“Remember The Alamo: Best in Mendoza; Tops in Argentina”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 February 2012

Spacious accommodations moderately priced from large garden ensuite rooms to those in main building, including dormitories with baths adjacent. Large double common room and dining/breakfast room over looking the garden with small pool and terrace seating adjacent garden rooms. Good kitchen facilities. Excellent Wifi connection with three servers available. The door is gated, controlled from reception, and can be accessed only by a bell. The manager Max is friendly, very helpful and speaks excellent English, the same being true of the other, female manager in attendance in reception. Both will happily arrange tours and answer all questions about Mendoza and Cuyo. The house cat "Mosca" charms everyone. There is an ATM on the near corner, a Carrefour supermercado in the same block, and the Italian Embassy is at the other corner across from Plaza Chile. Mendoza is a lovely cool oasis of parks, plazas and shade trees in the desert. this is my second trip to Mendoza in four years and my second stay at The Alamo. I would stay nowhere else in Mendoza. Easy booking available through usual hostel sites. You will enjoy your stay here, remembering fondly The Alamo

Room Tip: My choice is one of the garden rooms in the back

“It has it all.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 January 2012

This hostel has it all.
Our room (private double with ensuite bathroom) was *huge*, with a very confortable bed, beautiful tiled bathroom, A/C, high ceilings, lots of natural light, lots of storage space, etc.

The common areas are inviting and practical, the kitchen is well equipped, the breakfast is very nice, there is free wifi everywhere and the staff is incredibly friendly.

The beautiful garden and the small pool add a special touch that makes this place perfect.
I highly recommand it.

Tip: Ask the staff about the tours they can book for you. They know the best companies and will arrange the whole thing, with pick-up and drop-off at the hostel. They booked a wine tour for us and a trip to the thermal waters in the Andes. We paid directly to the front desk and everything went according to plan.

“chillin' by the pool”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 December 2011

there we were, stuck in Mendoza, but the people of this hostel made it bearable to stick around. Super friendly attentive staff, although we had the smallest room (still ok) and a miniature bathroom everything was ok! breakfast is basic Argentinian style.

“Very nice hostel, but pricey.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 December 2011

Good hostel with nice and relaxing "patio", but too expensive and not really close to bars or restaurants. I liked the atmosphere a lot and it was very clean. The breakfast is poor.
