“The BEST place in Buenos Aires”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 March 2011

After trying 5 different Hostels in B.A & being disappointed by all of them I arrived at Rayuela sceptical, I was WRONG!!! I only intended to stay at Rayuela Hostel for 4 days but ended up staying 3 weeks!!! I love this place to pieces and I'll share with you as to why! I have been backpacking for 2 years so I am no stranger to Hostels. I know what a good hostel should have & these guys have it in abundance! After spending 3 months in Argentina & Patagonia this was the friendliest place I have ever stayed. The staff are incredible, full of great advice & will give free hugs which for a solo traveller is an added bonus! They treat you like a dear friend, even when you 1st arrive. Cristian & Leon are the best!!! There are 2 fully equipped kitchens, 2 tv rooms with a good array of movies if you want to stay in for the night! The dorms are not cramped & have air conditioning. Did I mention they also give great hugs!!!
The hostel is located in a perfect position, close to everything including public transport & the San Telmo area which has a fantastic fresh fruit & vegetable market. (Hard to find everywhere else in Bs As). Give these guys a go, you wont be disappointed.

“excellency over all”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 August 2010

I Stayed for 2 days in Rayuela Hostel with my girlfriend on a maratonic trip to Buenos Aires and we certainlly could not be happier with the things that we found in there. Excelente. The rooms, the acommodations, the common area, a very nice kitchen. Computers for the use of interned and Wifi, lockers, board games, a very large colection of movies, a very nice familiar breakfast evyromorning with fruits, cereal, milk, and homemadre crossant. But the most appealing thing about this places its the staff. Christian being the owner its alsawe the person that run the place with his friends. Probaly the best way to describe the way in wich they treat you its familly alike. tHEY MAKE ABSOLUTLY EVRYTHING AND I MEAN EVRYTHING TO MAKE YOU STAY IN THERE AN INREDIBLE EXPERIENCE. they help you to go thrwo buenis ares, give you advice about evry single corner of the city and they just use evry single tool on their power to give you the best possibel aid. The influense of the staff over the mood on the hostel its so great, that there is a sens of "comuniity" created almos instanly in all the persons that are staying in there, having always beig meals with evry person that its staying there and with the staff, sharing storys, drinking a glass of the excelent wine that christina has in his colecttion, lisening to him to play the guitar(he is a musician too), and absolut trust between the staaf an the guest.
If you are going to buenos aires i strongly recommend to stay in this place, its by far the best hostel in wich i evere stayed in my life. Most of the guest plan to stay maybe a few days and end uipt wanting to stay for weeks, always getting a bitter sweet feeling on the moment of cheking out..Thanks christina and thanks to evyrone on Rayuela hostel..we will be there next time.
