Edelweiss Hostel — Hotel in El Calafate

We decided not to book here as rooms appeared dark and uninviting (we booked a nearby Airbnb which was much nicer at the same cost) but did have a very unfortunate experience with the owner/front desk. Our tour bus asked for us to select the nearest hostel/hotel for pickup as they do not pick up from Airbnbs, so being that this place was the closest to us - we provided this spot for pick-ip. We were standing outside this hostel and an older lady came out to ask if we are staying at the hostel, we responded no but are just waiting for our tour bus, to that she yelled - "don't stay here, otherwise I'm calling the police - go to the bus station". To that we simply told her we will stand on the public road away from her hostel, she went back inside. A few minutes later she came out again and threatened calling the police, we were simply standing quietly in the public road not causing any nuisance - I advised her that this is a public road and we are not commiting any violation simply standing here and she can go ahead and call the police... She stormed back inside. Once our tour bus arrived she then came out to harass the driver, saying that he cannot pick up outside her hostel and take videos with her cell phone. We're happy with the decision of not booking here - decent hospitality is certainly not something that could be expected based on this experience, we think this could have handled very differently and it's just plain...

Although I don't know when this hostel opened, it felt like it was brand new. Every room was spotless and really well thought out. The beds were really comfortable and there were plenty of towels to use and spare blankets (if you wanted an extra blanket on your bed). There's a good size kitchen, dinning area and lobby downstairs. However, I must make a special mention for the hostess. She was absolutely lovely and really friendly. Despite the bus station only being a 4 min walk away, she picked us up from the bus station (free of charge) and drove us back there after our trip. When we were sat downstairs in the evening playing games and chatting, she would make us cups of tea/coffee and bring us cakes! All in all, highly...
