El Sol Hostel de Recoleta Reviews

The room I was in had horrible pillows and the ceiling fan looks like it hadn't been cleaned in years. The toilet and shower are all in the same spot which is just a little bit weird. Great location. Staff is nice... But I just couldn't get over the lack of cleanliness.

The staff was very helpful. The only problems are the bathrooms, very small and sometimes unclean. The beds are very old and there's a lot of noise on Saturdays with the events. Besides that, is a nice place to stay.

nice building!

Really nice location, bar on the top which was fun to go to meet people. Staff was nice.

Excellent shower, kitchen small but well equipped. Breakfast was average but would have been much better if served in a bigger room or the terrace. Great location. Our room (double w/ensuite) had a balcony which was nice. Staff gave good recommendations for nearby restaurants. Good security as there is always someone on front desk buzzing people in or out. Good value for money for BA.

The dorms here had some semi-permanent type residents that left the rooms really dirty, their stuff was all over the place. The upstairs rooms were very noisy. The staff were very helpful though.

I only stayed one night as the place I wanted to move was booked, so was barely there. Noticeably clean, very good wifi in whole building, staff very helpful with multiple languages. The balcony is very nice, I was just unfortunate to be sleeping above the most untidy person in Buenos Aires - you win some you lose some.

The hostel is good enough but you can probably find something better for the same price. The bathrooms are clean but odd (the showers are in the area of the toilet. It's not a problem, just the whole floor wet). The breakfast is basically composed of "medialunas", and you get tired of them after a couple days. The kitchen was really dirty and we refused to cook in it. After all, the environment is not very friendly and the common area is small and dirty.

Apart from having an excellent location, this hostel is run by people who love what they do. You can tell by the way they treat their guests. I look forward to coming back.

This hostel has good location - it is walking distance to the main street and to Recoleta Cemetery. The staff is very hospitable and helpful. Their continental breakfast is plentiful. Just let you know that the front rooms are noisy because the high traffic on the street - bring the earplugs to sleep better :)

I stayed here for only one night when in need of a room pronto in Recoleta. The staff was easy going and I appreciated that there was always someone at the front desk for questions/security. Pleasant other travelers, multiple bathrooms on multiple levels with private showers. Quiet night's sleep but the room was hot--not a lot of air circulation.

Beautiful old Parisian building in a great location. The staff are nice and helpful. The breakfast is simple pastries and coffee, pretty tasty. It's a no frills hostel, but good for what it is.

Hostel and staff were wonderful. I felt like the walls and kitchen and bathroom were quite dirty.

Se seinte un ambiente sucio e inseguro, alquile una habitación privada con baño particular y esta tenia una ventana grande sin seguro y sin cortina, la chapa de la puerta es facilmente violable, la cocina da la impresión de no estar limpia. Adecuado para mochileros que vayan en grupo llenen el cuarto para su seguridad.

Great hostel, a bit quiet when I was there but would definetely stay there again

Thanks for the good stay in the hostel, i felt welcome and it made my stay in Buenos Aires complete! Gracias! Ciao Joe Pietro

Had a single room, for just $26/night. Very nice. 1st floor is quiet, 2nd and 3rd are right next to the bar but they generally close around midnight, which is nice. Hot during the summer, and wifi is good only on the first floor, but very nice hostel alltogether. Bilingual staff, very helpful.

Really good location. Close to a Subte and within walking distance to the obelisk and Plaza de Mayo. The staff are really friendly and there appears to be a lot of them all the time. It's a pretty social hostel and when we there we found a lot of travellers who were staying for long periods of time while working/studying etc. so there was a family type atmosphere. The room and kitchen were okay, nothing special. Cool rooftop patio.

It was an excellent place to stay for meeting people, but the shared bathrooms need a lot of improvement. My room had paint peeling from the ceiling and dropping on the bed. That being said, the room is dirt cheap and the staff who work there are totally amazing. Met a lot of really cool people on the rooftop terrace. I would stay there again.

Very chilled and relaxed atmosphere helped by their easy going staff. I felt comfortable and ended up returning twice as I traveled around BA!
