Good place, staff ok, a bit offish. Do not book the Football from here. We paid 520 p, the ticket was 200 so they took us to the ground 3 hours early, after telling us they would take us drinking and eating first, and back to hostel. SO.. 320p for a bus ride with 40 other backpackers. Go to the ground yourself, sub is only 2 . 5 p and get your ticket there. Rip off. !!!!!

* There is no way to get Football tickets for Boca Jrs. or River Plate games if you are not member of the clubs, so, the price in the tickets are just for members who resale them. * Subway does not get close to the stadium * Security guides are included. Thanks for reading !

Left my luggage while travelling to Uruguay for a week. It was kept away really safely. Rooms are nice and big. Staff helps and you meet great people!

Good place to stay in BsAs

The rooftop terrace is the main selling point for this place, it's a great place to meet fellow travelers or check out the views and relax. The staff here is always willing to help you out, the common area is air conditioned (although the dorms are a bit warm in the summer), and the free breakfast actually includes eggs, a rarity in Argentina. I would stay here again!

Nice hostel with attentive staff. Love the rooftop terrace. Only thing-lockers are in common area and not in rooms even if they are big enough to fit in there as well.

Every maintenance tasks are performed during afternoon time because is when there are less guests in the hostel. Air Conditioning in dorms are on during night time for a good sleep, during the day air cons are on in common areas as living rooms. Thanks for reading !

The hostel building itself had a lot of character, however, nothing appeared to have been updated for quite a long time, e.g. furniture, bedding, utensils in the kitchen and kitchen facilities. Also the hostel was dominated by people from Israel and felt a bit like we were intruding by being here!

The hostel has an excellent location close to the main atractions. The workers are great and they make you feel like home giving you tips so everyday you will have something different to do. The breakfast is super complete, includying, eggs, croissants, fresh orange juice, dulce de leche, etc. It has also a great rooftop with amazing view.

Nice breakfast with fresh fruit and eggs. You can also use the roof top terrace located on the 6th floor. We had air conditioning in our room which is a plus in summertime in Buenos Aires.

Fantastic hostel in BA! Staff were extremely helpful and friendly. Great breakfast ( including eggs and a smiling chef!), rooftop bar made it easy to connect with fellow travellers. Spacious female dorm with ensuite and hostel is centrally located so I could walk to major sights. I would absolutely stay here again.

This is a nice relaxed hostel, great breakfast and the rooftop terrace is a great place to chill especially after sunset. If you want a party hostel, stay somewhere else, but if you want to be able to do your partying elsewhere and chill when you get home, Estoril is great.

The hostel is in an old building which has character but is in serious need of repair. Toilet cisterns buttons missing, ceiling plaster fell in, tiles broken. Not all rooms have air conditioning. The inner city location means it is rather noisy. The breakfast was excellent.

Not a bad hostel, but not really sure why it was so highly rated. My room (first floor, near the lobbey) was extremely hot and the traffic from the street was so loud all night. Breakfast is great - loved the eggs and (diy) freshly squeezed orange juice. Considering the rooms are spread amongst several floors of the building, it was not the best hostel for meeting people.

This room has air conditioning and it works perfectly. It was just turned off. There is a big living room at this floor and a bar in the rooftop terrace where you can meet other travelers. Thanks for reading !

I don't really believe I could point out something that the good people at Estoril should improve. I've been there twice, and I love the place, period -- the atmosphere, the decoration, the people, the facilities, everything! Don't think of anywhere else if you're planning to visit Buenos Aires.
