In general everything was perfect, even the poor breakfast could not spoil our staying there. if there is something to improve is the breakfast.

The stuff was very nice and helpfull, and the hostel has a really beautiful sight! Despite the kitchen is not fully equipped, it's comfortable and practical. Therefore I highly recommend it!

I booked a 4 bed room (for four people) and was put on a 6 after being told that the 4 bed room does not exist and it is a problem with Hostel world. Speaking to other people in the Hostel they were in a four bed room so the staff will lie to you rather than admit they messed up. The building is not will maintained especially the bathrooms. There are no lockers in rooms despite the claims. Stay somewhere else. This is the worst hostel I have ever stayed in.

Nice view to the lake. About 15 minutes from the city center.

The rooms are really big (enough space for everybody). One small downside is the location, the hostel is a little bit of (10-15min ... not to bad) and uphill of the city centre. The staff was very friendly and helpful.

This was more of a hotel than a hostel, in terms of it's size and social areas and atmosphere. The hostel was clean but the kitchen was pretty odd. Big like it was to cater for lots of people but it wasn't well stocked in terms of pans and the oven was broken. Also, they lock the doors at 1am and don't open them again until 6am. So if you want to go out, like we did on xmas eve & xmas day/night, then you have to be back pretty early by Argentine standards. That really sucked.

This is a nice hostel with a great view (if you are on the sea side), 10 minutes walking distance from the main street and a okay breakfast (not unlimited). Only comment is the reception: it is bit of a chaos our taxi was not arranged so we had to look for it ourselves (on Xmas day not easy).

Excellent location! You have all the thing you can need near (bus station, little super market, travel agencies). The rooms are very clean and have a lot of space.
