The staff were very friendly, the private room was a decent size and clean, the kitchen was big enough for at least 4 people to cook at once. The area was quiet but also central. It was a 10-15min walk from el Centro or downtown. Breakfast was simple but got the job done.

I had an excellent check in reception which i would have rated 5/5 easily. She was the weekend staff and she was very helpful, informative, and pleasant, but the weekdays, morning front desk staff was completely different than all other staffs. He was selective how he relates to the guests. It seems he likes to get acquainted with the females guests more. Both time, i asked for information, it seems he cannot be bother and very short and direct with the information. I asked where i can stroll around town amd he suggested the beach. He causally point I go down the road, and I should get to the beach. Instead, he could've given me direction to the main road where it will lead to the beach, rather i have to asked the locals on the street after I got lost and went into some deadend road. When i checked in, the lady drew on the map the places to eat. Therefore, the rating is dropped 4/5 for poor guest service. I checked out unsatisfied and he knew it...sadly.

Pretty nice hostel, pretty basic but standard breakfast better than other hostels I stayed at in the area. A little expensive for a hostel but again that’s just the price you pay in the southern regions. Nice facility and fast wifi, kitchen was fairly large and lots of space to accommodate guests

Folks was a great place to stay headed to Patagonia. Great service. The management has thought through how to help people feel comfortable while there. The kitchen is great plenty of room and the common area is large and open. Super close to the bus terminal which is helpful headed to Patagonia. Town center is a bit of a walk but there is a path with stairs that was good on the legs in prep for hiking Patagonia!! I stayed going in and coming out of Patagonia. Both times I got a good nights sleep. The roommates were respectful and friendly.

Amazing hostel and friendly staf

This is the best hostel we stayed in the entire trip! The kitchen was well equipped and the rooms were big and super clean. The most friendliest staff Ludege, he was so quick to help us find a baby sitter and did manage to get us on the minitrek in Perito Moreno in a very short notice. I would highly recommend him to book your tours!

Ein super Hostel! Das Personal ist sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Auch beim buchen von Touren oder Transfers bekommt man Tipps und Hilfe. Das Frühstück war zwar nicht riesig vom Umfang, jedoch hat man alles was man braucht und lecker war es auch! Tipp: Lunchbox an Rezeption bestellen, wenn man längere Touren vor hat.

清潔でアットホームで安い！

建物は真新しく、二段ベッド、トイレ、シャワー室は白色基調でとても清潔感に溢れていて気持ちよく利用できました。また、特に午後のフロント担当の男性が本当にフレンドリーで、丁寧にいろいろと対応してくれました。朝食も美味しく、自分で料理を作れるキッチンエリアもあり、なんといっても止まっている人たちがとてもリラックスしていて初対面のはずなのに、まるで共同生活をしているコミュニティのような雰囲気の中で、過ごすことができました。料金もとても安く、次も機会があればフォークホステルに必ず泊まります
