bed. The hostel kitchen was one of the cleanest I have come across as were the courtyard garden and... More
