For me, it was a good place to stay, the staff was also very nice and helpful (I don’t remember everyone’s names, but a girl named Maria was working that day, she was very helpful and gave me very good recommendations on what to do in Tucumán)

The hostel is quite basic but it was okay for one night. I had a private room which was good value for money. The location of the hostel is good. The people working there didn’t speak any English but I did meet some English speaking guests. Showers/ toilet facilities a bit basic. Kitchen not in a great condition, felt very old and not too clean.

The place is clean (too clean?). The staff are especially helpful. It was pleasant. The location was pretty good, near the bus terminal and grocery stores. I have no complaints.
