The hostel is great location and our room was upgraded we stayed in a twin which was clean and quiet although aparently the dorms are not so great. I really liked it here the only issue was that its very busy and often not enough staff on reception

Great hostel and helpful staff. My only comment is that the bunk beds are not steady, rocking. They should either be replaced or stablized

Stayed here for one night. Good location, close to several subte stations. We were up on the 5th floor so it was surprisingly quiet.

nice rooms, clean, safe, but nothing special. another big hostel. go somewhere else if you want to party and meet people in the hostel. only the pick up from the airport is included.

Although the location and staff are excellent, I won´t stay here again until it has been upgraded. The beds in the dorms are terrible....wobbly bunks and the sheets were too small (= they roll up under you once you climb onto the bed). The lack of a fan is a big point for me, given the heat in BA in summer. The staff were excellent and agree that the bunks are in need of replacement. On the plus side, the breakfast is great...maybe the best I´ve had while in Argentina!

The Hostel is very well-located, and the rooms are large and clean, but there's a lack of bathrooms, two per floor is much less than the real demand.

We enjoyed our time in Buenos Aires. Great City with friendly people. The hostel is very nice, in a big building and good structure. I recommend this hostel, as great it is, as excelent location it has.

The hostel is located near downtown and metro stations, so you can move easily through the city. It is very clean, breakfast is good. The staff is excellent! They help you with any question you have and give you recommendations of good places.

A hostel with no character but modest rooms and a central location. The staff were helpful and the place was clean (just got new painting at the time of the visit). But it is not kind of hostel that I would miss. There were kitchen location at every floor but NO KITCHEN FACILICITY, except for one in the 2nd floor, so each time for boiling a cup of water for tea I had to go two floors down and then one floor up in the next corridor (!) to boil the water on the heater.

Great location - right in the center of the city...and the overall atmosphere of the hostel was really nice. They didn't have locks on the lockers in the shared room and some of the bathrooms didn't have hot water....but overall, it was a really good place to stay and I'd definitely go back.
