I really liked it here. Great atmosphere, nice staff, a good place to meet other people if you´re travelling by yourself. I wasn´t planned to stay for a long time in Mendoza, but in the end stayed up here for almost a week!! Really recommend it!

A good hostel in a good location. Good breakfast, good staff, communal atmosphere. The free glass of wine was good, pool was regularly cleaned, lots of clothes line space on the roof, good kitchen facilities. Also the tours and cooking lessons and other group activities were really well done. Some downsides were that the rooms remained hot as the cooling was minimal - fans.

our twin room was a bit dingy and the shower constantly dripped which meant there was always a puddle of water on the bathroom floor. the staff was a bit of a let down as they often rushed guests with enquiries especially in the morning when people where checking in and out. they also weren't very helpful when we tried to organise our trip to the wineries - they didn't mention anything about having to buy a bus pass and that the hostel has some we could have borrowed. apart from that it was ok.

Really enjoyed my stay at this hostel. The staff were really friendly. They were very helpful with booking tours. The hostel is good at getting people to mix and organises an event most evenings to get people to mix.

Amazing hostel! Great ambience w the grapevines growing over the trellis outside and the sun deck Activities every night so very easy to meet people. The asador (BBQ) is amazing value (empanadas, salad & 4 serves of steak/more of you want it!) for AR55 and the meat was really good/cooked by a professional asador Highly recommend staying here!!

Lovely hostel, the staff was on of the nicest that I had seen. Beware that the best things in breackfast are brought about 9 am, like the panqueques with dulce de leche! The bathrooms are clean but uncomfortable, the showers splash all over the place. The free wine makes wonders of socialization.

Excellent Hostel! We only stayed for one night but the people working here are super nice and extremely helpful and the place is really fun, nice and chill. I love the decor and I love that there is something going on every night. The bathrooms and showers aren´t something like a college dorm, they´re nice and like something you´d see in a house. Hot water, clean rooms and sheets and good breakfast (if you want eggs you have to cook them yourself but atleast there´s the option). GREAT.

Classic backpacker hostel, but a bit far from the bus station. The only problem was the loud guests hanging out in the courtyard until late at night - dorm was next to it and it was not possible to sleep. Very good breakfast, kitchens and lots of clean bathrooms. The staff is excellent and very helpful. There are activities organised almost every evening, and they are interesting and relaxed. I also booked a High Mountains tour with them which was just average.

I stayed in the hostel for 2 days with my friend julio. We had a great time. There were a bunch of young travelers in the hostel and everyone, including the staff was very friendly. There is a nice outdoor patio area and a roof where you can sit & hang out. The patio has a bbq and one of the staff members cooked us an incredible meal 1 night with 3 full courses and unlimited wine for around 50 pesos (10 USD). They also gave us 4-5 options for excursions and made all of the arrangements.
