Pretty nice hostel, pretty basic but standard breakfast better than other hostels I stayed at in the area. A little expensive for a hostel but again that’s just the price you pay in the southern regions. Nice facility and fast wifi, kitchen was fairly large and lots of space to accommodate guests

Folks was a great place to stay headed to Patagonia. Great service. The management has thought through how to help people feel comfortable while there. The kitchen is great plenty of room and the common area is large and open. Super close to the bus terminal which is helpful headed to Patagonia. Town center is a bit of a walk but there is a path with stairs that was good on the legs in prep for hiking Patagonia!! I stayed going in and coming out of Patagonia. Both times I got a good nights sleep. The roommates were respectful and friendly.

Amazing hostel and friendly staf
This is the best hostel we stayed in the entire trip! The kitchen was well equipped and the rooms were big and super clean. The most friendliest staff Ludege, he was so quick to help us find a baby sitter and did manage to get us on the minitrek in Perito Moreno in a very short notice. I would highly recommend him to book your tours!
