Unbelievable value for what you pay. Clean rooms and bathrooms, good breakfast, fast internet, lots of space and your bed is made everyday! Would definitely stay there again.

Staff is wonderful, but if you get one of the rooms facing the perpetually busy Corrientes, don't expect to sleep very much for the cacophony of honks punctuating the day beginning early.

I'd just say I'd recommend it at all. The only missing thing is a firdge per floor to have our drinks cooled. I'd remark cleanliness for both restrooms and bathrooms, and also all personel working there have great character and always willing to help.

all in all, a pretty decent hostel with good value for money. I booked a single room and got a double, which was very good. Wifi in the common room was usually quite fast and the breakfast, though basic, was all you can eat style. problems include a mosquito problem, a toilet cleaning issue (check under the toilet seat sometimes people), and the fact that there is no Wifi in the bedrooms

Everything about the hostel was good except two things - the kitchen is tiny for so many people which makes a big difference when you are travelling on a budget. The other thing was that the reception staff allowed someone in our dorm to bring a non guest into the dorm room in the middle of the night. This is a security risk for all guests as everyone sleeps with the doors open and we couldn't get any sleep, guess why. Otherwise good - good showers, good lounge area, good DVD room etc.

Hostel's location is perfect - close enough to many sites in central district, San Telmo and Puerto Madero to walk. Otherwise, there is the metro, which is close. We dealt mainly with Fernanda at reception and she is awesome! She can help with your itinerary, booking bus tickets (not to mention knowing why some bus departure times are better than others), etc., etc. Bathrooms were clean and having hot water was not a problem. No WIFI in rooms, but there is a nice common area with WIFI.

The quality of this hostel was excellent -- wonderful in every respect. We were particularly impressed with the helpfulness of the staff at the front desk -- they did everything they could to ensure we had a wonderful stay. Their dedication and helpfulness were impressive -- they were more than happy to go the extra mile for their guests.

The hostel was nice and clean but the staff was terrible. At our arrival we were supposed to be given towels (as it says in the hostel webpage). However, the staff denied to give us any. We had to wait until the next morning to talk to the person in charge and only after a 10 minutes discussion they gave us the promised towels. In addition, we had some other problems with the staff not telling us the correct procedure to obtain a discount in an associated pub, etc.
