America Del Sur Calafate Hostel

Super friendly and helpful staff, nice view and a very cozy living room with a bar

Ubicado a poca distancia del centro, 5 minutos andando. Las camas muy comodas, habitación con baño privado con ducha muy grande, instalaciones limpias. Amplio salon comedor muy bonito con unas vistas muy lindas para ver la puesta de sol. Destacar la amabilidad de el personal y predisposición para ayudar, aconsejar en todo, les doy un 10. Muy contenta con las estancia, sin duda repetiría.

This place represents what traveler hostels are intended to be – a cool spot to hang out, meet people, and find your own combo of chill and adventure. The staff at the front desk enjoy meeting visitors and giving advice on how to get things arranged (they even held my cash for me, til an outside tour company came to collect it). And, they are wonderful people themselves, and great to meet and chat with. Because of them, the vibe at America de Sur is just what you would want – easy-going, helpful and welcoming. While I was there, a local band came and played music at dinner. That was a really nice bonus, as is the outdoor deck behind the dining area. The location is great for transport to the glaciers and airport, and America de Sur is well known among the tour operators so there is no problem with pick-up and drop-offs.

I had an excellent stay at Americana Del Sur! The rooms have only 4 beds and an ensuite bathroom, shower and lockers. The public area is great! Very comfortable coaches and tables, a outside deck and lawn furniture - and you can't beat the view from the all glass wall! The staff was AMAZING!!! All of them were so nice and remembered my name and even the smallest details of what was going on with me. Really personalized service. Very highly recommended!!

I had a great experience at this Hostel and I would recommend it to friends traveling in this area. They keep the place clean, and better than advertised when it comes to the energy of the place. Breakfast is great and the quality of the rooms is better than I’ve found elsewhere. The reason this place is so great is definitely because of the people who work there. Big thanks to Augustin, Micaela, and Bautista especially who were really kind and patient with me. They helped me organize tours and the bus system. My trip would have been les good without them. Huge thank you!

Very well maintained and great location. Even though this is on the hill little outside of main area but short walking distance and nice separation to be quiet. Facility is very clean and they offer laundry service which was great. Also this hostel offer airport transportation and other fun tours cheaper than many of local tour companies, so you should reach out before taking taxi from the airport or booking online.

Thank you to the beautiful staff at reception and the fabulous kitchen staff and delish food , it made our stay most special

Kitchen staff was phenomenal! Front desk staff…well, let’s just say the apathy was astounding and they had world class incompetence. Great at writing front desk log notes then promptly forgetting that you wanted a taxi. Had the room next to the front desk, they abandoned the desk with a printer error that beeped all night EVERY 15 SECONDS! Didn’t sleep a wink. In short, front desk staff cannot be trusted with the simplest of tasks. “ Do it yourself” attitude is pervasive. Stay somewhere else! Edit: Gimena, the manager responded asking for details “so we can improve”. After giving her details, she proceeds to berate me and falsely acuse me of being rude (and even reports me to the booking agency!)- even though I had already checked out and left at the time she said that she had “video evidence”. This is probably my worst hostel experience. Ever. Terrible staff. Vindictive manager. Seriously, you don’t want to pay a premium to stay here

the staff was friendly and always happy to answer question and offer additional information regarding calafate and near by attraccions. The place offer a great atmosphere of friendship and good vibes.
