Buddy and I booked a double room (La Cava). Forgot to research properly and book a room with 2 twins. Lao was super accommodating and just threw another twin mattress in there. Plenty of space in the room (had a small couch too) and the bathroom was spacious and clean. Only problem with the room was that it was right... More

Lao is an excellent choice if you are in Mendoza. It has an spotless reputation and it deserves it. This places grows on you, if you only stay for a few days it will just be another very well run and friendly hostal, but staying (and most cool people choose to prolong their stay) a little longer makes you realize...

Stayed for just one night but completely loved it!! Beautifully set around a garden and swimming pool it is just the perfect place to get some rest of traveling around. Rooms are really nice (we had a twin room at the back of the garden), bathrooms clean and in good condition. They serve a great breakfast (with media lunas and... More

This is a nice little hostel with great staff. They were friendly, and also helpful for planning activities, suggesting restaurants, etc. The hostel is comfortable, and the private rooms are small (as advertised), but completely adequate and clean. While we were there, there was a great atmosphere- lots of communal cooking and wine-drinking, although everyone was quiet and respectful late... More

Hola Chicos, we are really pleased you enjoyed your stay with us. I just wanted to add that we have 5 private rooms. 2 are the smaller rooms in the pool house where you stayed and 3 are much larger en suite rooms in the main house. So if you want a large private space we also cater for you,... More

This is the best hostel I have stayed at in terms of meeting great travellers. The hosts were friendly and very helpful with information on the area. We stayed in three different rooms because we kept extending our stay. I would recommend staying in one of the pool house doubles rather than the deluxe double. Even though the deluxe double... More

Nice spacious rooms (for a hostel), clean bathrooms, nice garden with a small pool and barbecue facilities. Good kitchen and dinning area. Staff are friendly and helpfull. Cold beer and water available. Tours organised by hostel for a reasonable price. Good place to go if you are on your own and want to make new friends.

One thing to say if you are visiting Mendoza, THIS is the place to stay! We stayed here for 5 days, and non of us wanted to leave. No matter if you are traveling alone or as a couple everybody feels welcome at hostel Lao. So thank you for all your help, service and friendliness to Romina & Francisco

I've just left Lao. Already thinking about coming back. It was a very nice experience. Staff is very gentle and helpful - Celeste, Mike and Mauricio are great hosts. Free wines in the evening is a great touch. Wednesdays Pasta is unmissable. Good place to meet good people. Very nice job guys: that's how you do it!
