We stayed 2 times there. Staff were knowledgeable with excellent services. Free guided local tours and tango lessons was available! Breakfast was adequately supplied and We stayed in room with private bathroom and cleanliness was well maintained. Wifi only available in public areas and if it can be extended within room ll be even better

Great hostel to stay in BA.Rooms are very clean and are like a travellodge that you would find in the UK.the communal areas are nice and airy and there's a good atmosphere.the kitchen is small. breakfast is good for Argentina. bit disappointed with prices of tour. we got over charged for the football tickets by accident which we had to bring to the attention of the staff. and we paid more for the tango show than other people we met at the show. Other than that, great hostel.

It's my second time in this hostel and I like it a lot! Just one comment about security: there's only 1 key per room. It'd be better if each guest had his own key or security card.

Everyone at the front desk was super-friendly. We always felt like we were amongst friends there. Facilities were a great value and the location was perfect.

The best hostel I've been at in 3 month traveling in Argentina and Chile! Great building, everything feels new and pretty, very good common area including sofas, eating tables, kitchen, outside patio, tv room, computers. Wifi pretty decent all around. Very good breakfast on the Argentinian scale (several types of cereal, hot and cold milk, yogurt, juice, coffee, tea, good bread and a toaster, butter, jam, dulce de leche and 2 cakes!). Staff is very helpful in both Spanish and English.

I loved it here; bright, spacious, comfortable common area that makes it easy to chat other travellers. The rooms are cosy and kept perfectly clean. The buffet breakfast is great :) The staff are fantastic; welcoming, helpful and friendly. I stayed in three hostels in buenos aires; this was my favourite by a long shot! Super place...plenty of opportunity to chill out after a night out or meet some fellow travellers to explore the city with.

Good place to stay. Walking distance to a lot of things and not far from the subway. Super friendly staff. The dorms are very clean and tidy.

Pros: Location, free wine, Secure. Cons: Sometimes you wait 3 minutes waiting at the front door, drunk people yelling in the little patio don't let you sleep, the floor is crunchy, the pillows are flat, the bathrooms are weird (you have to walk from one wall to another when taking a bath just to get to your clothes and stuff and the soap they put for hand wash is like koolaid). There are very few wall socket's to plug your chargers and they don't charge because the volts are too low.

Very nice, very clean hostel, but personally I find it a bit too big and anonymous. I had the impression that people aren't there to socialize and the facilities also don't particularly encourage it. That being said, the staff is very well trained and goes out of their way to help you. Great if you're only in the city for 1-2 days and want to get a good night's sleep.

Great staff and general facilities (excluding the kitchen which needs to be much bigger and better cleaned for size of hostel). If you are going there and fancy socializing/having the odd night out in the city then it is no mean guaranteed and will depend on who else is staying there. We went there hoping to meet lots of like minded people (ie. not young and crazy, but up for a few drinks) however the older clientele which seem to favour this hostel meant on most nights we didnt have any luck ;(

That's a nice hostel. Good location in a old and historic neighborhood (San Telmo) close to major must see sights of Buenos Aires. We faced a problem with water supply in the district, which affected the hostel as well. But the staff was helpful. The breakfast is modest, I'd like to see more options, like some cheese and ham. But I recommend it.
