Great hostel, is not very big so meeting people becomes easier than other big hostels. The staff is the best! always helping and giving information about the city. I liked the artistic murals on the walls & the piano, gives a "different touch" to the hostel.

Good hostel except for the noise at night. Street noise was high and thus it was hard to sleep.

The hostel is great. I nice space, full of people from all over the world, and this is the best, cause many people make the place better and with a great diversity. Cristian and Lorete were very lovely with me all the time. Tha breakfast was also very good. I like the paintings and the "street art" on the walls. The bad things: Some people of the staff don't know how to welcome the traveler. One of the girls was very unpolite. And gosh, the building is full of bats! :O I could give 8 in 10.

They need better ventilation in the bathrooms and communal areas especially when its 40degrees outside. Air conditioning would be a bonus, worth paying a bit more for too in Summer. The staff were all very friendly!

We were very satisfied with thew whole experience with BA Hostel and we're definetily staying there also the next time we hit Buenos Aires. The staff is good and the location is excellent. Rooms are clean and quiet, even the 10 bed dorm. Breakfast is average with white bread, cereals and coffee.

Stayed here for quite a few days when i was i BA, lovely place! Came back 3 times (after Montevideo visit and one hectic nigh at Milhouse), I simply love this hostel!!! Staff i awesome, location is great, and the people you meet there is always cool (i would know as i came back 3 times and met new people every time). This honestly feels like home in so many ways, it got such a good character, and the staff makes you feel very welcome! Great hostel that made my days in Buenos Aires even better!

BA Stop is in a great location near the center of BA and we were pleased to be able to book an excellent twin room with ensuite for $120 pesos pp per night. The hostel is being renovated but the works did not impact on us at all. So if all you want is a great room then BA stop is an excellent cheap option. However on the social side it is not by any means a social place where it is easy to make friends and meet people. There is a common area with a massive (but loud) TV but not much else.

El lugar es bueno pero los colchones de las camas son muy malos, no puedes descansar nada, además las chicas del staff son poco cooperadoras y no te explican bien las cosas.

This was a really lovely little hostel, centrally located, clean, reasonably priced, super friendly staff and very accomodating about coming and going, and really quiet at night if you ACTUALLY wanted sleep! Really nice clientele. I read the previous reviews on google and took a chance and I was not sorry I did that. It was really good. It was a really nice way to meet other backpackers too.

There was a lot of building work going on which will look good I imagine when it is done, but is is loud and starts early, so don't party and expect sleep. If we stay in Buenos Aires again though we will stay in Palermo.

Nice hostel close to centre of town. Room was adequet, bed was comfy enough (stayed in double room.) Street noise however is quite a bit of an issue. Curtains weren´t the best either. Overall no major issues and would consider staying again. Breakfast was crossiants & bread rolls , dulce de leche , jam, butter and coffee or tea.
