Cons: The showers were not enough for the amount of people and some of them didn't work properly.

Pros: Staff rearranged bed for our second night, staff at reception very nice and helpful.
Cons: Waitress extremely unfriendly and incompetent, breakfast mediocre (extremely hard bread, burnt eggs, only canned fruit-salad, only one coffee per person included), lovelessly furnished room and old bathroom. We had a matrimonial bed the first night despite having a confirmation for a twin. Poor wifi. Too pricy for what it is.

Pros: Location was good! Breakfast Ok. Great restaurant La Oveja Negra next door.
Cons: This is definitely a hostel. But because of the price we paid, we were expecting a little more comfort. We're on a 3 months trip. This was not the cheapest place we stayed at but it was the least comfortable. I took my shoes off in the room after checking in & within minutes my black socks were full of dust & hair. Fortunately, sheets, pillows, toilet, shower & sink were clean.

Pros: The eco domes are amazing, didn't want to leave!! My partner and I stayed here for two nights as a special treat after staying in budget hotels and campsites. We had a hire car so the remote location down a dirt track was not an issue for us though I believe they do offer a shuttle bus service. The domes are beautiful, the beds are so comfortable, and the rooms full of character. The mountain views from the domes are stunning, just like you expect from the photos. A member of staff would come round and light the log fires late afternoon so you could come back to a warm room. The lobby and dining room domes are also lovely and comfortable. We ate at the restaurant both nights as we couldn't resist - the food is of the highest quality, cooked excellently, and is good value. I think it was $25 per person for a 3 course meal including a tea or coffee. The sirloin steak we had the first night was divine. Breakfast is also excellent. Staff speak fluent English, and very friendly and couldn't do enough to help. There is no wifi or phone signal here and so we spent our evenings talking to other guests, eating wonderful food and reading by our log fire in our lovely dome. 10/10 cannot recommend enough!

Pros: It is a unique experience - sleeping under the sky, Fitz roy and crazy patagonian winds. Rabbits and kittens making this place a wonderland. Desing is just like you imagined it when you were a little kid in a wonder forest. Reception staff are amazing and very helpful guys, thank you!

Pros: Pretty much everything! Breathtaking view of the Fitz Roy and the surrounding landscape, cozy and clean room, comfy bed, an actual wood fire place in the room that either the staff or you could start a fire every night (they provided the firewood), delicious food. Such an awesome and unique experience, wish we could have stayed for a week! If you love to camp but also like being comfortable, the domes are perfect. You have the feeling of being in nature but are completely protected from the elements. Flora, Violetta, and Santiago were so kind and awesome! The eco domes are very remote. There isn’t cell service or WiFi here—which wasn’t important to us, you can go into El Chalten to find WiFi at any restaurant. You also do need some kind of transportation to and from the eco domes but there is a free shuttle that can be arranged by the staff at certain times and we had a fairly easy time getting a taxi in El Chalten to take us back to the eco domes. There is also a shorter trail to get to Laguna de Los Tres right on the property—makes the hike a little bit shorter and easier than starting all the way in El Chalten. I don’t have one bad thing to say about this place, it was one of the highlights of our trip!

Pros: The location and the cosy domes with the wood burning stoves was superb. Best of all was the yummy gluten free pack up for lunch while out walking to Laguna tres lagos from the dome! Breakfast and dinner was also exceptional. Catering well for gluten free diets in such a remote location is impressive.

Pros: The domes are nice and cosy when the fire is lit. The staff was very kind and helpful. It was a wonderful experience for us sleeping in a dome for the first time.
Cons: Well, as said in other references before, it is definitely a nice experience sleeping in the domes, but all in all I think not worth the price asked for. Dinner is good and served well, but nothing that special. The lunch pack was sufficient in quantity but kind of made without much dedication, the sandwiches dry and made without any creativity. If it's cold outside be prepared to get up two to three times in the night to keep the fire burning, wasn't that romantic as I expected.

Cons: The price i too high because you have a poor breakfast, expensive launch boxex. Nights are freezy - the fire stop while younare already aspleep, no wife or internet available.

4.2 Okay
Pros: - The view is nice - The food served during the dinner is nice and well cooked
Cons: - The wind is so strong, it feels like the tent might just brake and fly off any time, especially because they need some proper renovation and air comes through the many holes - The noise of the wind against the tent makes it impossible to sleep, as a result we spent two sleepless nights. Unless you are prepared to come with earplugs etc etc, just don’t come sleep here. - The room gets cold, and you have to get up every hour (yes during the night !!!) to add wood in the tiny fireplace. The fireplace is not big enough to warm up the room as a result it’s just a pain - Found a scorpion on the tend. Yes a scorpion. Plus many spiders - While the view is nice, everything else is very basic. All in all we were left disappointed and left one day earlier than expected. For USD 350 a night, a better manteinance of the tent is expected as well as some accessories in case people don’t come prepared (earplugs, small electric heaters in the room etc). The price is extremely expensive for what you get. If you are looking for a Glamping type of experience looks elsewhere.

Pros: The hostel is in the center around 15-20 minutes on foot from the bus station. The check-in was smooth and simple and I appreciated that we could choose to pay either by cash or by card (generally the second option is not offered). The staff is friendly and, because they knew it was our honeymoon, they upgraded our reservation by assigning us a private room - which was really cool from them. The panorama surrounding the town is amazing.

Pros: Rooms are very clean and comfortable and well heated. Big bonus when it's cold. The owner is helpful and has drawn a useful map for the trails that he passes out.
Cons: You could hear people in the main room talking loudly. This was a problem one night out of 3, unfortunately the owner leaves the premises around 10 pm so there is no one there to tell a bunch of happily drinking people to be more quiet. Other than that, a very friendly hostel with a small and a huge kitchen. The big kitchen is never used since the big adjacent di99ning room is closedd up with chairs on the tables all the time. With a few sofas and comfy chairs, this could be a great common space where noise does not bother anyone.

Cons: There is only one minus: wi-fi connection. The problem is anyway recurrent in every facility of the town, therefore plan in advance to enjoy the nature and some good books away from the net.

Cons: We found the price a bit exaggerated for a 6 dorm beds regarding the services. And the heating was on all day long but not during the nights. Would have been better to do the contrary.

Cons: Quite basic accommodation for the price - we took option of private room with private bathroom. A chair in the room would have been good. Building generally quite noisy with squeaking doors and foot fall sounds on the stairs. Probably due to the design of the building rather than people actually making loud noises. Poor wifi, but I think this is an issue in the whole town.
