Bed bugs!! & no refund - do NOT stay here!
TLDR: bed bugs and zero refund or effort to remedy the situation, do NOT stay here! booked for 3 nights as a solo woman traveling in Argentina for my first time. I have had very bad luck in the past with pests so I inspected the mattress when I first got there and didn’t see any signs of bugs. After lying in the bed resting for a few hours I got up & noticed the tiniest red speck on my pillow & then I saw it move. I crushed it & there was blood all over the napkin & then I flipped it over & found another & the same thing happened. I realized they were bed bug nymphs after doing some research & I began to search for more signs. Eventually I found several adult ones, their exoskeletons, excrement, and several eggs in the night stand directly by the bed. At this point it was almost midnight & their reception closed at 9pm. I messaged them & heard no response. I frantically packed up all my things & left. At one point I was standing on the side of a gravel road alone with all my luggage after midnight as I had nowhere to go since I couldn’t reach reception & it was so late when I discovered them and peak busy season with limited availability elsewhere. I spoke with the lady the next day and she refused a refund, lied to my face about being there earlier that day and said to contact Expedia but I told her they couldn’t reach her either. She then said to contact the owner but refused to give me their contact info to do so. I told her I’d write this & she shrugged & said “okay.”

Excellent choice in El Chaltén
I was very happy with this cool little hotel! It's a very short walk from the bus station. My room was clean and comfortable. The shower was great with good water pressure and plenty of hot water. It was very nice to have use of the small kitchen for preparation and storage of food - and it's also a lovely space to sit in and enjoy morning coffee with views of the surrounding mountains. The kitchen could be a bit better equipped in terms of dishes and utensils for cooking.

The woman at the front desk during my stay was super helpful and friendly! You get what you pay for in terms of amenities (I had some issues with my shower that were fixed in a timely fashion), but it is in a very central location. There’s also a super cute cat that hangs around!

It is very clean, both in the lobby and in room. Owner Ada is very friendly and willing to help, not only the stay itself, also about the town and the trail information.

Très bien situé, hôte très sympa et dynamique.
Calme et agréable, la chambre disposait d’une cuisine équipée partagée. Notre hôtesse très dynamique était à l’écoute de nos besoins. Très proche des départ de randonnées. Demandez l’histoire de la paire de skis accrochés au mur de la reception…
