Very helpful staff. Our room was clean, quiet and had two empty beds, which made it great value. The location was also very good. The breakfasts were amazing. I would stay here again just for that. More

Stayed for four nights at the beginning of BA trip. Great location in San Telmo, plenty of bars and restaurants within a short walking distance, and a supermercado across the street. The best aspect of America del Sur is the staff: they were friendly, spoke english, very helpful with suggestions for thing to do and see, and the complimentary walking... More

This hostel is more like a hotel. We did a private room for 2 and for 2 people it came to $350 USD for 5 days. Nice. Good value. The staff is incredibly helpful - speak English but will let you practice your Spanish on them gladly. Many people from other hotels come for the activities. Clean, modern, good breakfast.... More

Double room was nice with good shower, hairdryer, tv. Our room faced the main street and was very noisy during the night with rubbish collectors and people on the street. The air con in the room was very poor and a fan would have done better. We didn't find the staff very helpful (except one or two). Other hostels seem... More

Is cheapest, quiet room, good staff, has a lift and is a hostel in a hotel structure. Breakfast is ok. The are good locker. The only thing boring is that the sink was clogged. Very close to center, Casa Rosada and 9 de Julio and subte (Independencia) More

This hostel must be newly buildt, its very modern and as far as hostel's go, very flash! Each room (4 beds) has its own bathroom/toliet. There's a nice lounge/social area downstairs that has a TV/stereo/PC's. Excellent wifi throughout the building. Great location, just a few minutes walk from the main street area. Highly recommended.

The good- very clean rooms, cable tv, lifts, wifi The bad- Lots of traffic noise if you have a room at the front, they put up heavy curtains in these rooms but still very loud from about 6am. The kitchen here is really poorly stocked. Very small for the amount of guests who want to cook. Very expensive for a... More
