The staff was incredibly friendly, the room was gorgeous, breakfast was lovely. In all the experience was great!
Perfect location in Chalten with great views of adjacent barrancos. Modern renovated architecture despite being one of the first lodges in town. Highly recommend
We were there for hiking and El Puma was new and clean, has great and very nice staff that all speak good English, and breakfast was fabulous. Highly recommend
The location was great and the vibe was mountain chic, with comfy common areas and even heated floors in our room. We were only there for one night, so can’t really say much more. It’s a very tourist/trekker friendly town, so prices are higher and this hostel followed suit. For a short stay, it was lovely but pricey.
This property is off the chart. Huge comfortable super well appointed room. Outstanding oversized king bed. Excellent continental breakfast with eggs on request. Fine dining restaurant in the hotel for evening meal options. insider tip get the trout (trucha). This place is so far above the star ratings. Just book it.
We had a lovely stay at this hotel. The staff are super friendly, efficient and very helpful. The bed was very comfortable and the room was clean. The buffet breakfast was vey good and had made to order eggs. We had dinner in the restaurant twice and enjoyed it both times.
We would definitely stay here again.
The rooms were clean and comfortable and the food was great as well. We particularly loved the staff who was so friendly and helpful. Would definitely stay again!
A great place to stay in a vibrant hiker community- for those who want to stay in style. Great rooms, great restaurant, great breakfast and a great fireplace that is truly inviting
El Puma was an excellent stay for our adventures around El Chalten. The room was comfortable, food was delicious, and staff were kind and helpful. Highly recommend!
Small boutique hotel with polite staff. Breakfast was made to order scrambled eggs, but had buffet style deli cold cuts and cheese, fresh fruits, assorted pastries and bread. Hotel is walking distance from Main Street and the starting points of several of the main hikes. Only flaw there’s no central AC unit so the room gets warm
