    The private room was comfortable with a good hot shower, and the shared kitchen facilities were spacious and well-equipped. the location, although slightly outside the city center, was not a problem as the city is small and there was a bakery nearby.

    Felt very well taken care of, no complaints whatsoever.

    the hostel, with its clean and comfortable private rooms, exceeded my expectations. the daily room service and well-maintained common areas added to the positive experience. the wholemeal bread at breakfast was a pleasant surprise.

    Extra charges were added to our bill.

    During my stay at Del Glaciar Pioneros, I was impressed with the cleanliness of the bathrooms and kitchens, which were thoroughly cleaned multiple times a day. The common areas were spacious and provided a comfortable place to relax and socialize. Additionally, the hostel's location was convenient, just a short walk away from the bus station and the main street of town. The included breakfast was a great perk, and I appreciated the variety of food options available. I had a pleasant experience and would recommend this hostel for budget travelers.

    Staff helpful, providing excursions, taxi assistance, and area advice. Good showers. Basic facilities, simple but comfortable rooms. Great value for the cost, especially if not picky. Well-equipped kitchen. Hot shower with good water pressure. Decent breakfast with delicious pancakes.

    The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, always going above and beyond to assist. the WiFi was excellent, and the kitchen and shared area were also great. Despite being located at the end of a dusty road, the cleaning staff worked hard to keep the place spotless. the bathrooms were pristine with very hot water. There was no pressure from the staff to join tours.

    Felt so comfortable and at home, there was no reason to complain.

    We stayed at Hostel Del Glaciar Pioneros for a few days during our trip to Patagonia and had a fantastic experience. The staff were incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, offering great advice on local attractions and even arranging alternative tours that were both cheaper and more authentic than the typical touristy ones. The rooms were equipped with safes at no additional cost and the beds were extremely comfortable. The kitchen was well-sized and allowed us to cook our own meals. The location was convenient, just a short walk from the city center and bus station. The wifi worked flawlessly throughout our stay and we even enjoyed the company of the friendly resident cat and dogs. We would gladly stay here again on future visits.

    Would definitely recommend this hotel.

    My partner and I had a fantastic stay at this hostel for 5 nights. The front desk staff, especially Juan Pablo and Carlos, were incredibly welcoming and helpful, providing us with plenty of ideas for activities and assisting us with unexpected changes to our plans. The hostel itself was quiet and the breakfast was enjoyable. It was also convenient having a restaurant on-site. The staff's knowledge of the area and alternative tours made our stay even more enjoyable. We wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.

    100% recommend this hotel.

    The staff at the hotel were very friendly and helpful, providing us with all the information we needed during our stay. The location of the hotel was also very convenient, with easy access to nearby attractions and transportation options. the hotel had an onsite bar/restaurant, allowing us to enjoy a meal or a drink without having to leave the premises.

    One of the major downsides of the hotel was the lack of privacy in some of the rooms. We stayed in room number 9, which only had a net curtain, and this affected our level of privacy.

    Great WiFi in the room, cozy and heated room with a comfortable large bed. Handy for the bus station.

    WiFi is non-existent in the reception and rooms, broken mattresses, limited sockets in the room, small and dirty kitchen, and an overpriced breakfast with limited supplies. the location is also a bit far from the main part of town.

    The location of the hostel was convenient, with a restaurant on-site and good prices compared to other options in the area. Some rooms were spacious and had a nice view. The staff was helpful and accommodating, even changing the room type for one guest to better suit their needs.

    The walls were thin, allowing for noise from the water pipes to be heard throughout the day and night.
