Very basic hostel, but clean and well-kept. In great location right next to city center. Lacks lockable storage in rooms, so don't bring anything valuable you can't carry on your person. Otherwise, the services were very good for the price. Staff very kind and accomadating.

The staff at the hostel are very friendly and kind. The rooms are very large although there are many beds and there is plenty of space. There are big communal bathrooms that are never busy. There was free breakfast in the common room in the basement that including bread, jam, butter, muffins, coffe and hot chocolate. Although there are not a lot of activities in the hostel, there are always other people in the rooms if you want to meet more people at the hostel. Very good deal for the price.

THERE IS NO KITCHEN. We didn't realize this. Just a microwave and some plates and a few cups. In general I wasn't very impressed. Showers are bad and at one point there was no toilet paper in the bathroom, in any of the stalls. The staff was just ok.

The hostel was pretty clean and well maintained. The staff was very friendly and very helpful. It is in a great location, about a 6 minute walk to Plaza de Mayor. My stay at the hostel was a good experience and I would stay there again.

They had a large room/salon, but they didn´t actually do anything with it. They use it better I think. Also, they don´t have any activities. A good thing on the other is that you can meet some people there, thanks to large dorms

Hostel staff are BRILLIANT.. So easy to get along with and so helpful! Even let me use a little toothpaste when I ran out the morning of my checkout. No lockers but the garage is excellent. Location is perfect 10 minutes walk to anywhere in the old town/city. Very clean. Toilet stalls don't seem to have lights in them, not that you can really close the doors to them anyway. I never found this to be a problem though, it's easy enough to establish your presence. Washing machine was handy.

Decent place for the price. Too much noise, if not form the same room then from the room below (if your room is above). Location is right in the center and rooms and restrooms were clean.

Good place to stay if you just need a bed and a shower for the night. No way to lock the lockers, and with 20 people to one room, this could be concerning. We had no problems with theft, however. There is no common room, just a table in the middle of the 20 person rooms. We were able to meet people from our room and had a great time with them. For the money, definitley recommended.
