This is a great hostel for anyone travelling on a semi-budget with a very cool roof-top bar. The staff are incredibly helpful and will help book you onto pretty much anything there is to in Argentina. The double rooms are small, basic but comfortable. It's also not too noisy which is a big bonus if you're a light sleeper like... More

This hostel is a huge place to meet very nice people. The prices are average as of the ones in the area, but lower than the big hostels in the city. I would definitely go back to this hostel. To me is basically about the service and the opportunity to meet other nice travellers. This place has them both, Also... More

I stayed here in September, and overall had a good experience. We had to switch rooms during our stay, and I ended up leaving an alarm clock in the room, when I went to ask if it had turned up in the room (less than a couple of hours) they haven't found anything. Asked a couple more times during my... More

During our stay we stayed in both a double room and a dorm. One was located close to the outside sitting area, one to bar area. This said, most of the rooms are close to either on of the two which can make it quite noisy up to about 1AM, after which things settle down. Staff was friendly, though a... More

The staff are all really friendly and helpful and there's a lot going on to welcome you into Buenos Aires. The Asado (bbq) was delicious, a nice range of meats and they also catered... More

We stayed for the asado one night and it was a really good meal with lots of salad and delicious meats and... More
