Hosteria Vertical Lodge

Very comfortable and clean. It's more modern than I expected. Bed was perfect...firm just the way I like it. I had a direct view of Fitz Roy from my window! No TV or hairdryer in the room. Shower was one of the best I've ever had in all my travels in terms of cleanliness, pressure and water temperature! There is a safety box inside the room. Reception was terrific. Francisco and Manuella were sweet. Breakfast was not very appealing for me but that didn't make much of an impact for me. You can leave luggage at the hotel after checkout if needed free of charge. Within walking distance to bus terminal. Restaurants are fantastic in El Chalten. La Tapera, LA Esquina Cafe and La Cerveceria. Check out is PROMPTLY at 10am!!

All has been great! We spent there four nights and we have been very very happy: we slept in a super room and the Hosteria has a great location close to the main trails and to the bus terminal. Beautiful staff (Manuelita number one) and super breakfast :)

The lodge staff was very kind and responsive. The lodge itself is OK. The rooms are big, but noisy due to the flooring an a main hall that goes down to the main breakfast/lobby room and the door to the hall is left open a lot by guests and when the wind is blowing, which is a lot. The pillows are only a piece of foam rubber. The breakfast is ok, pre-packaged pastries and bread, canned fruit, maybe with some cut up fresh apple. The meats and cheeses were a nice option. My main complaint would be that the lodge does not offer any night meals, but they cater large groups that take up the lobby lounge space, are very loud, and guests are forced to their rooms waiting for the large groups to leave. The lodge is part of the "Patagonia Group", so I assume that the other hotels in the group offer a simple dinner to their patrons at the Vertical Lodge, but actual lodge guests don't get that option.

We stayed here for a couple of nights whilst on a G-Adventures tour of Patagonia. It’s well situated in the town not far from the shops and restaurants. It’s about 1km to the Mt Fitzroy look out trail. Our room had a double and single bed and was quite spacious. Bathroom was fine too. There is a large area next to reception to sit before or after walks although the Wi-Fi was poor to non-existent. Breakfast was basic but fine for us to start a hiking day. Packed lunches which you order the day before were really good value.
