Periko's Youth Hostelvs?

"Best of the youth-hostel-type accommodation, this excellent, well-built and well-run place is loaded with information about trips. Its travel agency arm, Overland Patagonia, is next door."

"A real mountain lodge feel... the common area is a real winner - comfortably set up in the centre of the hostel, it's a great place to meet other travelers and swap tales from the road." Full review
