Amanda... thank you for you remarks... even though we invited you to stay for free at our mountain Hostel and also your stay at the city hostel and even you got free rides every where... It is true that we just bought the hostels, but the problems are solved like every new hostel that changes owners. But I would not state to NOT TO COME... it is not very nice from your behalf.. even when we treated you the best we can... and the problem it was not ours it was the whole city of mendoza, that did not have enough water preasure. Therefore we invite everyone that would like to come to our hostel, that we will treat you like home...

the manager is the most honest, warm, funny person and the hostel is comfterable and clean. We arrived at 2 am and he didnt charge us for that night. Not only that but all our stay was like being home with family. we highly recommend this hostel to anyone.

Outside Appearance of hostel was not good. All windows smashed on outside door.location not great about 45 minute walk to main area with bars and restaurants.no taxis seemed to know of the hostel. Owner and his family very nice and full of helpful local information. Rooms very basic, cheap and clean.

Owner messed up with my reservation and did not put me in the room I booked, but in a more expensive one for the first night. The day after I had to move to another room... Bathrooms were not clean and rooms VERY cramped. When I checked out the owner said that I would get a discount and pay the price I should have paid in the first place - and then I was told to leave a good review on hostelworld. In short: very average hostel and bad practices, not recommended.

The hostel is very nice and cheap. It has a familiar ambient and the staff is very helpfull. It is very close to "La alameda" that is a very nice place with several bars to go out at night.
