Hostel El Español Reviews

Nice quaint hostel with friendly staff and excellent location near the ferry station. However beds are very uncomfortable and bathrooms are few and get dirty by the end of the morning. Also this hostel is quite popular with older crowds so pretty quiet.

Bed bugs, stay away! The staff didn't react at all when I told about it... Plus I have to stay the beds, in addition to the crowling bugs, were very unconfortable and I'm not usually very fussy about that stuff.. but these were aweful. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone.

nice location close to downtown - the rest is very basic - the dorms do not have a real door, just curtains. Bathrooms are not very clean - good breakfast.

I was not informed on check in of the need to change rooms during my stay, and was only informed when I initiated discussion. On check-in, all 4 beds in the room had stuff on them. I informed 2 members of staff, who assured me the people had checked out. When I was woken at 3am by a girl telling me to get out of her bed, clearly they had not been informed of their room change either. The staff were rude when I was not happy with the new room, and informed me I could check out if I didn't like it

Staff were good. They're doing some modifications to the building at the moment and they started working early on Monday, which woke pretty much everyone up. They didn't even consider moving the noisy work to the noon/afternoon, when everybody's gone. Price was not the one listed in Hostelworld. Me and 2 other friends had booked for about 66 ARS the night, and ended up paying 90 ARS or more. Location's just great, right in between the old town and the Ferry/Bus station. Breakfast was fair.
