great place, cool staff, buena onda, lots of activities thanks for shaking me awake the first morning in time for the tour (: wi-fi worked great, big lockers in the room The only con really is that the windows face a very busy street and there's non-stop traffic, day & night & it's very loud when the window's open

Staff was friendly and helpful. I recommend the horseback riding tour through the hostel. It was a blast. I was in a 4 bed dorm. Average bunkbeds. The lockers were a little flimsy but each bed had it's own locker. Average breakfast. They have a nice bar/lounge area on the top floor with a pingpong table.

Definitely more a party hostel, with something organised every night. Good location, but quite noisy from the bar in the hostel. The mattresses and pillows were old, the rooms fairly cramped and no lock on the dorm door. Also the upstairs toilet was broken, so it was a bit of a walk to the downstairs ones. If you want a party, it\'s a great place, but don\'t expect much sleep :)

Very helpful staff, very clean. 4 bed dorms were a bit cramped as were the showers. Good location and the Bar upstairs was good. Our only complaint was the guy told us we had booked a "Cama" bus but was only semi cama.

Nice breakfast, and awesome, friendly statffs! BBQ partys are organised every Fridays and I enjoyed meeting new people from another 4 hostels and Argentinian asado. Staffs speak good English as well. Nice atmosphere with nice music as well.

Great place if you're looking for a party environment. Loved the separate showers downstairs makes it really convenient time wise for multiple people getting ready. Staff was helpful, friendly and attractive.

The staff makes this place what it is. Having a nice roof terrace, ping pong table and free breakfast are added bonuses. Clean and tidy rooms and bathrooms.. I would definitely recommend this place.

Best hostel that I've been in my life!! Nice people all the time. Excellent cleaning, music and food. The staff is really nice: Ruben! Keep like that! :) They offer their own excursions with very good prices, so you don't have to walk.

cool hostel, great location, awesome staff. killer big upstairs communal/eating/terrace/bbq/bar/pingpong area. rooms and beds are fine even if a bit tight. lockers in room (if they're not broken...). bathroom facilities standard, no problem. expensive beers and "no outside alchohol" policy makes you feel like they're more in it for the money, but the front desk girls make are awesome and make up for that. recommended.

if you generally like hostels that are very home-like, then this probably isn't the place for you - the staff felt very formal and the atmosphere around the hostel was kind of lacking, even though the facilities were nice. That being said, it is big, clean, and organized. The beds were really comfortable, the asado was good, and the staff helped me book my bus ticket which was nice.

Ruben was always there to answer our questions and helped us to make our stay in Mendoza excellent.

The hostel was ok. Good location and nice staff. The bar with the terrace is a big plus. In the down side, there is only one toilet in the male's restroom and the one in the common bathroom was not working. Definitely not enough. Some of the lockers on the bedroom were broken, leaving us with no place for valuables. The breakfast was quite poor, also. I had a good time there and the staff was really nice, but the place could be better .

Comfy beds, great deck area and bar but definitely not a party hostel. Really good breakfast and would stay again.

Great hostel, great location, great vibe. This hostel has a very homey type of feel to it. The staff are super nice (especially connie and ruben) and the room I stayed in (room 4) has very comfortable beds. They have great events going on all the time and the upstairs area is a great place to just hang out in. This is definitely a chill hostel.

Slightly farther from the main road, but a great hostel! Hot showers, great staff, and cool bar and hangout area upstairs.

Good points- the staff were quite friendly, the common areas were nice, free breakfast was ok. Bad points- the 'free pick-up' is actually them reimbursing you the tax fare, which was no use to us as we had no AR$ having just arrived from Chile so we had to walk, the directions given were terrible and the suggested 10mins took 1 hour. They got our booking wrong, and tried to overcharge us. Would not accept our HI cards. No lock on toilet/shower door. The wifi was often not working. Not the best.
