Pretty good hostel for the price you pay. Our first room had a broken toilet and wires sticking out of the wall but they moved us to another room with no problem. Breakfast was pretty good, croissants, bread roll, cereal and occasionally fruit and yoghurt. It could have been kept better stocked during breakfast time though. The coffee was really awful. They have a small drinks bar and there is plenty of information around reception. Old fashioned lifts were fun.

I booked an en-suite room for 2 people. Room and bathroom were in extreme bad condition. Not sure whether the sheets were cleaned regularly either. I came out with several insect bites and a bit of cold in the end. Staff was friendly in general (except the late night shift one), but there is a little that someone can do when the infrastructure is so poor. Probably one of the worst places I have lived in my entire life.

Hello Sunil, sorry for your experience in the hostel Ritz, we will analize your opinion to improve our service. But the sheets were cleans, the bathroom seems to have a bad look because the building is old. Thank you for your opinion. Regards of the staff.

Nice clean hostel, big airy rooms. Breakfast was standard but nice. The staff were helpful and there's lots of organised tours. Not a party hostel - lots of older people and families so if you're looking to party, don't go here! Great location, right in the centre of downtown. The kitchen is tiny though with only 2 hot plates.

Good hostel with very central location. Staff went to extra lengths to be helpful. Can be noisy at night due to location.

We were only there for one night, but this seemed like a great hostel. The rooms are reasonable and the beds are comfortable enough. The common area is big and pleasant, and the staff are very helpful. Chances are pretty good we'll be back here shortly.

The location is very good, you can get all the parts of Buenos Aires from the Ritz. The Staff is very helpful and friendly, the rooms are cleans. The lobby is very chill out. I recommend it.

In short: The Hostel has a very good location and security. Also the Cleanliness is OK but needs to be worked on a Little more. The only real complaint would be that during our stay the WIFI in the rooms was not working correctly. After several complaints over 5 days nothing was solved. This should be addressed or at least left out from the advertised services offered by the hostel. Another suggestion would be to update the bed-linen. Other than that we had a good stay and the breakfast was Supe

Great hostel with loads of character (the lift is a ride on its own). Really nice lounge/bar/reception/computer area which is good for relaxing in. The staff were very helpful and the location is excellent.

Very relaxing hostel no dramas. Staff are very friendly and speak very good English and provide good local information. Rooms are basic but well maintained with good air conditioning. Balconies are a good addition as well as the location. Breakfast is also an added bonus for the price.

A fantastic hostel! Great value for money- felt almost like a hotel. Lovely rooms, helpful staff, great breakfast, air conditioning, handy location. Would definitely recommend this hostel! Not the hostel to go to if you are wanting to meet other tourists, but still absolutely fantastic.

Extremely friendly staff who were more than happy to help you book buses/ activities etc. Hostel also offered some good activities. Excellent bar/ lounge area to use the internet/ pool table etc. Rooms were very comfortable with air conditioning and kept to a very good standard. A great hostel to see Buenos Aires from as excellent very central location as well.
