価格相当の宿泊先、シャワートイレが共同の部屋だった１点だけが残念。

フロントでクジラウォッチングやバルデス半島、その他のツアーが購入できるので便利。シャワートイレ付きの部屋もあるが、私は共同の部屋だったので、その点だけが不便だったが、あとは軒並み快適と言える。

Good hostel

Great location by the beach, bus terminal and town centre and really friendly and helpful staff who spoke good English. It offers plenty of amenities and is a good hostel. I booked a private room which I found a little expensive for one person. It was a bit cheaper than a hotel room but also more basic than a hotel room but clean and secure and more than fine for a few nights, especially given the great location. The breakfast wasn't great though as it's typical hostel fare, but you'll find plenty of decent coffee down the road
