Hostels del Mar Reviews

There was a mix up with my booking, and when I arrived the hostel was actually supposed to be closed. However, the owners were happy to honour the booking and invited me to stay there. The hostel is super clean and the beds were comfortable and new. They had great facilities and the owners were awesome and helpful. I think the hostel would be really cool when it is actually open!

Great place with a relaxed and welcoming vibe. Ideally situated for any would be suffers looking to dabble. Wonderful chatty staff, and seems to draw a good crowd. Would thoroughly recommendmto anyone looking to spend a laid back and fun weekend in mar del plata.

AMAZING HOSTEL! The rooms have plenty of space to move, the lockers are in a corner and out of the way, but easily accessible. Maybe could be considered "cramped" if you're used to staying in hotels, but considering it's a HOSTEL, they were great. Because it's so close the beach (which is AWESOME) there are many surfers, but I think that helped add to the atmosphere. I was looking for a laid back, relaxing hostel for my beach vacation, and I found it. Staff, hostel, everything was PERFECT!!

We were a bit disappointed after reading all the good reviews. The staff was friendly and nice but the hostal is more a surfersden than a hostal. The room was not even that small but it felt really cramped, the lockers were also weirdly located behind a bed so you couldnt reach them easily. We wanted to relax in Mar del Plata since we were tired amd because it was busy and cramped everywhere in the hostal we decided to leave the same. Mgmt didnt charge us which I found real nice of them.

fantastic environment, very laid back, amiable staff
