About
Hostelworld users rated us the Best Hostel in Latin America at the 2011 & 2012 Hoscars!
If you are looking for a modern place with a relaxed atmosphere and welcoming staff...you should experience America del Sur Buenos Aires!
Our hostel opened in December 2008. It was built from scratch to fulfill backpackers’ needs while offering modern decor and high-comfort accommodation. We are in the famous San Telmo district. This is one of the oldest districts in the city and is within walking distance of Plaza de Mayo, 9 de Julio Avenue, Puerto Madero, and Plaza Dorrego. The metro station and buses are also nearby, so you can go everywhere easily.
We have a wide range of private rooms, with doubles, singles, and twin bedrooms as well as triples and quadruples. We also offer four-person shared dorms. Both the shared and the private rooms have private bathrooms, individual air conditioning units, and a hairdryer. Double rooms also have cable TV, telephone, and safety boxes. Dorms have individual lockers.
We also have wheelchair-accessible rooms and two elevators.
The shower and toilets are in different compartments so two people can use them at the same time.
We have a great TV room with DVDs, an amazing open area for BBQs, free Internet access on three shared computers, and a free Wi-Fi signal in all rooms and common areas.
Would you like to reserve any excursion or bus? Or watch and feel an amazing Boca Juniors Football Match? Or find out about the best parties and restaurants in town? Our staff will help you with bookings and advice to make the most of your time in Buenos Aires!
Please note that due to severe fluctuations in the Argentine pesos, rates are in USD to avoid any price difference and misunderstandings. If at the time of making your reservation you choose to see the rate in ARS, please beware that Hostelworld show a referential Bloomberg´s rate, but the in force exchange rate for tourism is the Tourist or MEP exchange rate, which is much higher. This is why rates are in USD and do not change.

Hostelworld says
Hostelworld guests voted America del Sur Hostel Buenos Aires the best in Argentina and Latin America at the 2011 Hoscars. This hostel is located in the beautiful San Telmo area, a short walk from Casa Rosada, Plaza de Mayo, Calle Florida and much more. Travellers tell us the staff are "enthusiastic, friendly, helpful and competent, while the hostel itself is very chilled out if you want it to be, but also can party a lot, too". We like that all their rooms are low capacity and ensuite.
