This hostel has the best staff who are there 24 hours to help answer any questions you may have. The staff are always friendly and happy to help you. They also have many activities to get involved with if you’re looking for a good way to have fun and meet other people. Rooms are clean, well kept and in good condition. Highly recommend!

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Absolutely fantastic for the price. Staff was extremely helpful and knowledgeable, which was a positive for navigating the city with my, uhh, no bueno Spanish. The room was great, and the whole place was clean and secure. One thing that isn't necessarily clear - they have several activities like (free!) walking tours and outings Tuesday-Friday, and (not free, but worth it) tickets and transportation to fútbol matches on weekends. It was a great resource to have.

Nice modern hostel
Clean modern hostel. Our family of 4 fit in a 4-bunk room, and they provided an extra mattress (and sheets) that we could put on the floor so all 5 of us could be together. There were chargers for every bed. The only problem is that the sink is right in the main sleeping area, so if you needed to use the bathroom at night, your hand washing would be disruptive (okay for us as a family, but I imagine it wouldn't be ideal if you had just gotten one bed in a bunk with strangers).

Excellent hostel, great location.
Excellent hostel that feels a little bit like a hotel in terms of amenities, but still has a nice hostel vibe socially. Very clean, rooms are cleaned everyday and they even make your bed. Can highly recommend. Great location in San Telmo too.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
I reserved and paid for a private room. They messed up and didn’t have one available when I arrived (despite the fact that I had pre-paid) and I had to sleep in a dorm room. I would never have agreed to do this if i had known this would happen and they didn’t even say sorry. The bedroom windows don’t shut properly, the sink is outside the bathroom and the noise from the street makes sleeping at night nearly impossible. Completely avoid.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
Great on a budget
Great if you are looking for somewhere on a budget and just want somewhere to sleep spending minimal time. The shower room attached to the bedroom was tiny to the point you stuck to the shower curtain when trying to stand under the water. Anything left in the small shower room on the other side of the shower curtain got wet; not great when you want to try and dress after as you are sharing the room. The bunk beds were shakey and extremely creeky whenever the room mate moved only slightly. On the plus side the room is cleaned every day, the breakfast was nice and the area feels safe. It was very cheap per night but I probably wouldn't stay here again if I was to return to Buenos Aires as I have stayed in better hostals.

Poor
Stayed in a private double. Had what we needed but staff were rude, lock on the door was broken and night staff played music very loudly way into the night which we could hear in our room. No wifi in room- we were on the 1st floor and the staff shrugged their shoulders when we told them it wasn't working nor cld we connect to any other network in the hostel. Feels as if they are living off one very good trip advisor award 3 years ago. Probably good for young solo backpackers who don't need any help.
