At America del Sur Hostel, all rooms and dormitories have beautiful views of the valley and mountains beyond. They offer private bathrooms, lockers and heating. The hostel looks exactly how it looks like on photos. Every day you would be embraced by this stunning mountain and lake views. The staff were super friendly, responsive and took good care of your requests. They also have laundry service and you can get your laundry back on the same day, which was perfect. You can even exchange money here. It saved me a lot of time. I met a group of lovely people here and easily found my travel partners to the glaciers and to El Chaltén. A big thumb to the team. ¡Muchas gracias!

Set in El Calafate, 4.9 km from Argentinean Lake, Matices Hostel Centro offers accommodation with a garden, free private parking, a shared lounge and barbecue facilities. The property is located 700 metres from Regional Museum, 1.5 km from El Calafate Bus Station and 2 km from Nimez Lagoon. The accommodation provides a 24-hour front desk, airport transfers, a shared kitchen and free WiFi throughout the property. I thought this was a good place to stay. In a city that has a lot of tourists, this place was very reasonably priced and they treated us like visitors, not tourists. They were honest about what they thought we should and shouldn't spend money on, and they were patient when our Spanish wasn't the best. The place has pretty big rooms and a nice kitchen.
