The power failed while we were there meaning that there was no hot water in the hostel but the staff were really great about it and we didn't have to pay for the nights when there was no water and eventually they helped us move hostel. Other than that, it is a good hostel in a nice location and the beds are comfortable. I think that we just experienced a bit of bad luck during our stay.

This is the first time that we stayed in this hostel, we returned later. it is a comfortable hostel, particularly when it is really hot outside and you feel the air conditioning. The breakfast is ok, but very sweet. The staff can organise lots of activities for you, like city tours and day trips. the 6 bed female dorm has lockers and comfortable beds and an air conditioner.

Good location. The staff is very helpful for everything. Thursday`s barbecue are very good to eat and meet people. It has a roof where people can hangout and drink. The beer at the hostel is cheap, and they haver other drinks First two nights were horrible at a room with no air cond. It was impossible to sleep at that hot place. But when I moved to another room, was good. The best hostel I have stayed during my trip

Great hostel, one of the best I've been in Buenos Aires. It is clean and have a nice area for drinking and partying, away from the rooms, so you can sleep soundly while others are enjoying the night. If you are into it, there are some guided travels available.

Had a great time at Terrazas Estoril! The staff were amazingly friendly and encouraged me to hang out with other guests. Great rooftop terrace for hanging out in. I found the atmosphere really friendly, everyone wanted to get to know eachother and have a chat. Definately recommend it!

The hostel was more than clean and the staff was the most helpful I could find so far. They always helped me with everything and honestly I have no complains so far. The only thing I found not annoying but not nice for the staff, was that every time we needed to get in or out, they needed to come and open us the door. Some keys or so, would definitively be nice. But for me traveling for 5 months around the world, I can assure everybody that this is among the best hostels I've ever stayed at.

Nice terrace, but all the rest is not anything you would dream of unless you are a party animal When I was there some unexpected guest came to visit my bags and left with something that used to belong to me. Not a big deal but if you like to stay in a secure hostel, well book another one.

Hi! We would like to clarify that we are not a party hostel. We have a nice bar with a relaxed atmosphere that works as a social area for guests; so people can sleep or hang out according to their mood. We also have big lockers in every room (1 p/ person) and our door is locked 24 hours in order to guarantee security for all our guests. Only the staff has a key and they are around 24/7 to let you in/out. Thanks for reading!

Staff are very helpfull, good location on Av. De Mayo. Kitchen is small, but you can use the one on the first floor of the building as well.

Love the air conditioning and the upper terrace. The staff was very relaxed and helpful, though on occasion they were too relaxed (one night we waited ten minutes to be let in because the staff on duty was upstairs drinking with guests). One complaint was that we could not bring in our own alcohol. The hostel charged almost twice what the stores charge and we are traveling on a budget (the beer fridge was also only medium warm). Anyway, great hostel, nice people, we will recommend it!

The hostel staff is spectacular. They are very open-minded, nice, charismatic and helped me as much as was possible. Tmosfera The place is also pretty cool and that facilitates the integration of all guests. I really enjoyed the time when I was at the hostel and the city of Buenos Aires as well. I definitely recommend to my friends

The staff were pretty helpful if we ever needed to know something. The location is great because you are right near the main road and near the metro which can take you anywhere. Its a little more relaxed but has people coming and going from around the world so you can meet and all go out if you like. Thanking my good judgement for not going to the place down the road full of 20 year-old back packers

Best feature - roof top terrace. Staff was great. Nice, big rooms. Negatives - bathrooms were not the cleanest with a lot of residual toiletries left around. Party hostel versus a hostel for all ages.
