Nice people and big kitchen for cooking. Was not a party hostel, which we appreciated. Clean, but a little run-down in some areas, but hardly worth noticing. Best to stay in one of the upstairs rooms as the you hear everything from down below. More

Had a great stay for a week at Alaska. The hostel has a really nice vibe as well as a great communal space and kitchen. The rooms aren't particularly fancy, but not much need to spend daylight hours there anyway as the communal areas are so good. The owners are great and give lots of really useful information when you... More

We had a very nice time in Alsaka, the staff is very friendly and helpful and you can relax all over the place. The kitchen is clean and so are the bathrooms, breakfast with home made bread and fresh coffee. Our room was way to small for all of us but at that moment there was nothing bigger free. The... More

We stayed here for 5 nights. As many have said the hostel is outside of the town centre on the road towards Llao Llao, personally we liked that as didnt particularly like the main centre and most of the activities are towards Llao Llao. We had a private room and it came with ensuite (and tv) and was very large... More

Hi, thanks for your comment, just want to be clear with one point, we have no fleas at the hostel neither the pets. Fleas are not common in Bariloche. The bits for shure were from bed bugs, they travel with people everywhere, and we can solve it after we got notice from any guest. To prevent this, we got a... More

I'm not sure I can add any new info to help you choose this spot other than to reinforce what's already been said. The breakfast is very good, the owners are sweethearts (as are their pets) and the communal spaces are spacious and inviting. This is a great location if your objective is good access to the lake or skiing.... More

The location is great, part of the way from Bariloche to Llao Llao. You will be spending all of your time on the peninsula,in the mountains or on the playas, all of which are easier to get to when you stay at Alaska. You are not missing anything by not staying in town, apart from a couple of nice restuarants... More

We stayed at this hostel for nearly 2 weeks altogether. It felt like home. Naty and Javi are amazing. Javi even lent us some money till we could get to the cash machine. Javi also bakes fresh bread everyday for breakfast mmmmmmmmmmmm. The beds are super comfy, there are tonnes of plug sockets everywhere for charging stuffand the kitchen is... More

We stayed a this very cozy hostel run by its young owners with the cutest baby in town. The owners (and the only staff) Javi and Naty, where really helpful and down to earth. They helped us when we had any sort of question and even drove us to the city centre as they had an errand. This is the... More

One word for this hostel, OUTSTANDING! The peace and tranquility of this excellently-run home away from home is exceptional. It's more like an escape to a large wooden cabin in the Alpines with your family and friends - the difference being that this costs a fraction of the price. The view of the snow-capped mountains is breathtaking and the lake... More

This hostel is a bit out of town, and does require taking the #20 bus from the town center, but it is well worth it! The placehas an amazing view, is very charming and is run by a wonderful family. There are also 4 adorable cats and 1 cute dog to help enrich your stay! It has been like home... More
