The hostel is pretty good, location is fine, it's relatively cheap for BA. But there are better hostels in BA for a similar price.

The hostel itself is in a great location in San Telmo, right next to a great bar (El Federal). We stayed in a private room and these are really cool as they are in a seperate apartment building from the actual hostel, they are very nice. The AC is great for the humidity of BA. The staff were really helpful too. The only downside was that we stayed for a week and our double room didnt get cleaned once, resulting in a really grimy floor and a full bin. All common areas were very clean though.

We were in a double room in the annexe from the main hostel and it was great. Clean and quiet, with really good shared bathrooms. Would definitely recommend to other couples wanting somewhere clean and safe to stay.

This place had amazing character and the location is fantastic. We stayed in a private room which for some silly reason you can only pay for in cash, but they are quite good if you dont have the cash with you on check in. you can pay later. would happily go back here!!!!

Great location and lovely common area and nice staff but we stayed in two different private rooms and neither were great - the modern block has few windows and sound travels badly and the old block was damp, breakfast could really do with a few extras beyond 1 type of cereal and 1 type of bread and jam

good place to stay if you already know people in Buenos Aires. If you don't know anyone don't stay here. I found it very hard to meet people at this hostel.

There is a big no smoking sing in the common area, yet not only do visitors smoke, staff smokes too which makes it very annoying and unlealthy to non smokers.
