Rancho Urbano Reviews

I've booked two times at this hostel, the first time was ok. Second time they gave me a bed and as soon as i slept on it i started scratching myself. In the morning i had rash, i think they have a bedbug problem.

This hostel is pretty rubbish! It is not near any area you want to go to in Buenos Aires, it says it is in Palermo but it is not, it is actually about 12 blocks away. The hostel itself wasnt great, the rooms were average and the common areas were not nice. The kitchen in particular was rubbish and not clean - the floor was sticky! One member of staff was rude and unhelpful (the other 2 were fine).

The hostel itself was pretty good, lots of nice common areas and the breakfast is pretty good. I liked the self-service nature of it. Our bedroom was okay, but our shower was horrible. Also, there's no shower stall so that's a bit undesirable. You could probably meet a lot of ppl here. Close to the metro, and to Palermo and lots of places to eat. You're not allowed to bring in any beverages, which is a stupid rule, but to buy them there is relatively inexpensive, though you need change.

We stay for 4 nights in three different rooms and the second one was not clean enough and there was a girl (that accordding to her own words) lived in there that entered into the room several times without asking for permisson. The room didn't have a key, so that person could enter many times as she can. We have lockers to leave our baggage. The others two rooms were ok, with keys instead of lockers, so nobody except us could enter. And besides that, they were clenear than the other room.

When your only criterium is low budget', this is a good option for you. When you prefer a hostel with a little more comfort, then choose another one. For backpackers probably a better choice than couples, because it has a lot of rooms and a big common breakfastroom, so easy to meet other travellers.

nice staff, but if you find another place you should go there...

Good locaton near the subway and near all hotspots in Bs Aires. Please put a better bed in the singles room!!
