Tried to charge us more than hostel world quoted and it also took an age to check in. Our room was spacious and clean but on the third floor with no lift (broken). Locations good for the downtown however due to this the traffic noise the morning was loud. Breakfast was very good and there is...

This is a great hostel, good balance between relaxation and partying! The week day staff were excellent, the weekend staff had a bad attutude, where everything was to much trouble.

Was a good, cheap bed for the night. However rooms and bathrooms were very hot. Not a party hostel. Breakfast was good.

Great location for a hostel, it is just blocks away from Corrientes! They had pool tables and there was a lot to do there. The bathroom did flood, so it was incovienent to go up a fliht of stairs to go to the bathroom.

Friendly, fun hostel pretty centrally located. It is however on a darkish road which although noisy from the traffic didn´t seem completely safe. No hot water on the two days when we were there.

Not really the hostel´s fault but I have never come across so many anti-social people who seemed to spend their entire time on their laptops.

Can´t really see the point in travelling if all you are going to do is search google but each to their own. Maybe if the hostel took away the free Wi-Fi then the computer nerds would leave and free up some beds for people who like to at least to talk to other human beings.close

Its a good hostel. The room's are a little noisy because of the street, but they are confortable. The Staff were nice, but they didn't fix the problem with the light in our bedroom. A good point: the breakfast goes to 12:00..

The hostel is amazing, the location, the people, everything. As always in Argentina, the staff question depends on the particular person - some are incredibly nice, others seem like they wish you didn´t exist.

Breakfast till midday is a HUGE plus. And you will need it, the dorm I was in didnt have a window so it was dark all day, as well as very stuffy and hot, so you will very likely oversleep!

The hostel is ni a nice part of the twon in the center, where it's quiet. Not really a place to party, but certainly a place to meet great people and a helpful staff to asist you in figuring out your time in Buenos Aires.

We were looking for somewhere quiet so the low score on fun was what we wanted. they do have a bar, snooker table and a TV so that was as much fun as we wantedclose

The staff was really nice and helpful. The hostel was very clean and it had a nice feel to it. I also felt that it was accurately represented on the website. The only issue I had was the noise outside late at night.
