The entire hostel was stifling hot as we were here in the beginning of summer. It would not be anywhere near as bad if they installed a couple of fans in the common area and then put some fans in the rooms as well. Other than that the hostel itself is great.

Var her sammen med to ande jenter og vi falt for både hostellet og byen. hostellet ligger i smørøyet av alt som er verdt å få med seg. In the barbeque we got to taste and experiance what is a argentinian lifestile.

Reservamos um quarto com banheiro privativo e quando chegamos lá não tinham vaga neste quarto, nos deram um quarto horroroso (feio e sujo) e nem ao menos pediram desculpas e disseram que não podiam fazer nada. Pedimos pra pagar o preço do quarto sem banho e eles sequer se dignaram a resolver e dar o desconto. O banheiro alaga e a água quente acaba. Não há horário de silêncio, o povo fica gritando, ouvindo música aos berros até de manhã.close
