Situated in El Calafate and with Argentinean Lake reachable within 3.9 km, Folk Hostel features concierge services, non-smoking rooms, a garden, free WiFi throughout the property and a shared lounge. The property is set 500 metres from El Calafate Bus Station, 400 metres from Regional Museum and 2.5 km from Nimez Lagoon. The accommodation offers a shared kitchen, a 24-hour front desk and currency exchange for guests. The staff is where they stood out. They initially had no bottom beds (of bunks) but found one and accommodated me. The kitchen was well inventoried/big, beds comfy, plug/shelf at each bed, large locker, plenty of community space, best breakfast included in price(in years of travel). To conclude- I left my towel behind and staff found it-I was able to pick it up a week later with help of Faustina and others members of staff. Thanks again for the nicest/cheapest hostel in Argentina or Chile.
