“Fine if you're a smoker”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 October 2011
2
people found this review helpful

We stayed here for 1 night and slept for only three hours. Its a shame that we have so much bad to say... the building is a beautiful old colonial style building and the location is good I guess.
We had a choice of an 8 bed dorm or private room, stayed in a private room and I am glad we did, the dorm smelt really musky and was just horrible. As we checked in we were told there would be no water from the hours of 12 a.m to 6 a.m, which wasn't helpful as we had a flight to catch at 6 the next morning. The shower area looked small and the lighting is bad but the shower has a toilet in the same room and you can close the door for privacy.
The hostel is not very clean although staff were friendly.
The computers are so old and slow too.

We were out of the hostel all day, when we returned we were welcomed to smoke filled reception and it was disgusting, noisey and dirty. Really there are cheaper and better hostel in BA to stay in. I think if you're young and a lone traveller you may not mind this hostel so much as there were a bunch of people whom seeemd to be having fun chatting, smoking, listening to loud music.....

Room Tip: you can book a taxi service from the hostel to the airport for a set price

“central, spacious, super friendly and helpful staff”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 December 2010

very friendly service at this central hostel. A little scruffy, but that is part of its charm. Bathrooms a bit scruffy but OK, decentish breakfast of media lunas, cornflakes and slightly out of date apples and oranges, free internet and wifi, very helpful staff and in-house travel agency and help book onwards travel etc free of commission charges. We arrived at 3am due to a very delayed flight, and were given free G&T on arrival which was much appreciated!

“Dirty”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 December 2010

Smoke permeated the rooms. The place was filthy..trash all over the bedroom. Disorganised staff. Staff members gave us attitude.

“Everything you need”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 August 2010

Our first impression was a bit shocked with the interior but you must remember its not a hotel its a hostel so it is tired looking but i was over that within the day. It is so central, the staff are so helpful and friendly you can even practice your Spanish on them! Marie, Lorena and Alex were all so good. you can book everything there with good advise. They will tell you the bus you need to get anywhere and make sure you have the correct change, I cant say enough how helpful they are. There is a bar there but it would probably be better if there wasnt because then you could buy cheaper across the road in the supermarket and drink there because the prices are bar prices i think although they do have specials on different nights. But you meet good people, party people and quiet people. its all good!! When looking for the door though keep looking up, its on a first floor so you buzz a door with the name on it. We got a hotel transfer 50 pesos each a taxi would be 128 pesos (100 for the ride and 28 on tolls)
we would stay here again!!!
