I stayed here because it had quite good reviews and I was able to book it in advance. The value is okay because it was quit cheap, but don't come if you are expecting fast service or clean bathrooms. The location is great, you can walk most places and it is on the subway. There are two kitchens that you... More

We arrived in BA after a long flight and had reserved this hostal. When we were dropped off at the address there was no sign out front. The door is locked and you have to get buzzed in. A man exiting told us the hostal was on the first floor. We rang and rang but no one ever answered. We... More

I stayed here twice in June+July 2011. Both times I found the staff extemely helpful (with maps, directions, things to do+see in B.A), rooms were clean and great morning coffee! The owner is friendly and all the staff go out of their way to make you feel at home, although some can't speak English too well. A big thank-you to... More

After read the review on internet, we though Rayuela Hostel offer decent place to sleep. Turn out is a big disappointment. DISASTER#1 upon on our arrival, staff informed us our room has over-booked. They offered us 8 beds dorm for the first night, free of charge; then we can have 2nd and 3rd night our 3 beds private room. Which... More

I booked this hostel after reading a load of great reviews on Hostel Bookers and I am 100% glad that i chose Rayuela. The hostel made my time in Buenos Aires unfortgettable and this is why. The hostel is like an apartment on 2 levels. Each level has a huge kitchen-dining, and a louge room. In the downstairs there is... More

The staff were more than helpful with regards to anything we needed and they made our stay really pleasant. Leandro who worked there made our day each... More

During our South America trip we stayed three times in Buenos Aires. Every time we slept in different hostels. Rayuela was by far the best one of the three. The atmosphere is relaxed, they have the usual hostel facilities, the staff is very friendly and helpful, and the place is cleaned every day. It also has a great location, it... More

We were expecting something a bit special from this hostel, as it gets rave reviews from other travellers. However, we found the atmosphere a bit uncomfortable, and although the common areas are nicely decorated (for example the nice big kitchen), we never felt comfortable using them as the staff's friends were always hanging around and were not that friendly. Christian... More

After trying 5 different Hostels in B.A & being disappointed by all of them I arrived at Rayuela sceptical, I was WRONG!!!
