Could be better
Pros:

One of the cheapest private rooms we could find in El Chalten. This about concludes the list of good things about the stay.

Cons:

The cotton bed sheets were so fill of the balls it resembled more sandpaper than a bed sheet. Considering the 70$ per night price, it is not so unreasonable to expect white sheets.
The owner or someone who lives there permanently had a dog right behind our cabin that was barking every night.

Pleasant
Pros:

We loved the mountain view!

The cabaña is simple but has everything you need. It's a great value for money in the El Chaltén area.

Cons:

In our opinion, the bedding was outdated and not suitable, especially for those with allergies. The bed was comfortable, but we chose to sleep in our sleeping bags.

Has potential. Could do better!
Pros:

Ability to make a meal and a warm coffee before and after a long hike in the mountains near El Chalten!

Cons:

Turned off heat in the middle of a cold night and this made our cabin freezing cold. Don’t expect this when paying $185 a night!

Clean and warm. Good to sleep and not spend long time.
Pros:

The property has different small “houses” which makes it more private because you are sharing the common areas with less people than in a normal hostel. The people from the staff were super friendly and helpful during the entire stay!

Cons:

The room was really, really small. There wasn’t even enough space to open the backpacks, if we all needed to do it at the same time.

Superb
Pros:

I'm very glad I stayed here, it was comfortable (minus the bed feels like it could Crack but it won't lol). There's kitchen available. receptionist is great. Location doesn't matter cause this town is just 10min everywhere

Cons:

I do wish they provided basic things like cooking oil and soap in the bathroom though. And wished they turn on the heat longer and earlier during winter. I was freezing hehe

Ridiculous to charge for luggage storage after checking out
Pros:

It was warm and water was also hot

Cons:

The ridiculous charge for storing the luggage. 2,000 pesos per hour and 7,000 pesos per day. No other hotel (cheap or expensive) that I stayed at charged for luggage storage after checking out.

This accommodation is a reasonable option if you are unable to find something more interesting
Pros:

The accommodation offered a competitive price compared to the average in El Chaltén, and the staff was attentive and friendly.

Cons:

The Wi-Fi in our cabana did not function properly, leaving us without any connection for an entire day. Additionally, one of the nights, the heater stopped working, resulting in an extremely cold experience.
