The location was great and the vibe was mountain chic, with comfy common areas and even heated floors in our room. We were only there for one night, so can’t really say much more. It’s a very tourist/trekker friendly town, so prices are higher and this hostel followed suit. For a short stay, it was lovely but pricey.

Fine dining restaurant in the hotel for evening meal options. insider tip get the trout (trucha). This place is so far above the star ratings. Just book it.

Small boutique hotel with polite staff. Breakfast was made to order scrambled eggs, but had buffet style deli cold cuts and cheese, fresh fruits, assorted pastries and bread. Hotel is walking distance from Main Street and the starting points of several of the main hikes. Only flaw there’s no central AC unit so the room gets warm

Gorgeous, spacious rooms. Each room has a sitting area and outdoor deck. You can easily walk to everywhere in town. Once you park your car you can go to all trailheads by foot. Highly recommend! Maximus is incredible. He works the front desk and the restaurant. He is incredibly kind, hospitable, welcoming, and knowledgeable. Fabulous property representative!

Restaurant is good but we highly recommend having Argentinian /EL Chaltén local cuisine / better mastering the cuisine of the region that goes with the cost ambiance than trying to offer some modern/international cuisine that does not execute it well. Even for Argentinian it will work better.

Unhelpful staff for the high cost
The hotel staff was extremely unhelpful and sometimes rude. The two women working the front desk seemed annoyed whenever we asked them simple questions.
They also charged us more than what we booked for. They said it was the law and that we’d get a refund on our credit card but it hasn’t worked like that at any other hotel in Argentina.
The hotel is clean / located in a good spot. After walking around El Chalten and seeing other hotels / hostels, I wish I had gone with a more affordable option because everything in town was pretty comparable in quality.
