The main guy on duty (in the evenings) was great- really friendly and helpful. He was full of information and recommendations. The other staff were not as good. The location is brilliant- quiet at night yet right on the subway and walkable to virtually everything in the city. The internet was good and the rooms were a decent size. The hostel could do with being cleaned a bit more often and little things like the toilet paper running out more than once are a bit annoying.

No real major complaints about this hostel, staff are helpful and hostel is clean. Rooms are a bit stuffy, no real ventilation. Only two bathrooms for so many people can be a bit of a problem if you're in a hurry to leave. No one on reception from 10 until 8, so if you need a taxi early or anything it can be difficult. Nice location to reach places but at night can be a bit dodgy of you are walking back or arrive late at night. If you do arrive late let them know so they will be there.

Staff was friendly and helpful. It was easy to get from the busstation and nice neighbourhood to walk around in. They don't seem to clean so often, since it was dirty floors.

The hostel is well located, close to a lot of interesting points; the staff is really helpful, also very polite and worried about your safety. When we arrived, our bath was dirty and wet (we took the suite w/ 3 beds), but the rest of the room was clean. The kitchen is a bit messy, since the guests must clean their own dishes, so sometimes there was a pile of dishes in the sink; there aren't enough plates or glasses for everyone.

The Staff were very helpful and most had good English. We were especially grateful to a female member of staff who gave us a wake up call at 4am and then as we didn't have change for their taxi service to the Airport gave us 40% off the fare. its a nice location as it is far enough away from the busy part of the city to be noisy but close enough to be able to walk to most things.

Welcome to the best hostel ever !! What's best to discover the magic of Buenos Aires than a small friendly hostel with competent staff to help you around! You'll feel like at home far from home, with new friends straight away! The hostel has a lot of character with its brick walls, wooden floors and colorfull dorms, breakfast is delicious and everybody is over friendly! All that in the bohemian quarter of San Telmo! Don't waist your time, just GO THERE and ENJOY! Watch out, you might never leave

Highly recommended friendly place. Very helpful staff. Great location in the middle of BA. Working elevator so we did not have to carry the bags up the stairs. OK breakfast, albeit a little overly sweet for my taste.
