    kitchen is too small only fits one person, and the showers are not that good.

    My private room was great, big. Good value.

    Quaint hostel with colourful artwork everywhere! Marcelo was super friendly and helpful. Gave us recommendations for where to visit and eat and even waited with us for our uber to the airport. Room was spacious and clean. Toilets had hot water and good water pressure. Location was walking distance from san telmo market and the plaza de mayo. Great value.

    Very friendly people, we loved the service and the hospitality. There are a lot of toilets and bathrooms, which is great. The rooftop is an extra plus, it's very nice to spend some time there in the evening. The location is good - you can walk anywhere or take a bus or metro at a close by station.

    Budget place to stay in BA

    Unfortunately, the room was not very clean and the towels had some ugly stains on them. The room also didn't have curtains, so it was pretty bright due to hallway lights. And the noise levels were pretty high - this is typical in hostels though. Overall, everything was fine, but it is not a fancy place.

    The location was great and the employees were very friendly and welcoming. My room was large and spacious and the shared bathrooms were clean. It was easy to check in and its within walking distance of everything you need.

    It's quite "loud" in the morning, if your room is next to the reception. Also the internet connection sometimes is not the best

    The really good thing, is the location, because it's only some minutes distance to the San Telmo Market and the metro station where you can go to other places in Buenos Aires. The room is basic but clean, the same as the toilet.

    The kitchen could do with some more utensils etc, you can generally get by if you plan on cooking in the hostel but be prepared to have minimal cookware. It looks like in the past the hostel used to have a functional bar on the rooftop, it would be cool if this came back some day to make the hostel a bit more social but it’s likely not economical currently.

    Staff were very friendly and accommodating, they let us alter our stay and add more days once we were settled, they also gave multiple recommendations of places to check out and general tips. Our room was comfortable and clean with good facilities inside (aircon, safe, desk, clothes hangers etc) and not too noisy in the later hours even though we were next to the kitchen. We were given soap, shampoo and towels. The location was perfect, close to shops, bus and subway stops as well as some really cool bars, food spots, clubs and a market. Really good value for money overall.

    When we were there it wasn't particularly social. The mattresses were pretty saggy. Someone stole our tortilla out of the fridge 🤬

    Super friendly staff and nice vibe and neighborhood. Sufficient amount of bathrooms that were pretty clean. Spacious and clean rooms. Plus a super sweet cat 🐈

    The staff ( Marcello) went out of his way to help me. I arrived very late but he helped me check in without any fuss. It’s a very functional hostel with a great terrace, common areas. Marcello also helped with airport transfers and guidance for places of interest. Thank you Marcello

    The kitchen could be better set up!

    The location was ideal, near everything in San Telmo, a short walk to Centro and near bus stops and the subway. Our room was spacious and clean. They provided toiletries and towels. There were lots of bathrooms so there was always one available when we needed showers. The staff were really nice and helpful. Guido was great!

    Some of the communal bathrooms were not very clean and constantly had wet floors. however there are alot of bathrooms around so it wasn't a big issue. the kitchen also appeared a bit grubby and was extremely basic!

    The staff were very friendly and helpfull. Good wifi and good location. walking distance to many buses and even to some of the main attractions if you are happy walking 40mins! room was very large, had a fan & AC. Very secure. safe box in the room and keys needed to enter the main door. was a lovely and quite stay which was ideal. if you are however looking to meet other travellers it may not be the palce for you.

    Good sized room, bed comfortable. Individual shampoo/conditioner packets provided which I thought was a nice touch. My room had a private bathroom but I noted the shared facilities were also clean when I used them after check out. The host was very friendly and helpful! He was even accommodating when our flight was delayed, meaning we checked in at almost 3am. Lovely orange cat too!
