We got the best welcome from Nadia the receptionist, who welcomed us with a smile and helped us arrange our trip to the Moreno Glacier. The hostel was one of the best we have stayed at, with a great common room and nice view over the Andes. It's a little outside the city center, but it 's a small walk... More

This hostel has and does everything. A lady called Laura met us off the bus we had ne reservations booked but had head about the hostel she kindly paid for us in a taxi to the hostel its about 10 min walk from the bus terminal but with all your luggage a taxi is always good ! The breakfast is... More

Spend few nights. Arrived and felt immediately super comfortable. Well, this was cos it was a cosy wooden house and the guy behind the desk were exactly kind of a person I'd hire to work in my hostel if I'd have one. Lockers in the room (many sized locks fit), kitchen, big and nice common areas, awesome view from the... More

I really liked this place. The views were amazing, the common areas had sofas for lounging around. The staff were super friendly and very helpful too and they seemed genuinely eager to help. You can organise a lot of the tours and even buses to other cities straight from the hostel, which is very convenient. The rooms were fine. I... More

Don't trust the rating, you should avoid this adress if you want something clean. We choose the double room in the little house near the dormitory. We saw a mouse! and a lot of flies... Very expensive for a room that's not cleaned (and I prefer not to know how is the kitchen..)

I had friends stay at America Del Sur in BA and they loved it, so upon heading for El Calafate, as well as being the one name that kept coming up in conversations, I based my choice on that. It did not disappoint. I loved all the staff - Nadia, Raf, German, Fede - thanks guys! Made my stay. Aside... More

We loved America Del Sur's common space. It has an incredible view and there are a lot of different corners to choose from. It has two levels so you can choose to sit upstairs in the loft where it is quieter but still feel the buzz of what is happening on the main floor. The only downside is that the... More

The crew makes the difference here, really nice people who can help you with everything. Rooms are basic, but OK. Common space features great views and plenty of seating options. Kitchen equipment is adequate, but has the most room for improvement. All in all, great base to start exploring Patagonia!

I stayed at America del Sur Hostel for about 3 nights with a friend in the middle of winter (July 2012). I was a huge fan of the heated flooring. The beds were a bit small and cramped, but the rooms were clean. Thankfully in the dead of winter, the showers were hot - almost flaming hot at times. The... More
