It´s a very good place to stay, easy to reach by the metro. It´s a quiet place where also a lot of latinoamericans stay, so it´s a good place to practice your spanish and get to know more than just other foreigners. Nevertheless the very friendly staff spaeks also english and helps you whith everything. We had a lot of fun.

one of the dirtiest ones in Argentina. The bathroom was not cleaned in 4 days, my pillow was brown, the shower was just hot water, communal tv fine if you are male and a football addict, and those stupid cushions that make you lie like a banana. The communal breakfast was a filthy idea, pubic hair in the butter dish, jam jar dipped 40+ times. The kitchen was never cleaned, cockroaches about from too much exposed food. Too much dope smoke.

Owner Comment (Show)
Bad intentioned comment from a guest that stayed several nights here and seemed to feel comfortable with the place. Moreover, she paid for a six-bed dorm and got a free upgrade to a 4-bed dorm with bathroom ensuite. Her review is exagerated and includes false facts: -There are no cockroaches in the kitchen. -Ensuite bathrooms are cleaned when guests allow it. -There is only one TV set available for all the guests no matter they like to watch football, soap operas, news or comedies. Guests usually agree what to watch in a peacefull way. -Kitchen is deeply cleaned every day since it is heavily used by our guests. -We don't serve pubic hairs with the butter. -The jam jars are common, that's true, but they are only accessed with knives. None sane person would pass the knives over his/her tongue. -We had only been eulogized by the design of the cushions of the TV area so far. Nobody had ever referred to have felt like a banana or any other fruit. -Dope is forbidden in Argentina. She must be confused with other smells.

Lovely, friendly atmosphere. Space to both chill out on your own and as group. No kettle or toaster and one computer always in use.

The Hostel was great - cleaned meticulously and daily.(any problems with cleanliness were the fault of the other guests!) Staff were fantastic - friendly, extremely helpful, knowledgeable and I could feel their care for the hostel. The kitchen wasn\'t extremely well equipped, and existing equipment is well used but the essentials are there. A communal feeling made for a friendly atmosphere where it was easy to chat with other guests. Rooms were clean, tidy and comfortable.

This hostel was amazing. I booked 1 night and stayed 5. If you are looking for a crazy hostel in the middle of party town, this is probably not the place for you. However, if you are looking for an authentic Argentine experience in the middle of a safe, non touristy neighborhood, this is it! Many guests are long term residents from around Latin America, so if you're looking for a real immersion experience and an opportunity to improve your Spanish, look no further. Clean, inviting, friendly.

A little bit away from the main tourist attractions, but near to subway and in a nice and safe neighborhood. Rooms are a little dark and shabby but good enough for sleeping. Helpful staff but not there 24hours. Cute cat who lives in the courtyard.

Nice place to stay, I booked for 3 days and eventually stay for a full week. It is not a busy hostel, which is good if you want to relax, but it also nice for meeting people.

very relaxing and homey environment. perfect place for traveler who is tired of partying and noise. staffs are very friendly and helpful. since it is a relatively small hostel, you can really get a lot of individual attention from the staff and get lots of useful information about the city, tours, shows, where to go etc. very clean everywhere, well equipped kitchen. respectful guests. it is in a good neighborhood where you can see the life of locals rather than just touristic spots.

Very relaxed and enjoyable hostel. Staff were all really friendly and helpful, the place was clean and everything you needed in the kitchen. 5 mins walk from nearest Subway station (which is the quickest and easiest way of getting around the city) and I would definitely return to this hostel.
