This was a cute little lodge-type hotel. Staff was really friendly and breakfast was very good. I loved the decor in the common area and the cabin feel of the place. Room was a little cramped (especially the shower) but it was great for what we needed for one night.

Our favorite hostel

We stayed at several hostels during our Patagonia trip and this was our favorite. It is really more like a B&B. Family run, very welcoming. We really enjoyed the breakfast and courtyard!

The staff were kind and helpful. The breakfast was very good. Yummy eggs and toast. And the coffee was perfect. The whole place is very quaint. I sat in the garden and watched birds. Also the bees pollinating all of the beautiful flowers. It’s a mini botanical garden. It’s close to the bus terminal, a 10-15 minute walk (uphill). It wasn’t a bad walk to town for dinner either.
The view from the Rukahue is amazing. Mountains, lake and even a beautiful sunset.

Excellent place with very friendly hosts

Fantastic stay at Hosteria Rukahue. A clean, comfortable and very friendly place run by hosts who cannot do enough for their guests. It's about 15 minutes to walk to the main street (and uphill on the way back). Would definitely recommend this place.

We were only there for two nights, but found it to have many thoughtful touches and a cosy space. It's quite a walk to the restaurants and bars though, so would recommend having a car.
