Was met by great personell Augostino/Cat was very informative and helpful. The rest of the personell also great, and a masterchef (Matthias)! 10/10 food and attentiveness to you. Good beds, spacious and very cozy place with places to hang out with people, or be by yourself. Central place close to city center, but also busstation. Awesome place, so I came back some days later to eat and stay one more night

I stayed there one night only because I had to take a night bus that was departing at 3 am. This hostel met my needs perfectly. 50m from the bus stop, comfortable bed. Also, they have a breakfast included but I didn’t have a chance to have it as I was leaving in the middle of the night.

Bla Guest House

El Calafate

Set against an impressive Patagonian Mountain backdrop, Bla Guesthouse is a quaint guest house in downtown El Calafate.

Bla Guest House was awesome from the moment we walked in. Although we arrived very late because our bus from Puerto Natales was 2.5 hours late, we had a warm welcome and a very nice chat with the host. Our apartment was extremely comfortable and had everything we needed. It did not have a hairdryer but we asked for one when we needed it and the problem was solved immediately. The breakfast consists of sweets and bread/cereal so please keep this in mind if you're expecting a protein-rich meal. I would say it's decent for the price of the accommodation. There's also coffee and a variety of teas. PS: I rated the room sound isolation 4/5 not because the other guests were noisy, but because our window had a direct view of a neighboring garden where people partied and had parilla till late at night. But everything was calm and it really wasn't a big deal for us. We will definitely return to Bla Guest House!

Our stay was absolutely wonderful. The breakfast exceeded our expectations, but what truly made the experience unforgettable was the genuine hospitality of the owner. He was always attentive, ready to help with anything we needed, and shared great tips and recommendations, all with a warm smile that made us feel at home. The accommodation is perfectly located in the city center, with everything just a short walk away. We couldn’t have asked for a better stay!

The staff were really helpful and friendly and helped us to book a tour to the glacier with them for cheaper than we had found online, and a taxi to the bus station. The hostel was well maintained and very clean. They provided free coffee and some basic cooking items such as oil. The kitchen was very well stocked with utensils and crockery - perfect for us as we cooked all of our meals during our stay.

Great location, with a lovely view over the lake in the hostel restaurant/bar. Really nice atmosphere in the hostel in the communal area with strong wifi. The staff were really helpful and responsive (you can WhatsApp them at any point) - we arrived late and they arranged for us to be booked on a tour to the glacier for early the next day.

Very good quality for the price, one of the cheaper hostels in El Calafate. Beds are comfy and the included breakfast (bread, butter, jam, yoghurt, cornflakes) is a plus. Very friendly staff at reception. They let me chill in the hostel after checkout the whole day and evening before my 3am bus.

You can't beat the location of the hostel, it's only 2 blocks from the main road with restaurants, shops & everything else. The hostel itself is big & the staff are super helpful, the facilities are great & the communal areas are big too. I chose it as it was the cheapest option at the time.

Really enjoyed our time at this hostel! It’s in a great location - only 5min walk to the centre of town. The kitchen was well equipped and common areas were nice and social. The host Eugene was super helpful with advice about our trip and even gave us a free room upgrade to a bigger room across the street!
