Great Location. Very nice facilities, we loved the courtyard in the middle of the hostel. Our room was big and confortable. Bathrooms were very clean as well as all the common areas, it was a pleasure to stay in Petit. Hope to come back soon!

It was so awful, that we just slept one night instead of 7 and if I have had the choice, I would'nt even stay 1 night. If you are claustrophobic, I won't recommend you to book any nights. The ceiling is low and the window overlooked the tiny courtyard, which was illuminated the whole night and which also means no air flow. The corridors were very narrow andon the way to our room, we noticed that two rooms were closed by the government, because the space was too confined.

Petit location is 100% excellent, the hostel is near everything, 2 blocks from subways, half block from Santa Fe Av, is easy to get to all the best places of Buenos Aires. Staff really help me a lot with all my doubts. Very clean and wonderful courtyard in the middle of the hostel. I ll be back!

Thumbs up for Petit !!!! Everything was as good as I expected, some friends advice me to stay at this hostel because it was one of the best hostels of Buenos Aires and I m sure this is true. Since I arrived at the hostel that my welcome was perfect until the day I left everything was wonderful. Breakfast is good enough to start the day, rooms are perfect for a hostel, facilities were great and the staff excellent. I ll be back in 2 weeks! Thank you guys!

My experience in Petit was really excellent, I enjoy every single thing of this place, the house is great with big spacious rooms and common areas. I found the hostel very clean (this is difficult to find in a hostel), the staff was really friendly. Of course I will return to Petit! Cheers !!

the room we booked (double bed ensuite) was not available or not existing. we never found out. the staff told us, the boss sent us a mail which was definitely not true. we got a bunk bed room without window (!!!) next to the billard room. night-shift-guy wanted to charge the full (double bed ensuite) price for it. they said they will try to find another hostel for us for the next night. they were not successfull!? but we had no problem finding another one. so we stayed just 1 night instead of 4.

Only stayed one night, our original room wasnt available so we got upgraded sort of. we were spose to be in a private and were put into a dorm but we had it to ourselves and it had awesome air con and a large bathroom just for us. staff were very helpful and spoke perfect english. the young girl was particularly helpful and booked buses over the phone for us to and from the falls. the young man also sent us out to a nice steak restraunt which i will never forget. i would stay again

Friendly staffs and cosy hostel. not party hostel. (If you like parties in the hostel, go to Mihouse Avenue. club in the hostel!) Negatives are No air conditions & very old PC! but wifi works very well.

Unfortunately I had a bad experience at this hostel. The place is very well located, but rooms aren´t confortable, too small and our bed clothes were dirty! Bathrooms were part broken and durty. I had booked to stay at this hostel for 10 days with my mom, but we just stayed for a night. Hope it changes someday. But by now I do not recommend!

Hotel needs a buzzer to let people in besides a member of staff having to open the door when you leave and arrive. great Location but you have to organise all the activities yourself eventhough they advertise them in the hostel (Walking tour) Hostel needs air conditioning badly as was way too hot. It was noisy but I did expect that going there.

I DON'T RECOMMEND this hostel. I'm travelling a lot and never had a that bad service. Rooms are small, we were 5 in a 6bed room and hardly know where to put our luggage. The staff, except for 1 o 2 person is really doing the minimum. My first day, I was trying to connect to internet to communicate with my friends in BA and could not before 4pm. My 2nd day, couldn't have anything for my early breakfast because the boss was not there. Also I learnt on the last day that I was entitled of a towel.

This hostel was nearly perfect aside from the fact that someone needed to unlock the door everytime you wanted to get in or get out. The former I can understand for security reasons but the latter was frustrating after a bit. Essentially you are an adult asking for permission to leave the building. Aside from that, the hostel was big and interesting to explore, the sheets were changed every two-three days and fresh white towels are included free. The breakfast was very acceptable and filling.
