El Sol Hostel de Recoleta Reviews

Staff was very helpful!! Clean facilities. Only inconvenience was that there weren´t any personal lockers in our dorm room, other than that this hostel exceeded our expectations. Thank you for all your recommendations Paul!

The owner paul is the man

Friendly, helpful staff. Good, safe location

Its fantastic such wonderful people

A hidden gem in recoleta? An excellent hostel, the owner and staff are always keen to assist with queries and questions. The only points that need attention are the breakfast which could be a bit better, the cleanliness (was very busy so in the afternoon onwards they run out of toilet paper and the bathrooms were a bit dirty) and kitchen which is small for the capacity of the hostel, even though it did not seem to cause any major problems.

Room was clean and staff were helpful with city info. Good location for walking to Recoleta cemetry and walking to Palermo. Subway stop 5 mins walk away to get into the centre or to Palermo. Facilities were pretty basic in the hostel, not much atmosphere but its pretty cheap. Has a rooftop bar and had a few drinks up there at night which was nice. Not much of a common room for meeting people. Basic breakfast coffee/ croissants. Good budget option or just somewhere to sleep in BA.

Great location and amazing staff!!

Patio area lovely but the combined toilet/shower/small food dishes washing area near our room seeemed a bit unhygenic. Percolated coffee = excellent idea but unfortunately it tasted like water. Great location however and staff helpful and friendly. Small kitchenette but enough room to cook, can opener would be handy!

Towel + sheets + breakfast! Not very clean but good for the value!

The staff were all really friendly and helpful. I was ill the day I arrived and they switched my single room so I didn't have to climb more stairs which was a nice touch. It was exactly as it said in the description, a little bit noisy, a tiny kitchen but there was live music and activities for Christmas if you wanted to join in.

I've stayed in a bunch of the hostels in BA and they all have there advantages. El Sol is a friendly, well situated place and cleaner than most. Nothing fancy and not a huge party place just comfortable with nice peole.

great location &friendly staff

Booked a private room for 3 nights. They booked me in a room right above the patio. This was horrible! There was live music and a DJ playing till 02:00 at night. VERY VERY noisy. It was like sleeping on the patio. The staff knew this in advance. Why do you book people there?? I'm not the first one complaining about it. I think people should have a choice if they want to listen to the music and enter the patio. Don't organise live music and an DJ when you playing this for a audience of max. 5

Very helpful staff.

Good hostel - very central, everything works, comfortable beds. The kitchen is a bit small, and so is the common area, but the bar/cafe upstairs is nice and not too expensive. The computer is painfully slow, but the WiFi was good. Very friendly and helpful staff. I would definitely stay again. :)

Great place, great people...

Nice staff and great location. No lock on bedroom door and no lockers inside our room. Rooms and bathroom were clean. Close to the subway.

Definitely would recommend! i was mainly looking for the cheapest place to stay, so when i arrived at el sol, i was pleasantly surprised by how pretty the hostel was. seriously. the rooms are so quaint and pretty. id totally live here.

This place feels like home away from home. The staff are friendly and helpful. The place is truy nice with lots of common room where you can meet fellow travellers easily.

Okay for the price, but there are better places. Feels cluttered.
