There is a rude desk employee. He made the entire experience unpleasant. The rest of the hostel mediocre.

Everything was ok. One of the best hostels we ever stayed. Close to famous attractions , bus and metro stops,breakfast was great. The best thing in hostel-STUFF. They were always ready to help you. We got answers to all our questions and even more :-) P.S. Just a small minus-bear was double price like in the shop and you are not allowed to brig it from the outside. That was bit to much :-(

Overall a good hostel and excellent value for money. I stayed in the 8 bed dorm that was a bit cramped but ok. Location is good, very central. Staff are really friendly and very helpful, and breakfast is excellent and until 12:00 which is unusual! I´d definitely recommend this to travellers on a budget.

Pax hostel is situated at a street with heavy traffic. The double rooms to the street are horrible to sleep in. Nevertheless the rooms were very nice and had the charm of Buenos Aires. The bathing rooms and toilets were cleaned only once a day which might be average for a hostel but in that very case it was gross. Hostel is perfect for young guys who want to make party and do not care about hostel itself. The hostels surrounding district was very poor.

Hi, first of all thanks for your comment. Sorry to hear that your stay wasn't that pleasant. I just wanted to clarify that it is not true that bathrooms get cleaned once a day. They get cleaned 3 times a day in our different house keeping shifts...Iam really sorry if you found them dirty...Travel Safe

The bathroom facilities were clean-ish but quite run down, the room was small, but the staff were quite helpful with getting around town. It's not somewhere I'd want to stay for more than a night or so.

Great staff, very helpful with everything, mixed nicely with guests. It was unfortunate to be there in low season, it seemed to be such a great place to be with all the high season activities.

Lots of info on tours and help with booking buses etc. Each bed in the dorm has its own locker under the bed which was good. Always stuff happening in the evenings too if you want to socialize. Very helpful staff.

To be honest the best part about this hostel is the staff. I stayed in a double bed superior room and that was very very nice. That being said the showers are very average and the kitchen is pretty much non-existent. The worst part about this hostel is the location. My girlfriend felt unsafe walking around by herself during the day and wouldnt dare step outside during the night. Locals told us that it was not a very safe area to stay. That being said nothing bad happened to us or anyone I met.
