I really like the Art Factory! The place is very beutifull with all the paitings on the wall! The location is also good, close to main roads, the subway and on sundays there is the San Telmo Market that you can´t loose. It is a perfect place to meet people, they have a bar and also a " terraço" where... more

We stayed at Art Factory Hostel for three days in January - at the height of the tourist season. For the cost I would have to say this place is a great deal. It is, however, a hostel - don't mistake it with a hotel. After reading that it was loud on other reviews I asked for a quieter room,... more

Unfortunately, I didn't actually make it to BA yet, but I was so impressed with the service from the Art Factory in the process of making arrangements to stay. They were very prompt to reply to my emails and were so easy to deal with when I had to cancel my reservation a couple days before my arrival - no... more

A really nice breakfast, the sunroof was my favorite, atmosphere is great, they organise a lot ( food and entertainment!) also youre bustickets, and the best: you can wait in the hostel if you have to catch youre bus really late. I was here before and i returned because it was great! more

Great place, in San Telmo (an old center of Buenos Aires-wonderful, very authentic artistic quarter). The hostel is clean and comfortable. All kind of activities are offered for making the time spent in Buenos Aires as good as possible. Very friendly crew. Excellent price for the service. more

It's a great place, a beautiful old house completely painted and decorated by young artists, every room is different. Great roof terrace as well. The first time we were a bit disappointed with... more

After reading great reviews of Arts Factory, we had high hopes, but we were quite disppointed in the quality of the room we got and the breakfast. We paid top dollar for a private room with bathroom, and it was dank, damp and stank of must. The whole place is kind of funky, but quite run down too. Unfortunately the... more

I stayed in Buenos Aires for a month & a half tried 3 different hostels in Palermo first but was not my kind, i didn't feel on the right place...BUT when I climbed the steps of the Art Factory and met the staff was a really great surprise, everybody work there with friendly attitude and close like a family... of... more

The pros: knowledgeable, friendly English-speaking staff; a healthy breakfast; rooms have lots of character; close to a small supermarket and metro stops; within walking distance of many attractions; nice terrace; free internet and wi-fi Cons: the noise! Walls are too thin and the fact that this is a party hostel means that you won't sleep; bathrooms on the first floor... more
