    Comfortable beds with individual light, sockets, and shelves. Convenient kitchen for cooking and included breakfast.- Great location near the bus station for easy access to Chalten, Perito Moreno glacier, and Chile.

    Aggressive water pressure in the bathroom. Noisy squeaking doors in the evening.

    The location of this hostel is ideal, being close to the bus terminal and only a short walk from the city center. The staff is friendly and helpful, providing excellent service. The rooms are clean and comfortable, with comfortable beds and soft bedsheets. The shared facilities, such as the kitchen and common areas, are bright and pleasant to be in. Additionally, the breakfast provided is tasty and filling, making for a great start to the day.

    The internet connection at this hostel requires you to sign in constantly, which can be quite frustrating.

    As young people, we loved the vibrant and welcoming atmosphere. The brand new facilities were impressive, especially the heated floors and spacious bathrooms. The well-equipped kitchen was ideal for preparing our meals, and the complimentary breakfast was excellent. The location, right across from the main bus terminal, made it convenient for exploring the area. The presence of power plugs at every bed and the comfortable beds ensured a comfortable stay. The strong Wi-Fi, although it required occasional reconnection, kept us connected during our visit.

    Felt very relaxed, nothing to complain about.

    The hostel had great facilities such as a hairdryer, power sockets and light in bed. The cleanliness and organization of the rooms and kitchen were impressive. I also appreciated the good socializing space provided, which made it easy to meet other travelers.

    The staff member who checked us in was a bit brusque, which wasn't the best first impression. the area with the shared bathrooms could be quite loud depending on the other guests.

    I recently stayed at Folk Hostel for a few nights while visiting the stunning natural landscapes nearby. The location of the hostel was perfect, close to the bus terminal for easy access to El Chalten and a short walk from the main street with its great bars, cafes, and restaurants. The comfortable bed, friendly and helpful staff, good wifi, and well-equipped kitchen made my stay even more enjoyable. The breakfast offered a variety of options at a great price, and the helpful receptionist and relaxing bath tub were added bonuses.

    Strongly recommend this hotel.

    I recently stayed at Folk Hostel for a short-term visit and it was one of the best hostel stays I've had in my travels across 30 countries. The location is very convenient, being near the bus station and within a 10-minute walk to the main town area. The hostel itself is brand new and boasts beautiful fittings, with large windows offering nice views. The rooms are well-designed with ample space between beds and each bed has a luggage storage facility. The staff at the reception and reservation desks were extremely friendly and helpful. The breakfast provided was also very nice, with good coffee available. I highly recommend Folk Hostel for anyone looking for a short or long term stay.

    I do recommend this hostel.

    The hostel was located just a short walk from the bus station, making it incredibly convenient for arriving and departing. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful, always willing to assist with any questions or requests. The room I stayed in was clean and tidy, providing a comfortable space to relax after a long day of exploring.

    The breakfast served at the hostel was average at best, and could have been improved with more variety and better quality options. the fact that you couldn't cook or use the kitchen during breakfast time was a bit inconvenient.
