We stayed in a few hostels in Buenos Aires. This one was nice. It has a lot going on and is good value. The staff were very helpful and knowledgeable. Of all the aspects of the hostel, we were most impressed by the staff. The breakfast was also pretty good. The only thing I would say is that it is a hostel. As a couple, we tried a few different kinds of places and some of the hostels in BA are old colonial homes which are cool, but this is definitely more of a typical hostel.

Great rooms, really liked how the dorms were partitioned and the use of curtains on the lower bunks. Good showers & toilet facilities. The hostel felt clean & safe. The staff were really helpful & there were a good selection of activities on offer every day. Only negative is the basement bar downstairs which is a smoking bar. For those that don't smoke, it can get pretty unbearable towards the end of the evening and we found that the dorms on the ground floor also started to smell of smoke.

I've been backpacking for about 5 years now and I have stayed at many a hostel. PAX is one of those diamonds in the rough that every experienced backpacker has encountered occasionally. Clean, relaxed atmosphere with great city location. Lets be honest, any true backpacker will tell you that the hostel staff makes the difference. The staff at PAX are awesome. Super chyll, friendly, knowledgeable, helpful people who are travelers themselves. Couldnt ask for a better stay in BA, GRACIAS PAX!

PAX is an all around GREAT Hostel! First and foremost the staff is always helpful and ready to give you the best advice on what tours or activities you might be interested in. Overall, great vibe throughout the hostel. Fun and cozy common room makes for a wonderful location to meet other travelers and share information on future destinations. Ideal central location with very easy access to public transportation to get you to all 4 corners of Buenos Aires if needed. This hostel is a GEM!

I felt comfortable at the hostel, always helped by staff. The breakfast included more than your usual hostel, and the fresh orange juice was delicious. The staff was definitely a strongpoint of the hostel.

I have no idea where to start with this place-incredible hostel, great location. Mega friendly and fun staff. I will be going back for sure. A special commendation must go out to Barry-constantly on hand to ensure that everyone had a good time, always on call to sort out any 'events'-a trip in Barry's van is a must for the modern traveller. If you stay here I'd recommend getting to know him as he went the extra mile and our trip wouldn't have been the same without this incredible human being.

The staff were fantastic, amazingly knowledgeable and helpful. The prices are very reasonable. The breakfasts are great. My only criticisms are that there's main hallway between rooms tend to be noisy, so fans would be a nice addition in order to cancel out the noise. My other minor criticism is the rule about no outside alcohol, it's not a bar, it's a hostel, the rule is super lame. Overall though, my boyfriend and I loved it.

Unfortunately the staff, with the exceptional of one very lovely lady, were not particularly helpful or nice. The hostel was clean but a little too noisy for a good nights sleep. Not bad though

Great staff! Helpful, nice and makes an effort to remember your name. I felt very welcome and taken care of. Great breakfast! Small dorms but they've got huge convinent drawers with locks under the bed. Absolutely recommended.

Really didn´t like this hostel. My dorm was partitioned so it felt more like being at a boarding school than a hostel. This is fine if you want a lot of privacy but I found it strange that I didn´t know who was in the room besides the person below me. Also when I came into the room, I couldn´t see if anyone was asleep so didn´t know whether I could make any noise or not. In terms of atmosphere, this hostel is very average and not that sociable. However, the girl at the desk was extremely nice.
