!st timer staying in a hostel for me, and a mixed dorm for that matter, for the 1st night anyway. The staff and hostel get a 10 out of 10 from me. Very chilled atmosphere, and friendly staff. With the benefit of hindsight, would have stayed there an extra night or two. If ever in BA again, it will be my 1st port of call.

Staff were really helpful, the rooftop bar had an awesome view. Rooms were air conditioned, showers were hot and clean. Great common areas made it easy to meet people. Location is easy access to all areas in Centro. Relatively cheap for BA, overall probably the best hostel I have stayed in, within all of South America.

This hostel is wonderful with many different rooms. BOOK IN ADVANCE! You are going to want to stay longer and they are going to have no rooms left. Many people left for a night or 2 because the hostel was booked up and came back. It is in a great area with great access to public transport. Excellent breakfast and AMAZING staff. Check out their facebook page! It's very clean, all the rooms have air con. Access to the upstairs terrace. All you can eat bbq on thursdays. Need I say more?

Loved this hostel! A few hiccoughs in the first days (the water was out for a full day, then the power the next day), but they comped everyone a free night which was super generous. Staff incrediably helpful and chatty. Facilities are great! Two tv rooms, (you get access to the 6th floor too), computers, beautiful terrace.... best hostel by far so far.

Very professionally run hostel, great location & rooms, helpful staff. Breakfast is pretty good! They really need to make more use of the roof top bar though, prime spot, but two of the nights we were up there for a drink (Weds and a Friday) there was next to no one around, bizarre.

Hostel Estoril is simply a great place to stay. Staff friendly and helpful, great facilities and great atmosphere. Rooftop terrace with bar and bbq is great place to hang out. Great breakfast probably the best medilunas I have have had in Argentina. Compared to other hostels in the area, they don't come near Estoril. Great location nice and central, you can't go wrong staying here and we will be back soon to stay again.

Excellent hostel, staff are really helpful. Dorm rooms are spacious with good a/c and fans. Small lockers for valuables provided in really nice lounge area, with tv for watching movies etc when you are done with all the great activities on offer. Rooftop bar is great place for meeting people over a drink. There was a problem with the water being cut off in the building on the last day I was there, but the staff were great with dealing with the problem. Also good cheap buffet restauraunt nearby

Friendly staff, nice location. Nice environment to just relax and hang out with other guests. There are limited bathrooms though (1 per 8 bed dorm), which makes things a bit crowded in the morning at times. Internet is nice and fast.

Had the best time here. I had a private room that was tiny and a little noisy but this was all made up for by the amazing terrace, wonderful staff and friendly other backpackers. Would definitely go back.

Probably the best hostel I stayed at in argentina. I stayed on the 6th which is lovely - like I got some ideas for decorating my apartment; easily the best breakfast I had over my stay and the staff is super smart if not a little surly. Be careful checking in though. Someone was robbed right outside the hostel coming from the bus station. Well know tourist spot.

Great bar and roof top area. Staff extremely friendly and helpful with organising tours. Air conditioning not very effective on the very hot and humid days.

We had a private room in the hostel. Was just like staying in a hotel with kitchen & internet facilities on site as I didnt bring my laptop with me. Location was great so we could walk to all the subway lines to get around. Very friendly people staying there too and breakfast great.
