No kitchen, only 4 safes for 8 beds. The food is really expensive and definitely not worth the price. Basically a fine place to stay but nothing fancy.

I definitely enjoyed that they had different activities each night. Clean spaces and lots of space to separate noise from the bar area.

The noise from the bar travels all the way down the staircase. If you're near the stairs the room will be loud until morning. No events besides the bar parties like at other Loki's.

The place is extremely laidback. A great place to relax. Also Mike was awesome. Very helpful! I would've stayed longer if I could.

I was given the key to my room with no orientation. The breakfast hour is only an hour long and it's early. At least they allowed for a late checkout. Also there was a piano, which I definitely enjoyed. No lockers that I saw, but I was alone in my room so no idea if that was just my room.

A little far from the bus station but easy access by combi or taxi. Nice area for hanging out and a mine tour through the hostel. Seems to offer lots of things but never saw anyone participating and it was never explained...

Only spent one day here. Place was fine but nothing special. Hot showers were definitely a big plus though.

No lockers that I knew of but was alone in my room. Breakfast is extra but cheap. Good access to an Uyuni tour, which was very nice. Warm showers were very welcome since it gets really cold. Very nice staff...internet though, is really spotty.

The bathrooms were not the best but the showers were warm. Nice rooftop area for hanging out in warmer weather. Otherwise not a great place to hang out. Lockers in the room and definitely clean.

Very similar to their sister hostel Empedrado but it didn't feel like it executed as well. The events didn't seem as well organized and the breakfast was not nearly as good.

Thanks a lot for your review. We are still improving our services and hope to reach soon the same level as Hostel Empedrado.

The location is the only issue and that's just because it's one of the furthest north from the center. The access to everything is easy in the city and the breakfast is great! Also the free wine hour and the various events are a must do.

There is no breakfast on Sunday. The group dinner on Saturday was really nice. I felt like the place was pretty disorganized in general.

We are an inclusive hostel & we will accommodate any last minute guests in any of our prepared dinners. As for no breakfast on Sundays, I find that a little odd. We serve a typical Argentine breakfast every day of the week including Sundays, providing a variety of fresh & locally made pastries, buns as well as coffee, tea and mate & corn flakes from 8 am until mid-afternoon so even late risers can have breakfast any day of the week. We do appreciate your comments and hope to see you again!

The internet in general was kind of spotty. There were only two lockers for a 4 bed room which was frustrating. The breakfast was really nice with avocado, fruit and bread.

The 15 bed dorm has three stacked beds...tricky to maneuver. It's in the center which is nice but it's pretty quiet where it is. A nice place to relax and socialize.

Great location close to the beach but breakfast is not included and it's expensive for what it is. And there no real common area to meet people and hang out. I still enjoyed the staff and the lodging but things to be aware of.

I had a great stay at this hostel. It's a long bus ride in but it's located right near the beach. They let you borrow toys and things for the beach. The staff is very friendly and the group atmosphere is very nice.

Everything was inconsistent. I was in a 6 bed and it was great. Lockers, good internet access and good bathrooms...and then the next room, the lockers were broken and the internet was intermittent and the bathroom was unclean. The staff was pretty non-present and there was no one participating in any of the "so called" events the hostel hosted.

The atmosphere depends extremely. The staff was always great and very helpful. It's located very near Avenida de Mayo and is close to the subway system. I would recommend.

There were very few bathrooms and showers for the number of people there. I liked the atmosphere and the staff. I was only there for one day though.

The location (being a good distance out of town) was both a good thing and a bad thing. It was a little difficult to get in or out but it was very quiet and cozy! I had trouble getting to El Bolson and the staff was very accommodating with my reservation. The dinners were delicious and a great way to meet the other guests. The place was very peaceful and quiet and had good access to things to do.
