the darkest place I have ever been to. Also the staff wasn´t helpful at all, I gave 30 dollars as a deposit fee for the key, and at the end of my stay they couldn´t give it back to me in dollars, only pesos, with a very bad rate, and I was leaving Argentina, so pesos were totally useless for me. I should have received back the same money I gave as a deposit.

This appears to be a nice hostel. However, once you scratch beneath the surface, and by that I mean spend more than about 5 minutes in the communal areas; you find out they're a tad over zealous with the 'air freshener' - it was truely repugnant. I wanted to kill myself. We opted to stay in as we had an early flight the next day and chose a film from their extensive collection - however, as good as Di Caprio is in Blood Diamond, it wasn't enough to compete with the staffs choice of music

Overall a good hostel, although not as close to the centre of Palermo as I'd have liked-I didn't realise this when booking. Staff were mostly friendly and helpful-they let me stay a little longer after check out time as I was ill with food poisoning, however one girl in particular could be quite rude at times too when you asked her for information. A bit concerned about safety in our room as there were bars on the windows and we were right at the back with no emergency exits. Good breakfast

I DID NOT LIKE THE PERSONAL. NOT THE ROOMS.IS NOT NICE OR PROFESSIONAL AS THE ONE IN CALLE FLORIDA, THAT HS IS MUCH BETTER, NICE AND MODERN. ONLY THE CLEANING LADIES WERE NICE AND HELPFULL IN PALERMO. THE FRONT DESK WERE ALLWAYS MODY AND VERY UNPROFESSIONAL. I WAS DISAPOINTED. ONLY THE LOCATION IS PERFECT. FOR ANYBODY. NO CREO Q VUELVA, NI SE LO VOY A RECOMENDAR A NADIE. NECESITAN GASTAR UN POCO DE PLATA EN MODERNIZAR EL LUGAR Y HACERLO MAS CONVENIENTE Y MEJOR PERSONAL.GRACIAS

All the staff I interacted with - Veronica, Andres, Luis - were great! I had to make some unforeseen changes to my vacation plans and was a little stressed. Veronica was incredible at putting me at ease and helping me figure out how to make these changes. I recommend this place highly!

Not the best place for us to stay.. the location is good, close to the action, but for me it is a bit to unpersonal... Rooms are a bit pricey for what you get, and I missed a nice communal area where it's nice to meet some new people - and a BBQ on the rooftopterrace -

We had a good time in Buenos Aires. The hostel was good and the stuff friendly and mostly helpful. Just the laundry service is not working. Our Laundry was laying two days at the reception without to be done.

Hi Karolina!!! How are you?? I hope you are well.. So... you reservation was in a Basic Dorm without Bathroom and Air Conditioning. In your bill I can see one bottle of water for $6, not $15 (the big one cost $8) And we clean the common bathrooms all time. Kind regards, and if you gonna come back and stay in a room with AA, book that one... Have a good trip!!!! Natalia.-

Great location in a building with lots of charm. We really enjoyed our stay there even though the beds were a little shaky. Staff was very friendly, hostel was very clean.

An average hostel in a very good location. The rooms are nothing special, and most the staff is not overly friendly - but they will help you with what you need. The hostel is fine to stay in in if you don't care much about the atmosphere.

Great location in Palermo, lots of communal space, including outside. Rooms were pretty clean, but kitchen was very small to cook in. Some of the staff were great, really helpful booking buses etc, but one of the guys had a real attitude problem, not sure why. Not the best hostel ever but worth it for the location.
