Location is a tad bit far from the train station, but for the price it's well worth the walk! Great to start Cinque Terre from here and move your way down each city by train. Great balcony to watch the sunset from, staff very friendly. Would stay here again.

Great social environment! The hostel has a family feel where everyone hangs out with everyone. They organize group bar crawls that are free and are an awesome time. Free hot soup every night which is a huge bonus. The building is older and in mid winter a few of the rooms can get a little cold, and the limited amounts of plug-ins in rooms is a bit of a downer but other than that this hostel has everything you need. The people who run it are great!

Great place to stay! With new renovations this place is awesome. Beds are new and comfortable, bathrooms are all new and always clean. The kitchen is awesome with a wicked view of the lake. Staff are all super chill, and the location literally can't be beat being right in the center of Queenstown. They are working on the new common area which at this moment there isn't really one, but once finished, this hostel really has it all!

Only stayed for a night but this hostel seemed to have it all. GREAT location downtown Brisbane. The free drink at the bar upon checkin was a nice welcome in a pretty awesome bar thats attached to the hostel. Rooms and bathrooms were clean and beds had power points right beside every one. I would recommend this hostel to anyone and i would definitely stay here again

Really great place to stay. Facilities are really good. Kitchen is big with a great common area inside and outside. You can get surfboards, bodyboards etc all for free to rent and the beach is only about a 10 min walk away. They do great trips with all the people from the hostel which makes the place extremely social. Only downside is the quiet time after 10pm which is STRICTLY enforced even though everyone in the hostel is basically drinking together. Easy to go out somewhere else.

Awesome location and cool hostel to stay in. Everything was really clean. Only thing was the metal bunk beds were pretty squeaky if you had a restless sleeper in your room. Other than that everything was great, would definitely recommend staying here

Nice atmosphere in this hostel, feels like a bed and breakfast. No bunkbeds which is nice. Reception isn't open very late so if you're coming in after hours might be a problem but we weren't so it wasn't a problem for us.

Wonderful hostel! Facilities were great, hot tub overlooking the city/ocean was a really nice touch. Very close to the ferries, excellent wifi, free breakfast, nice beds. Ran by a lovely couple who upgraded our room without asking, at no extra charge! Would highly recommend staying at this hostel and would definitely stay there again.

Have nothing bad to say about this hostel! Staff was nice and they organize party events outside of the hostel as well as book tours around the city for you. Internet was good, and kitchen had all you needed. Coffee/tea all day is a nice added touch. Great area around restaurants/shops/grocery stores. Went in the winter so had no use for the pool.

Buenos Artes Hostel, Buenos Aires, Argentina

This is probably the worst hostel in all of Buenos Aries.The beds were so thin/worn out that you could feel the bed posts underneath you.There's 3 showers, but only 1 works so people line up to take showers. No hot water some days, other days no electricity. Only 1 useful staff member, the rest were rude/unhelpful. Staff smoked inside & falls asleep at night so you can't get back in. One night a staff member was even tattooing his friend in the common room!? You have been warned, DONT STAY HERE!

If i only had 3 words to describe Rio Soul, I would say 'Best Hostel Ever", but since i have a few more ill elaborate. The staff are amazing, all of them. They make you feel like your family while staying there. They are super friendly, down to earth, and very helpful. The atmosphere is awesome if you like to party and have fun, otherwise it may not be the one for you. Great location and close to everything. I will stay at Rio Soul EVERY time I'm in Rio, and will recommend it to everyone i know

Great hostel and really good atmosphere. Short cab ride to all of Rio's attractions. The staff are really friendly and helpful, and the breakfast was one of the best ive ever had at a hostel, was more than just your traditional Brazilian breakfast. Common rooms were awesome with 2 different tv's you can watch. The only thing i found bad about Samba Palace was that the wifi at times did not work very good. Other than that, i would recommend this place to anyone and i would stay here again

This was my girlfriend and I's first ever hostel to begin a 3 year trip around the world. For our first hostel ever we were very happy with the place. The staff is incredibly nice and helpful, breakfast was good and the place was very secure, and rooms were cleaned daily. For us, the location was awesome because it was right near the stadium for the world cup game we watched, otherwise it was still really nice, settled in their historic district. I would definitely stay here again
