“Problems with reservation system, private rooms aren't good value, nice public areas.”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 February 2011

person found this review helpful

I tried two book two nights via the website having read a good review in a guide book. As I didn't have a paypal account, I couldn't pay the deposit on line so I called them to sort it out and, in fairness, they did say that the reservation was confirmed.

It was hard to find the place when I arrived in a taxi as the address given to me by V & S hostel club wasn't correct (it was the right street and the right block, but the wrong number).

The public areas of the hostel were fine and there was free wifi which was useful.

I was just disappointed with the room given that I was paying US$70 a night. It was small, the curtains weren't that good at blocking out light and the air conditioning was controlled by the receptionist (seriously). The bathroom was functional and of a reasonable size. The towels provided were off white and one had a stain on it.
The breakfast was ok, but I did find the sign asking you to wash up your dishes after yourself quite amusing/annoying given the cost of the room.
I just expected better given that I was paying US$70 a night to stay there.
I checked out the next morning and moved to a hotel.

If you're going to stay in a shared dorm and pay between US$13-US$20 a night, then the hostel is fine, but it's not worth paying for a private room there which isn't that great.

“This is a good hostel, nice location etc.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 February 2011

Ok, so I thought this was a good hostel. Freshly arrived from London, it was located right in the centre of the city, but was quiet and there was lots of common space for people to use. The bathrooms were clean and the water hot, although the weather was too so the cold water was a nice relief! The room had 4 beds, whcih I think was enough. The internert is cheap and has a good connection. There are lockers at reception which works ok, I was a bit reluctant at first but it was fine and felt safe.
I think BA is a typical city, I was sprayed twice (people spray you then try to disctract you and steal your bag etc) which was unnerving to say the least but again that wasn¨t in the hostel. The hostel has a good kitchen and a normal travellers breakfast. They organise activities some evenings if you want to take part. Otherwise there is a nice tarrace area to sit and read, plus a large tv with dvds etc.

“Don't worry! It's normal ho(s)tel!”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 November 2010

I can't understand people who wrote such bad reviews! I spent there four nights and I'd been very nervous when I'd read reviews from this page, and now I want to say that you don't have to worry, if you are normal person who understand that for this prize it can't look like Ritz.
Firstly, it has a great location- few minutes to station and it's nice, quiet district with a lot of embassies and good looking buildings. When we talk about hostel, it has two fault- cleaness (walls and windows are dirty, but sheets are clean) and futurniture ( my room had only three beds, basin and fridge- no wardrobe, with I found annoying).
Secondly, breakfast are good! It included toasts, jam, cereal, coffee or tea and if you want you can be full till afternoon, but you could found it a litlle bit humdrum.
It was my first time in hostel, because prize at London are really high, but I can recommended this hostel to adult, normal people who will sightseeing all day and expect cheap place for sleep, quick shower and non-sophisticated breakfast and who will turn a blind eye for few things and enjoy cheap prize. Anybody who prefer not to move his room to study cleaness of walls or to those who are allergic I advise to cancel his booking and run away.

“Excellent Hostel - Great Location”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 October 2010

This hostel is truly excellent, and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a great hostel in a centralized location. The staff are helpful and friendly and offer a great many services and recommendations. My friend and I returned to Buenos Aires after our tour throughout Argentina and we simply had to stay here again. Hightly recommended!
