The hostel is wonderful, the attendants and the whole staff are amazing. I've had one of the best Trips of my life. It was my first solo trip and I chose the Viajero precisely because they have a program of activities that encourage interaction among guests. Therefore, in addition to the hostel having a very mass space, the suggestions for the tour are also sensational. I met people from all over the world, if I return to Buenos Aires, I will definitely stay in the Viajero again. The only point that they could improve is the frequency of cleaning the rooms, I stayed in a shared room for 6 women for 6 days and sometimes we had to request the cleaning and replacement of toilet paper, but nothing that hurt my experience. Geronimo, Daniel and Ariel are the coolest of the team!!

While I gave this place five stars across the board, it is important to keep things in context and perspective. I had two nice rooms here. When I extended my stay for two additional nights, I had to change rooms. My room was a double with a queen bed. It is good for two people sharing a bed. It has a nice bathroom, although the shower and in the case of the second room, which had a bathtub shower combination, in both rooms that I stayed in, they were in the sleeping area. The hostel is a party place and thus rather noisy until around midnight, especially if your room faces the back (pool side). The hostel offers free ear plugs. There is a sign in the room. I did not see any of the dorm rooms, so I can not speak about them.
The hostel has a lot of space to hang out in. It has two really nice swimming pools. There is a rooftop pool that is indoors. The serve breakfast at an additional cost. They also serve food the rest of the day. The food is good and they have a bar. The hostel holds it own daily activities. What is nice is that they also have a Whatsapp group account that you can join. The hostel posts various activities and reminders. It is also a good tool to contact others to arrange group outings, asking questions, and more. The hostel is a good place to meet people.
The hostel is in a nice neighborhood, not far from stores, shops, and restaurants. It is a 20 - to 30-minute walk to many main sites. If you are traveling with young kids, children under 18, this may not be the place for you. This is not a traditional hotel. One last note, I had a late evening flight. I was able to store my luggage at the hostel and still use it's common areas which included the pool until I had to leave for the airport. Personally, I found it to be a great place to stay.

A lot to digest? Read an AI-generated summary of recent traveller reviews.
Staying at this hostel really added value to our trip to Buenos Aires. What I love the most about this hostel were the variety of activities they have, including: asado experience, learning how to make empanadas, yerba mate workshop, tango show and class, karaoke, tours, movie nights, and organized night outings. Although I couldn't make to most of these because of my plans made previouly. Secondly, the staff were all really helpful with questions, recommendations, if you need help with anything, accommodating our very odd check-in time, and letting us know of the daily activities through whatsapp group. The room was really nice and well air-conditioned. Our room was on the ground floor so it was noisy, but they gave us free earplugs. The location was great, short walk to downtown area and walking distance to San Telmo market. I can recommend this hostel and would stay again.

Clean, LOADS of amenities, very social. Bar, 2 pools, TVs, guitar, really cool glass stairs and elevator. Most hostels do not have lockers big enough, these are huge. My main piece of feedback is please clean the pools, they are very cloudy (and too cold to get in, which is unfortunate because it is summer right now)

Nice hostel, social atmosphere, Geronimo and maira in particular provide excellent customer service. The cleaners take great care in ensuring the rooms are clean I seen them scrubbing the shower this morning. The pool outside is also great.

This hostel exceeded expectations! The rooms were clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. The staff was incredibly friendly and always ready to help with recommendations or assistance. Its location was unbeatable, close to major attractions, restaurants, and public transport. Social events made it easy to meet other travelers, creating a fun and welcoming atmosphere. The kitchen was well-equipped, and the common areas were cozy and perfect for relaxing or working. Great value for budget travelers who want a lively, convenient, and memorable stay. Highly recommend! Daniel and Carlos were great.

Excellent stay at the Hostel. Everything is top notch, from check-in where they receive you very well. The room is very cool, the hygiene throughout the Hostel is excellent as is their kitchen where they prepare a very delicious breakfast. The activities they do are very good to meet the other guests of the place and have fun for a while.

The stay was great and without a hitch. The staff responds very well to the queries and requirements that are made. Very pleasant atmosphere in general. The location is great since it is very close to the tourist attractions, which allows you to get around on foot.
