This hostel in Bariloche is very cool. Stayed here 5 nights and loved it. It's quite small but it is has great staff who are very friendly and helpful. The rooms are all named after famous rock bands/artists. I was in the Jimi Hendrix room complete with purple drapes, duvet and walls. Very cool. Giant lockers for all your bags too. I have recommended this place already to people I have met whilst travelling and all have said they loved it too.

Achalay - we came to Achalay Hostel in Bariloche, a little disenchanted from the busy streets of Buenos Aires and tired of the busy life back home in Europe. We sought nature, mountains, lakes, open skies - space to let the mind wonder - and a place to meet people, to hear people's stories, their true stories...in Achalay we found it all - and, despite the cloudy skies, the storms that didn't allow us to wander far or wide for too long (we had a bad stretch of weather - generally it is not the case in Bariloche - I think we brought the rain ;-)) we stuck firmly to Achalay's wooden floors, stuck to the warmth of the open living room, the vibrant smells of the kitchen - every day a different smell - of freshly baked bread for the breakfast of the coming day, Angelo's carrot cake, Romina's Argentinian pasta, Pablo's Asado (which made true meat lovers cry)...all who wanted we're a part of the concoction, the cooking, eating, cleaning - the laughter, the singing, the dancing - the warmth of the hostel staff - Pablo, Angelo, Noemie, Maxime, Anais, Exe...no hostel I have been to can compare (and I have been to many) and of the travellers like us who found their way there - and stuck too to it's family warmth made Achalay very, very hard to leave. We are very happy to have discovered it and anxious to get back as soon as we can...

Won't take too much rating the generals because they have it all covered and there might be many reviews speaking about them (location, cleaning, utilities all.... good, very good!)

I would like to say what is different about this hostel and why I can consider it to be one of my top experiences regarding hostels. It is all about the approach or vision under which the owners run it and about putting their heart into it .

This approach I am talking about is doing their best to make every person feel at home while being away from it and included as part of that home no matter if you are staying a long period or just for a couple of days...

There is a a fragment of Imagine(Lenon's song) written on the wall in the common hall : Imagine there's no countries, it isn't hard to do (...) Imagine all the people, living life in peace"... And you know what, I will remember forever this moment...Sharing this "asado" which Pablo (owner) organized for the guests being surrounded by Argentinians, Israelis, French, Mexicans, Canadians, Americans, meat lovers, vegetarians (yeah I am one and they prepared a special meal for my "asado")... reading those words on the wall and not just imagining but experiencing for a slight moment "There were no countries and living life in peace.."

An additional thing, the concept,which is builded around music.. Rooms have no numbers, they are named after musicians Hendrix, Bob Marley, Rolling Stones and you breathe music out of that place...

So you may say I'm a dreamer, but I am not the only one
I hope some day you join Hostel Achalay
And experience the world to be as one...

The hostel is well priced, with comfy beds and a great communal area. The best thing about it for me were the staff. The staff themselves are mainly people travelling and are really helpful with things to do in Bariloche but also in the rest of Argentina. Me and my mates had a great time hanging out with the staff and having a few drinks with them. The whole vibe of the hostel is really friendly and it attracts some cool people to work and to stay.

This hostel was a great place to stay. The boys who work here are awesome, full of knowledge and always willing to help. Great location, safe, comfortable.
Breakfast very good, it's served until late which is great!!!
They also put on dinner every few nights which is tasty and cheap.
Could do with a couple of new shower heads though.
This place has a very homely feel, comfortable beds and a good kitchen. I highly recommend staying here.
