Definitely seems like a restaurant that happens to have accommodation upstairs. Very noisy. But is probably the best available in El Chalten.

The property is conveniently located to the great hikes in the area. The staff was very helpful with recommendations for renting gear. And the restaurant had so many good options with super availability. On the negative side, the room window covers were not very dark (there was a bright light outside my window) and the door did little to quiet those walking noisily by in the hallway. Positives outweighed the negatives, though.

Good location to walks.
We stayed for 2 nights in an ensuite double. The bed was very comfortable but we had no hot water for 2 days and no one would come and check it. We had to shower in the communal showers and the floor mat in there was so mouldy and it stank. The wifi wouldn’t work in our room so we’d have to go and sit on the stairs in the hall to use it. The restaurant is fine and always busy. Food and service were average. The location to the start of the walks is excellent though and an easy walk along the Main Street to other restaurants and bars. The bar attached is excellent though and their happy hour prices were super cheap.

Bathroom was nice and compact but no hot water for entire stay

Otimo hostel! Recomendo
Foi o melhor hostel que fiquei na Argentina. 2 cozinhas limpas e equipadas, 2 banheiros ao estilo vestiário com 4 chuveiros e 3 vasos sanitários cada. Ótimo atendimento. Restaurante/bar com otimo custo/beneficio. Quartos bem limpos. A limpeza é diaria. Unico ponto: não dava para desligar o aquecimento do quarto então tinha horas que ficava muito quente e ao abrir a janela tinha muito vento. E 1 chuveiro (ultimo box do banheiro de baixo) estava mudando a temperatura sozinho, então quase me queimei.
