The staff was awesome! --super helpful and friendly. It was a smaller place, seemed like a pretty chill/older crowd. I liked the locations, close to San Thelmo markets, shopping, and good restaurants.

Safe hostel with lots of guests passing through. We will stay there again, especially on a Sunday, for the San Telmo market which is 5 minutes away.

The staff at Sandanzas were incredibly friendly and helpful. I have no complaints about the rooms or bathrooms at all, and the included breakfast is more than the average bread and jam!! I spent christmas eve here away from my family and friends, but the dinner and drinks party that the staff put together ended up being heaps of fun and really made it feel more like christmas time! They even gave everyone in the hostel a mate cup as a xmas prezzie!! I'd definitely go back again!!

I liked Sandanzas. It's located in the heart of San Telmo. The staff is friendly and helpful. Even though the appearance of the hostel is a little bit shabby, the atmosphere is good. And you get a towel for free.

+ everybody was friendly and I went out with flatmates several times + staff were very very helpful in identifying places to go see and eat at. + staff happy to teach / correct spanish :) + hostel is perfectly quiet to get the sleep you need to go and explore for the day + located in San Telmo; La Defensa has plenty of restos and stores to explore - common room seating could benefit from a couch - in room electrical plugs (wall mounted), had poor contacts, often found myself without a charge

Lovely Hostel with only 28 rooms so feels very cousy and friendly. Not a crazy party place so would suit more to 25+ traveler. Could do with new bed sheets. Breakfast is great so is staff!

The staff is very friendly. This is a great hostel that i do recommend. It is very nice and close to the center. The only bad thing is that we slept in the dorm close the entrance door which was creaking during the night.
