Bathrooms were gross. Beds not very comfortable/a bit smelly. Cool place other than those things. Fun staff, cool art, good wifi.

The bathrooms are disgusting. Full of mould. Taps come off in your hand and one sink constantly drips. Breakfast basic, but to be expected for the price. Fridges and kitchen disgusting! Best part about this hostel is meeting other travellers. The rooms are simple, but lockers are missing or broken. The worst thing about this hostel is the (resident) drunk who parties into the night in the common area and then screams throughout the corridor all morning til 7am. It really gets to you after 3 days

I can't recommend this hostel enough. The location is perfect; conveniently located in Palermo SoHo. The staff is nothing but friendly and always alert to your concerns. The artwork is creative and the style is very modern.

Great location in the heart of Palermo party district ,great hostel for meeting fellow party revellers it is a really sociable hostel with great staff all very willing to help .the only downside is the condition of the cooking facility's they need to invest in a decent oven and a proper fridge .

Cool, safe, fun and well sized hostel, not too large, not too small. Super friendly and well connected staff, and filled with interesting people. Really great vibe, the decor is second to none. Probably the best location in Buenos Aires, in the heart of Palermo (main entertainment district), less than a minutes walk to Plaza Serrano, and a short walk away from most of Buenos Aires' best clubs, bars and restaurants.

This hostel was the filthiest I've stayed in so far! It stunk horribly! I couldn't wait to leave. Breakfast was the same as anywhere else. The atmosphere is advertised as great but it wasn't so when I was there, whether that's the people staying or the hostel in general I'm not sure. The location is excellent in a quiet street in Palermo near shops, restaurant, parks and bars and clubs. OK to stay here if you stomache is not weak and your sense of smell is non-existent.

It was cool. The staff is very nice, but we arrived at 18h and they still hadn't the room for us. We booked a private room for 2, ensuited, but it was without the bathroom, so that was also a disappointment. But they did give us a discount ! :) A lot of stairs, but a very artistic bar/reception.

The beds are cheap for Buenos Aires and the atmosphere is great, but the toilets and kitchen were really gross. The internet was a bit hit and miss too. Overall, cheap beds and a great stay, but don't go if you are squeamish about these things.

Everyone was very friendly. I really enjoyed the murals on the walls and the artistic nature of the hostel. The bathrooms and showers are utterly disgusting, but I guess they do work. Overall, if you\'re looking for a cheap place to stay, this isn\'t a bad option, but there may be better ones.

Malísimo el hostel, habitaciones muy sucias, baños sucios, a la hora de entrar y salir tenés que esperar que alguien se le ocurra abrirte. Para nada recomendable. Terrible hostel, very dirty rooms, dirty bathrooms, at the time to enter and leave you have to wait long before someone comes to open the door. Not at all recommended.

There are not enough bathrooms and they are very, very dirty. The rooms are bigger than usually which is nice, but the wardrobes and lockers are old, some can't be locked. Nice terrace and social area.
