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.
