I would like to call out the excellent customer service provided by the hotel manager Ignacio Lopez and Noelia. Ignacio went out of his way to help me resolve a last min change after I shared the situation with Noelia, who informed him. Ignacio also went to the tour operator to find information about local tours for me.

The staff at pioneros del valle are sooo nice and helpful. The place is clean and comfortable with lots of inviting spaces inside and outside to relax. The private rooms are the way to go with breakfast included. Make reservations early because they fill up fast. We ended up changing plans and I canโ€™t emphasize enough how sweet and patient the staff were in helping us find another night with a private room. We ended up staying a third night in the shared rooms which are definitely a different experience. Very clean and reasonably priced with a bathroom in each room and full access to the kitchen and cozy areas but we are older and this was outside our comfort zone. They let us leave our packs for free before and after while we waited to check in and for our bus departure.

The front desk staff were the highlight of the stay. Everyone was so helpful and friendly. Thanks team. The room was clean and bright - everything we needed. The breakfast was fine if a little disorganized. The kitchen is the reason for the 4 - it needs new counters, new equipment (dishes and cooking supplies), more towels and a thorough cleaning.

Great location and very comfortable beds. Nice common areas. Very friendly and helpful staff. Many of the electrical plugs in common areas donโ€™t hold the plugs. But they also had great adapter plugs in one common area. Common area bathrooms often ran out of toilet paper, but just have to ask staff for more.

WiFi worked well. Plenty of common space to relax and hang out in. Hostel is located centrally on the primary street of El Chalten. Bunk beds are wooden and make a bit of noise when you move on them. The bathroom in our area didnโ€™t have a key to lock the door from the inside so sometimes people would open the door without knocking while youโ€™re using the toilet.
