    I would really like to recommend this place because we spent a great Christmas there... but over christmas our friend and another guy had money and and a camera stolen from the dorms. The dorm room didn't close properly and the lockers were insufficient. It was an awesome old building though... more

    Had a quiet single room, slept like a dead horse after 14 hours flying from Paris and no sleep. Beautiful building, very bright and airy. Room was small but had everything. Standard breakfast. Good internet access. Matheus was very helpful (and patient with my terrible Espanol).

    My single room was utterly atrotious. The worst room I have stayed in over many years, slighly larger than the single bed, mozzie ridden and so stuffy with a hole for a window. That aside, the dorms are a better bet. The place is just lovely and stunning, but don´t book a single room... more

    My twin private room was four feet wide and 10 feet long, no joke, with a low ceiling. It was like a prison cell and a tiny window so very hot and stifling. Only one room had air conditioning, even though mentioned it had airconditioning.

    A nice hostel located in the heart of San Telmo, which is less expensive than Palermo and has more character. The rooms are good, beds comfortable, the hostel is quiet and very secure. The place could be a little cleaner, but that is a minor complaint. We would stay here again.

    Lovely characterful building. Staff very friendly. Showers reflect age of building but plenty of hot water. Well located for San Telmo area. Great common room and good breakfast. Very slow internet but it is free. Would gladly go back again.

    This is a very well run hostel but it is not a "party place". It seems to appeal to a somewhat older crowd. It has a very attractive public room and stairway.
