4 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 April 2013

We enjoyed our time here and got talking to lots of other travellers. We had a shared bathroom which didnt look up to much, but had a good powerful shower. The breakfast was nice enough and the staff were helpful, so our stay was enjoyable.

Dark rooms and fairly dirty bathrooms. One staff member was really helpful and the rest below average. Two big dislikes: 1)breakfast seems to end whenever it suits the girl who does it feels like and 2)no alchohol is allowed from outside, which is fine, except that the bar in the hostel was hardly ever open so it was impossible to...

I stayed at this hostel in February 2013. All in all i can say the hostel is alright. Our room was not dirty or messy but unfortunately very loud. The bathrooms were pretty old and not too clean, but okay. The choice of breakfast was really small. I was told that the part of the city the hostel is located... More

The staff was very helpful by providing recommendations and a lay of the land. The events planned by the hostel encourage regular and easy interaction with other travelers. The kitchen is a bit spartan but the wifi is good.

Bedroom was good as it was nice and cool and semi private (even in a dorm). Breakfast was standard, but hey it's free. Good wifi and the staff was so helpful in giving us places to see and restaurants to visit. Gave us a great recommendation on a tango show to see (voz tango). Bathrooms were a little dirty, but...

Not recommended - we were seduced by the cheap price, but you're definitely getting what you pay for! The Salta 990 building is a bit of a bunker - very little ventilation, so in summer the rooms are hot and stifling. The bathrooms are pretty shabby (showers are ok though). There is a roof terrace, but the view is just... More

Dorms are in a concrete warehouse with no windows or proper ventilation. The breakfast/bar is in a basement- again no windows and smoking is allowed so it is stuffy and dark. Kitchen is small and lacks supplies. Only 1 toilet in the dorm sleeping area. The area of town is a dump. On the plus side, the employees were friendly... More

I stayed at Pax Hostel on 3 separate visits totalling about 2 months there. It's not the best looking place I've stayed but it is excellent value for money. I stayed in a mixed 6 bed dorm. The bed was comfortable with a nice big locker and curtains to shut out the light. Breakfast was good and available all morning,... More

I stayed for three weeks while in BA and found it a good central location and a great place to meet people. The staff are super-friendly, they organise lots of evening events at the hostel, you can book trips from there and I made some great friends. I used the bikes they loan out on several occasions, which was a... More

Pax is hands down the best value for your money. They have a great atmosphere and they offer more amenities and services then any other hostel I have stayed at. But what really sets this hostel apart from all the others is the staff. They really go out of their way to make your stay great. Five star service at... More
