wi-fi

kitchen

Three of us stayed at Kospi for 4 nights. Our first frustration was the terrible wifi access. The wifi is slow everywhere in town however it took us 2 days to even be able to connect to the wifi at Kospi. The bathrooms are gross and are not cleaner regularly. You can only use the kitchen between 6pm and 10pm. Beds are fairly comfortable however I wouldn't stay here again due to the reasons mentioned above. 

Filthy bathrooms, limited kitchen access & terrible wifi

El Chalten is one of my favorite places on earth. I booked Kospi Bed and Breakfast originally for 3 nights and I ended up staying for 6 nights. Its about 10 minute walk from the bus station. Kospi is in a great location to wake up early and hit the trails. You have access to the waterfall, Fitz Roy, Cerro Torre and so much more. 

I booked a bed in a 4 person dorm. They offer free breakfast, WiFi, hot showers, and there is a kitchen, but you can only use the kitchen from a certain time window at night. I wouldn’t rely on WiFi working not only in Kospi but anywhere in the town in general. It’s so remote and you’re in a national park service is hard to come by. My SIM card didn’t even work. WIth that said there was a couple ample opportunities to use the WiFi and it is possible, but you need to be in the “common area.” 

The bed and breakfast was clean, the staff were friendly and helpful. They helped me book transportation and gave me information on trails. There is so much to do in El Chalten and it so beautiful. I could’ve stayed longer. Minus the kitchen hours and lack of WiFi, I would recommend kospi bed and breakfast.

Ideal Location

Kospi is an awesome little Hostel / B&B, with super friendly staff, absolutely perfect cleanliness and a lovely breakfast with home baked (!) fresh bread every day! All hiking trails are in walking distance, and the climbing wall is literally behind the house! Can only recommend!

Great for a stay in El Chalten

We booked a night here on the recommendation of our other hotel when we wanted to stay an additional night in El Chalten. 

The room is generally comfortable and bright, though the shower wasn't very good and we couldn't turn down the heat making the room much too warm. Breakfast as basic but incredibly busy and hard to access because there were so many people.

After paying the deposit our original hotel had a cancellation so we asked Kospi if we could cancel and get our deposit back, which they were completely unwilling to do. While understandable, it's not very good customer service. We've been able to cancel other hotels at the last minute without any penalty. In a place as busy as El Chalten in high season, they would likely fill up even with our cancellation.

Internet didn't work in the room, and even in the lounge where it's supposed to work there are so many people it's nearly impossible to get online.

Additionally, check out time is at 10am and you're not allowed to stay in their lobby after check out. This means if you're going to Bariloche, you have to fill up 12 hours until you can get on the bus. This would be fine, but they also don't allow you to shower after you've checked out, so you can't go hiking (unless you want to get on the bus sweaty and be rude to fellow passengers). This might be common practice, but it was allowed in our other hostel so not all of them do this. The luggage area is just an open area on the way to all the rooms, so it's not particularly safe or protected.

This is a fine place to stay if you don't have any other choice, but we don't recommend it.

Overpriced and unhelpful

This hostel is in a great location for all the treks in El Chalten.  Once you get into the town its about a 10 minutes walk from the bus station, which puts you right in the 'gateway' for both Fitz Roy and Laguna Torres treks.  
The family are fantastic and made us feel at home straight away.  This is a really clean well run hostel that will cater to your every need after a long days trek.  Great touches for the hostel include having your beds made and a great light breakfast of cereal, toast orange juice coffee and yogurt.  The kitchen can be used for evening meals from 1900, with food purchased from the supermarkets that are 5 minutes away.  If you are after an evening meal there's a range of eateries nearby.
