Staff were helpful but were sometimes too busy to take more time with us Double room was nice and breakfast was good and simple, with plenty to eat. The free walking tour was excellent and highly recommended! There were free things to do there every day The only problem we had was being given a twin room when we booked a double, we had to ask twice to finally get the double room.

The three only problems: 1. the beds shake too much, 2. the breakfast is for only two hours, 3. they don't accept Visa Travel Money. So, basically, all the rest was perfect.

This hostel was a good base for us when we stayed in Buenos Aires and had the perfect central location to go off and explore the various areas. The only negatives would be that it's so huge that it's not as sociable as some and that the breakfasts weren't great. During our stay we wanted to go see a tango show - La Ventana, after looking around extensively for tickets the hostel gave by far the best price. Worth doing through them.

My stay was for 4 nights. In that time, I made great friends with most of the people there, including those who worked and those who were visiting, like myself. There was a challenge which the front desk people helped me resolve. Overall, the hostel was a safe place, both in location and in feeling, and I would go again.

I had a private room at the back, which was comfortable, clean and quiet. The staff are very helpful and they serve a good breakfast. There there is also wi-fi for unlimited use by visitors. As is the case in many large cities, guests must be aware of the potential for theft. It is therefore essential to safeguard personal property and don´t leave valuable items unattended.

Really good location, reception staff are very helpful, fantastic English! They helped us book our tours to Uruguay and a gaucho tour, and told us where to go locally. Good clean hostel, great free breakfast and internet!

The hostel was nice but the pub crawl was a rip off. I wouldn't waste my money. Other travelers are thieves so lock up everything.
