We had booked our reservation for Casa Jardin and were told that it was in a new location. The location is not "new" for Casa Jardin but is instead an existing hostel called "Old Friends" (http://www.oldfriends.com.ar/). The people are nice at Old Friends but it is not the same as Casa Jardin. People tend to stay for an extended time at Old Friends so it is pretty quiet. They don't clean much and breakfast is corn flakes and milk if they have it. Just know that if you try and book with Casa Jardin you will be sent to this place without an explanation that it is a different hostel.

Casa Jardin was my home from home whilst learning Spanish for a couple of months in Buenos Aires. I had intended to rent an apartment for most of my stay in the city but enjoyed it so much that stayed put for the extra month. It is a beautiful old style home well located in Palermo and Ariel who manages the house goes out of his way to make everyone feel welcome. Forget the Cabrera, Ariel's Asados are worth the wait and his cooking skills are legendary!

As a female solo traveller, Casa Jardin was everything I could have needed and more! From the friendly, welcoming, and super-helpful staff to the comfortable beds to the excellent location (Palermo SoHo), Casa Jardin has it all! It's not a noisy or crazy hostel, but if you're travelling alone or want a good night's rest, then it's really one of the best deals in town! The only downside: no AC, but they have fans and it's actually quite comfortable.

I have traveled for many years around the world and never have I stayed in such a wonderful place with so much character and comfort. The owners and staff are incredible and so helpful for people new to Buenos Aires. Its a family owned place, so you really feel that when you walk in there. There is a warm, loving energy to it and a place I will always go back too. The hostel itself is inside a beautiful turn of the century building with the character of old buenos aires. Another amazing thing about this place are the people who stay there- its filled with great people! Artists, young travelers, old travelers and its not a loud party hostel kind of place instead its the sort of place that you can relax and just enjoy being there.
