I loved this hostel! I had stayed nearby in America del Sur and that place felt too starchy and very much like a hotel. Ostinatto has personality and class! The staff were very nice, the rooms were spacious and clean, they had lockers for bags, bathrooms were clean and new, and the kitchen was HUMONGOUS! I also became friends with... More

Really nice choice for staying in Buenos Aires - we stayed for a week, left for a trip to Uruguay and came back for another couple of nights. We stayed in both a private room and an 8-bed dorm. The private is a little pricey but worth it if you need a good night's sleep. I really recommend the 8-bed... More

Ostinatto is one of the best hostel around Chile, SanTelmo. Everybody has a smile on their faces, and it is priceless if you are in Buenos Aires. They serve good breakfast and clean everywhere. If you wanna attend extra tours and activities all around the city, they have a flexible schedule.

Well, it wasn't terrible nor was it great.... just average. To me it felt a bit more dormitoryish than I like to see. This is partly due to the building and how the noise bounces off the walls. The roof terrace was so-so with 3 chairs - 2 that you could sit in. Yes, the staff was nice and worked... More

Spent 6 nights at Ostinatto and it was a superb stay. Very clean, welcoming and helpful staff and centrally located. Some excellent restaurants nearby like, Del Plata and DesNivel...fabulous meals there and great service. Found both because of the staff at Ostinatto. We had a private room on the 4th floor with shared bath, although it was really a private... More

Ostinatto was my home away from home in Buenos Aires, I have very fond memories of it. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful, always greeting you with a big smile, the bar was always vibrant and fun (and so cheap!), I made friends with lots of people there, including travellers and staff. All the facilities you could ask for,... More

I stayed here for 3 days on a flying visit yo BA. I was a little worried that such a large hostel might be impersonal, but I couldn't be more wrong. Staff were friendly & helpful and the bar was fabulous, especially Johnny the resident bar man. I booked a private room, which turned out to be the penthouse, it... More

This is definitely the place to stay in Buenos Aires. The location is excellent, you are close to most places you want to visit . The building is really cool, we loved the architecture of the whole area, it feels like some parts of Paris. The guys at reception speak really good English and they were always very helpful. We...

Clean, bright, quiet, fun, fantastic staff, great location...what more do you need??? Bar on site with a relaxed fun vibe. Activities if you want them. Staff was always helpful and friendly. Rooms were quiet (except for street noise). In the heart of San Telmo, walkable to everything.
