very friendly and helpful owner and staff, internally the hostel has relatively small quarters but is in a good location and has a great rooftop and bar, recommended if solely for the staff!

The Hostel was Top Rated but I was a little confused why. It was very small and I thought our room was meant to have air conditioning but it didn't.

That's a small and cosy hostel! The staff guys made dinners all the nights I stayed there, what was very good to meet and even become friend of the other travelers. The atmosphere was great so far! The location is also very good. The private room is very small, but it has a AC, so for me was nice. I recommend it!

Stayed 5 nights here in private rooms. First night ac didnt work, was fixed by owner immediately, owner is very nice and attentive, makes all the difference. Some staff were generally hard to communicate with. Rooftop terrace was great. Daily organised activities are great, Very cheap prices for beers/juice/water in hostel. Hostel is located up 2 levels of stairs and elevator not for people to use. We were bitten heaps whilst sleeping, mixture of definately mosquitos and possibly bed bugs.

It's a very nice hostel, great staff, excellent atmosphere. We made very good friends there. Our bedroom (private suite) was unbelievable, the best for sure. Although, is not the best place in Cordoba to put a hostel. Amazing parties! Definitely recommended.

A very nice atmosphere and a helpful staff that seems to know what you as a traveller need and then offer it to you with a smile - from beginning to end. It was very nice to be able to go to the roof and enjoy the sun and just relax. There was a nice balance between social activities and peace and quietness :)

Great Hostel in a beautiful old building. Staff was the friendliest and most helpful I've seen so far. Centrally located but on a quiet street.

Great hostel. It is very small and has a good common room so its easy to meet other travellers. There is also a rooftop that is more quiet if you want to chill out. Staff and owner are very friendly. Rooms are fairly clean. Highly recommend

A great hostel, with amazing staff - thanks so much to Gal, May and the team for making us feel so welcome. We had a fantastic trip up to La Cumbrecita organised by Gal, was great to get out of the city. I'd like a bit more variety for breakfast, but that's my only complaint!

A really nice hostel in a good location. The reception staff are very welcoming, friendly and good at their job!! Even the owner makes the effort to introduce himself, a really nice touch !! The breakfast is plentiful and the kitchen is well equipped for self catering. The only negative is that the sun terrace (on the roof) doesn't have any comfy chairs (sun loungers), apart for that, it's a great spot for chillin.

Positives: Hostel staff is truly exceptional. May made us some mate to try, which was fun. Nicolas is a great guy, training to both be a lawyer and a chef… and he cooks up a mean assado grill. The assado on the rooftop is a must, and the included wine flows freely. Overall a great place to meet people! Negatives: I know it’s a hostel, but the showers and bathroom facilities aren’t the cleanest/ most modern.

The staff is very friendly and helpful even at midnight, the rooms and bathrooms are nice and clean, each bed has it's own light and socket, there is a bathroom only for girls and the breakfast was nice. Maybe they could add a juice on that one ;)

I had a very enjoyable stay at the hostel but it was really bad the administrative control of the payments. For that i had to pay twice, unacceptable!!! They should provide a receipt after the payment as prove of the payment to avoid double charge for the same service. Besides this point, it was a good stay and music playing all day creates a good atmosphere.
