If they put soap in the dorm rooms, it will be great. It does no make sense to carry soap.

Great staff really assisted with lots of information and very friendly. Cleaning was not regular and door was left unlocked/open one day.

Very good hostel in buenos aires, without doubt the most friendly and helpful hostel staff I have met in over 7 months travelling. As other people have commented it feels a little bit like a cross between a hostel and a hotel. Fantastic lounge area and huge sofas. Would definitely stay here again and recommend to others. Small dorm rooms, ensuite bathrooms with separate basins, toilets and showers, so that more than one person can use at a time.

Absolutely loved America del Sur. The common area was really great for meeting people. It seems to attract a really nice and interesting bunch of people. I'll be recommending here to anyone who travels to BA. The breakfast was quite good too.

Highly recommended. Should've taken cab not bus from EZE. Bus(Tienda Leon) goes to Terminal Madero, about hour's walk to hostel(at least I travel light). Staff very professional, don't let youthful appearance fool you. Hot/humid, AC OK, wifi soso @upper floors, SHARE ONE KEY PER ROOM. Streets safe, road hazards risking ankle injury. Subway OK but transfers to lines confusing. Complejo Tango great. Missed Eva Peron gravesite. Late January is kids summer break, pack patience at EZE on return:-)

Very friendly efficient staff, great location, kitchen facilities good - could be a littler cleaner but nothing major. Lots of activities organised and all very helpful for travellers. Double room is good value, includes ensuite and tv. San telmo is a really nice place to stay in BA.

After travelling through Ecuador, Bolivia, Peru, Chile and other parts of Argentina staying at numerous Hostels and Hotels, America Del Sur Hostel wins hands down in all departments. The place is always clean and secure, has all the facilities you will need while staying in BA, and the staff are better then staff I've experienced at 5 star hotels and more friendlier. When I return to BA I will be staying here again just for the atmosphere and the staff alone.
