Travelled argentina for a couple of months in 2012 and intermittently spent weeks at a time in Buenos Aires. I found this hostel to be extremely clean, comfortable, sociable, friendly accommodating and the location is excellent, located very close to the metro and in the centre of Buenos Aires. I would highly recommend this hostel to all.

I stayed at this hostel with 2 friends for almost a month. It's a great hostel, and is way bigger than it looks from the outside. The breakfast is awesome - if you're nice to the staff they give you bigger portions of dulce de leche :) All the staff were super-friendly and took the trouble to make our stay... More

The hostel is located two blocks from the Obelisk and the main street. It is very clean and the rooms are secured with code so no one from outside can enter without permission. The staff are friendly and helpfull and the included breakfast is really nice. You can make a pure orange juice everyday :)

Cons: Kitchen is small and under equipped for the number of guests; four-tier bunk beds are too tall and have no safety rails; there are... More

Overall this hostel was well priced with clean rooms, hot showers, and free wifi. However, We did have a sour point when we asked how we were able to buy tickets to a local soccer game. We were advised that we were unable to buy tickets online and that the only way was for them to call up for us... More

I stayed in this hostel for 4 nights and enjoyed every one of them. Arrived late on check in where I was greeted at the reception desk with staff that were good at English and put me at ease.

I made so many good friends and will never forget the experience. Sure it is not a 5-star resort but it is a decent hostel with good staff and facilities. If you tell... More

We stayed here for a night as a stopover before moving on to the next leg of our trip. The hostel is well-priced given it's excellent location, minutes from the obelisk. We had a private room which was clean and a good size with an overhead fan. The bathroom was also a good size with a reasonable shower. The person... More
