Located at San Telmo, a bohemian bar in Buenos Aires, it's a very cozy, clean and well located hostel - near plaza de mayo, paseo colon, plaza san lorenzo, among others. They have a fair price and the staff is very helpful in tips around there and about the city. The problem is with the common area: it isn't in... More

It's not really difficult to please me and I'm definitely not high maintenance at all, but this place is by far the worst I've run into. I was supposed to stay for 5 nights in January 2012 but I left after the second one and let me tell you why. First of all, the receptionist, who was a Colombian girl,... More

We had a private room with bathroom, fan only, and it was ridiculously hot. We were across the street from the main hostel, the main problem being that the room was on the ground floor with no windows. The private rooms with shared bathrooms on the levels above would have been much better. The staff were pretty surly, the breakfast... More

Considering the area (San Telmo) is historically old and run down by time, this spot tried to spruced up the place with charming art and b&w photos. Nevertheless, it's nothing special and hardly comfortable. Service is mediocre, could be cleaner, and the a/c barely worked. Great location though.

The location is a great aim for this hostel. We have been in Buenos Aires 3 times before. All of them in central area. This time we wanted to try some different place. San Telmo is a charming neighborhood with nice restaurants, art-deco shops, squares and an amazing fair during sundays. We have found this hostel thru booking.com. We were... More

Stayed in a double room which was across the road from the main building. At first we were given the room on the first floor at the top of the staircase however were not really happy with it as the window facing the stairs did not lock and didnt fancy leaving our stuff there without it being secure. The guy... More

The hostel was decorated very nicely, it was very clean and the common area was really nice. There was no sound on the tv and you had to be buzzed into the stairway to the rooms, the staff were usually pretty fast doing this. Unfortunately it's a bit of a trek to the top floor, but the view from the... More

We stayed in a double room, which was over the road from the main hostel - set in a nice clean modern setting, complete with shared terrace overlooking the street. At first we thought it would be a pain to cross the street to use the kitchen for cooking, but it's less than 2 minutes walk... and the benefits of... More

We initially stayed in the dorm rooms which were good - our room had a toilet/ shower which was handy. We thought the dorm rooms were really good value. We then moved to the private rooms across the road- they were new and nice with beautiful and modern shared bathrooms - this was also really good value compared to a... More
