El Sol Hostel de Recoleta Reviews

Everyone at El Sol Hostel, including the staff and guests, were very friendly and fun to hang out with. They were accommodating and even helped me with my Spanish. I also thought that the bar was a really cool place with cheap drinks, good music and pizza, and a great bartender! I recommend this place to anyone from any country in the world whom is traveling through Buenos Aires. Ricoleta is a great neighborhood as well.

Lots of permanent residents. Very social, with friendly staff. Some of the lockers don't work in all the rooms. There is a beautiful little terrace up top. Shared bathrooms are small, but nice. It is in a busy area, so it's louder. Good value in a great location- so safe and next to so many great things.

Great location, you can go almost everywhere walking and it's easy to take public tranportation. The building is amazing, so charming! And the most important: everything is clean! Beds and rooms are good too, but can be a little cold in the winter. But they have blakets, so don't worry. There's a bar in a terrace, with live music in the weekends (very good music!). Staff and other people at the hostel are so nice and friendly, and always willing to help. It's like a big family.

My stay at El Sol Hostel was great. Perfect location in Recoleta. One can easily walk to anything in Recoleta from here or catch the bus or subway to the other areas in B.A. The staff speak many languages (including English) and are very helpful (Julia & Sara you ROCK!!!). They often hang out at the hostel patio/bar after their shifts which was great as it was fun to chat and hang out with them.. Rooms and bathrooms were clean. Breakfast was provided (delicious pastries, coffee and tea).

Everybody was super nice and helpful :). I can't remember their names, but the Colombian guy was fantastic and helped me with directions everywhere. In general it was fantastic and location couldn't been better!

It's a good option if you don't want to spend much money and prioritize location over facilities and comfort. The receptionist is very kind, but that's kinda it. The location is excellent though!

Booked a 4-bed dorm and were led up to the top floor (attic?). Horrible stairs first of all, not fun with a backpack :) The room felt like a cleaning closet with no window and no lockers whatsoever (and no lock on the door). The air at night was awful, so no good night's sleep exactly... Bathroom upstairs all yucky and didn't always work that well, downstairs better. Staff was really nice and helpful though, and the location couldn't have veen better! For a cheap, but uncomfy stay? go for it!

Washrooms in desperate need of upgrade.

Enjoyed my stay. Perfect location in a nice neighbourhood and I walked to most places I wanted to see or it was only one block from major bus routes. Cute with character. Staff were helpful and Sarah even took me to an underground password party.

The staff is really helpful and understanding. They helped me with suggestions, advice on things to see and do in buenos aires, a cab to the airport, and even woke me up one morning when i forgot my phone (also alarm) at a friend's place. These small gestures make a big difference when you're in a country you've never been to before. And it's fun to just hang out at the hostel itself. I'm definitely glad that I chose this hostel.

It was a great place to stay, with a really nice reception,offering everything we need, included bonus like great concerts on the terrace!

The small terasse is really nice to relax for a while. the staff is really nice and always ready to help you for something or give you some tips about the city. I did apreciate staying there and would recomand the hotel to other people.

I boked my stay in El Sol for 2 days, i ended up staying one month and a half, the staff is incredible as is the location, i would rcomend it big time for anyone looking for a great place to stay.

Central location and easily walkable to central and recoletta areas, and the subte. The staff were helpful, and the hostel has a really nice bar terrace area where you can relax at night with a drink. Definitely a good hostel for those looking for a relaxed atmosphere. Despite it being set up for people wanting a quiet hostel, most of the rooms overlooked either the main reception (meaning room had light shining in at night, and the noise of the door buzzer), or by bar - annoying. Breakfast good

stayed at el sol for some days, then went to iguazu and then came back to el sol. liked it there!

A very cool staff for a special hostel, it is like it has a soul that brings good vibes, you feel good in that hostel, that great and it is in the heart of Buenos Aires, so it is useful to visit all the places.

Our room was next to reception and facing a busy street so it was both noisy and very light. The room was very clean however and had a cute little terrace. Our room was also shared witha sweet little Siamese cat and as cat lovers, this excused any lack of sleep. The multilingual staff are very friendly and went out of their way to assist us finding a lovely restaurant late at night on a Sunday when much else was closed. Breakfast is good and hostel is kept very clean. Would definately stay again

Have a tiny kitchen, hasn't air conditioning.

best place to stay in buenos aires.

great location. it could be a bit more lively and the breakfast could be improved.
