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

Hostel Argentina getaway
Hotel staff very helpful, always English speaking staff, assisted with ideas for local things to do and see. Only 2 or 3 blocks from coast. I stayed in female only dorm, only 3 bunk beds, 6 lockable cabinet/lockers but you need your own lock. Large bathroom. Music played from somewhere at night on weekend, loud but only with open window. Kitchen available for use, storage and cooking.

Nice!
Very nice, helpful staff and nice accommodation. This is a hostel, not a hotel, so for its purposes, it was perfect for us.

Not right in the middle, but great hostel owner!!!
This is not right in the middle of puerto iguazu, and puerto iguazu is so hot that it matters. Most of the room was clean but not all of it. The owner is really nice and would help you as much as you need and is really friendly. Breakfast was enough for me.

Good budget stay in the center of Puerto Madryn
I was a bit nervous about staying at a youth hostel in my age (mid-40s). But as long as you stay at a twin or double room, it was pretty much the same as in a typical budget hotel. The use of common kitchen can be regarded as an extra bonus. Besides, the reception was great. Considering my tight travel schedule, I wanted to book the tours in advance. The English-speaking male receptionist called Facundo handled my request without any errors even if I made my request 5.5 months before my arrival at the hostel. Also, the heater in my room got broken and I notified the fact around 5 p.m. The female receptionist promised me to take care of the situation in several hours. I doubted that the heating would actually be recoverd. However, the heating did in fact recovered by 10 p.m. and I enjoyed the comfortable stay though I borrowed extra blankets in preparation for non-recovery of heater considering the nature of late evening repair works.

Lovely place to stay - great town too
What a nice hostel! Very clean. Nice big kitchen and common area. The rooms are pretty comfortable. The staff goes out of their way to provide advice, information of the local areas, and are just friendly too. I'd highly recommend a stay here. Convenient to the beach and the grocery store as well.

Really good hostel
Great hostel, positioned between bus terminal and beach. Staff are friendly and helpful booking excursions. There is plenty of communal space to relax and hammocks in the garden. Kitchen is also large and well equipped. The double room was very clean and tidy. A really good standard for a hostel, even had cable TV and large flat screen. Breakfast is poor and the rooms could be more soundproof, otherwise fantastic.
