Clean and better than average breakfast. I never had a problem but several locals and my cab driver told me not to walk the streets around the hostel at night. I just took a cab or stayed in. I felt safe though.

I enjoyed my stay here for 2 nights, an easy going place to be with nice rooms, heaters and lots of bathrooms/toilets.

Take the free Tango lessons if you´re here and head out for the party afterwards. The staff is very helpful and the hostel was always clean.

I stayed here for a few days and it was impressed enough to stay there again when I came back through Bs As. I'll stay there again when I'm back later this year. Gracias por todo!

Excellent hostel with very helpful staff. A ten minute walk to the greatest parts of San Telmo. Beds comfy. Colourful rooms. Highly recommended. We stayed here twice. Bathrooms could be a little cleaner. We can recommend Desnivel for steaks. We went there 4 times in 7 nights. Excellent.

Fantastic hostel!! Small which means you get to know everyone in the hostel quite well. Staff are fantastic, super nice and helpful and they even make the effort to get to know everyone´s name. Definitely recommed the free tango lessons and the visit to Milonga! Very central to San Telmo

We had great fun staying in Sandanzas with the best staff in the world. Special thanks to Pablo and Tomas for making our stay in Argentina even more better than we expected.

Extremely friendly staff with a genuine interest in making your stay in Buenos Aires a memorable one. Many events and activities available for you to take part in. A good place to stay and meet others if you're travelling alone.

This hostel is located in San Telmo so make sure you stay here on a Sunday! The breakfast area is nice and there are free tango lessons a few days per week. The only small problem we had was when we booked a ride to the airport the price was fixed at 75 pesos but the driver demanded 95 pesos....

This is one of the best hostels ive stayed in. The staff have been excellent. They helped us plan and get to Iguazu Falls, sort out our accomodation there and also given us so many great tips for around the city. I would highly recomend this hostel!

Very friendly staff. If travelers meet in the patio you might be annoyed by the noise they make because the rooms are just next to it. But there is no street noise even though it is very central located in San Telmo.

Definitely one of my best hostels ever. Very nice and helpful staff, especially Irene! Location is in principle very fine (at the southern edge of the nice San Telmo neibourhood), but going home alone at night could be a little bit frightening. Anyway, nothing bad happened to me and I will come...

An excellent hostel in a great location. 5 minutes walk from the funky San Telmo and 20 minutes walk from the tube and main shopping area. Great staff and a chilled atmosphere. One of the best hostels we have stayed in through out South America. Highly recommended.

I did not like the location of this hostel. It was only two blocks away from La Boca which is a place one should avoid. However, the staff was pleasant and my room was clean. It's a long walk to Independicia subte station, opt for San Juan instead.
