Strenghts : The hotel is perfectly located right in the city center, friendly staff , clean rooms and bathrooms, A lot of space in the living room, air conditionning in the living and in rooms (really a plus in summer) Weak points : No kitchen, on the 2 computers only one was working, lack of food during the breakfast, :only plain bread was served without butter and I had to ask for marmelade

This is my second time here. Very nice and clean hostel. The staff is really welcoming The hostel's location was great, just a short walk from the nearest metro station and all the sites in Buenos Aiores were easy to walk to.

the hostel was filled with large groups when i was there - not a good place for a solo traveller. and the owner and his friends sat around the reception drinking coffee, taking up space and not being helpful. i did not like this place and would not recommend it.

Nice Hostal to stay The Stuff is helping out and speaks perfect english breakfast is ok, but there is always to less, so you have to ask always, cups, coffe, toast, marmelade etc. In some flours you cannot close the toilets, so you can see many people doing they business The locks of the rooms are very old, so you need at least 10-20 Minutes a day for closing and opening, or you have to ask the stuff to help. Internet was failing very often, so if you need to work ver internet, it is horrible.

I did not like my stay in this hostel at all. The guy that welcomed us was nice but a little chaotic. He forgot to tell about the normal stuff: breakfast time, towels etc. It was very crowded and noisy in the common rooms but until 4 am?? There was nothing fun about this hostel...when we had breakfast the guy behind the counter was cranky and obnoxious.
