Gecko Hostel Buenos Aires Reviews

This Hostel was OK but I have stayed in much nicer places in BA. I originally booked 3 nights and left after the first. The bar area is OK but everything seems a little grubby, especially the bathrooms. There is no locks for the dorm rooms but they do have lockers in the hallway for valuables which is good. The area is nice and the dorms cheap but I probably wouldn't stay again.

Great location but ruined by stuffy over crowded rooms and bathrooms were atrocious. Only one toilet ever worked for 75 people.

smokers within the building, beds old, good location.

"What a crazy place! Juan, the guy working at daytime, is what a hostel-manager should be like: service-minded, helpful, social, kind - and the list goes on. The rest of the staff is also a good bunch. The entrance/ common area is wonderful, the locaton perfect, but - come on, guys - nobody wants to eat post-toasted, cold bread. We can toast it ourselves! Stay here if you go to Buenos Aires!"

Staff were completely friendly and helpfull. The place is clean, and the kitchen is pretty useful if you want to save money. It is close to all the turistics places of the city. Breakfast is free from 8 till 10 am...I recommend it.

Nice place, nice staff and OK location. The beds were horrible though, and so was the showers - no hot water at any time! The two computers in the reception are constantly out of function. The other people staying here seems to do nothing but smoke weed all day, and the staff don't really care. But it's cheap and clean, so if you are on a budget, I would recommend it.
