The staff here are amazing - very friendly and helpful. We had a private double room which was nice but very noisy owing to the traffic outside. The shower was also very leaky. The breakfast was okay but the kitchen was small and I imagine not great if you want to cook your own meals. The location is excellent. Overall we had a good stay and I would say this hostel is worth the money you pay.

Definitely recommended.
Room was clean, however towels and bedsheets were not changed throughout our stay. The hotel is located in the centre of Buenos Aires although you have to walk at least 10-15 minutes to any major tourist attractions.

A reasonable stay.
The place is nice with decent sized rooms. Most of the rooms face the side access road which is incredibly loud 24/7 which makes it hard to sleep and on two different occasions there was no hot water for a shower. If you are looking to party don't stay here as most of the residents are students studying most of the time and when asking the staff where to go for a party they didn't know.

Good hostel
The hostel is fine. Had a double ensuite for the first 3 nights. Was ideal apart from the noise coming from the street. Pretty noisy but not the fault of the hostel. The guy on reception, although very nice, hasn't a clue what is going on. Asked him a few questions about where to go for steak etc..... he had no idea. Another girl at reception didn't know where the nearest ATM was. The American girl on reception did know her stuff. We got a shared room for the 4th night. No towels provided for the shared room. Kitchen is poor. Breakfast provided does the job. Cornflakes, bread, eggs and a grill to cook as u wish. Cake and dulche de leche. Good coffee and a selection of Tea. Best steak I had in Argentina was in Buenos Aires - Parilla Peña.

Reasonable Budget Hostel
A budget hostel in the centre of Buenos Aires. The best bit about the hostel is its location and the wifi which was very good throughout my stay. The staff were friendly and the breakfast was average. It had a small kitchen and a nice common area with table tennis and Netflix on the TV. Unfortunately the place is a bit run down and the dorm rooms are by a noisy road. There was also very little atmosphere there during my stay. Overall a reasonable budget hostel but there are better hostels in BA at around the same price.

Definitely recommend for BA backpackers
Booked double room then extended to dorm for a week and half. Location is the best-few blocks from center of downtown, supermaket is at right across the street. Felt very safe and easy to navigate myself from the hostel. Staffs were so friendly and helpful, and they arrange daily free activities like tango lesson to mate tea tasting. Definitely recommend this spot to everyone heading to BA who needs bargain and quality accommodation!

We spent 3 nights over there. We don't recommended at all. The staff is unprofessional. Half breakfast was displayed at the recepcion while the tea was in the community room. The cleaning staff was nice with us but one of the guys at the recepcion was very rude. We have only one room ready even we booked and payed for two, they wanted to give us only one.

Good location, that's about it
Poor rooms and baths, kitchen. Not a great building. Good art inside, relatively good location. Maybe the best that can be done with the space? Checking in took ages. Giving the benefit of the doubt perhaps understaffed?

Nice double rooms for couples
We stayed in both a twin and double room. The private rooms are good - fairly spacious and clean. Note, showers had tendency to leak water on bathroom floor due to poorly designed curtains. The hostel overall was quite good and would recommend it but we did feel like there were too many rules such as getting reminded at breakfast that we were only entitled to one serving of bread/media Lunas each. We also had to pay for luggage storage of 20 pesos per bag per day which we have never been charged for previously in Argentina or south America for that matter. Also, walk-in rates were higher than online and when we asked if they could match the rate online, this was not permitted and had to go through the Hassel of standing at reception and booking the room before they would allow us to check-in. For us, we just don't think hostels are actually that rigid on pricing.

Good location; private double room was mediocre
I had an extra day at BA city and wanted to find somewhere close to the downtown. Location was great as it was close to Julio Ave; but the backstreet environment was very dark. Too close to main street such that it was pretty noisy throughout. In general a good hostel, but didn't feel the private double room was worth what I paid for. Also if you have heavy suitcases - be ready to lift them up three stories staircase. Staff service was inconsistent depending on who is on the roll.

Nice Hostel. Good Location. Friendly staff. Incredibly noisy. The street is so loud and there is no air conditioning. So you have to open the windows at night. The bathrooms give not as much privacy as I would wish but they are very clean.

ba adventure
I only stayed for 4 nights and fortuneatly moved from a 4 bed to 7 bed dorm was only me plus 2 other ladies and another gent then was just me and 3 other gents. The staff were amazing really welcoming and friendly playing decent music and up for a chat. It made my stay feel really good I think if it wasn't for the staff and the other guy I hung out with for the very short time I was there then I don't think I would of stayed. The location was very central and convenient and security was good also. The only problem I had with the place was the extreme hot or cold I had with showers.. Other then that perfect stay perfect trip

Unbelievably convenient location of the hostel is something need to be mentioned,almost all tourist attractions are nearby from casa rosada,cafe tortoni,cale florida to the magnificent parliament building.also the famous teatro colon located just few blocks away.I was able to walk from the BA hostel two sundays in a roll to the amazing sunday market of San telmo!

A nice place though noisy
At first I was excited about the piano in the common area. Unfortunately it was played at odd hours and frequently too. The sound was incredibly loud in my room even though I was on the floor above. It wouldn't have been that annoying, however, the piano is horribly out of tune and the people playing it didn't really know how to play. None of that is an issue unless you're trying to sleep or get some peace and quiet. Otherwise the stay was pleasant.

The best Hostel in BA!
The people at the front desk are really helpful, the common areas are big and comfortable, Great location (close to the subway and main Bus Stops and right in the middle of BA), the rooms are good. In Summary I loved my stay there and I know everyone who was there was also having a good time.

Great location
Centrally located, close to tons of restarants and bars, as well as many museums and shopping. The staff was very friendly and helped suggest and book a tango show. Great atmosphere although breakfast was a little un impressive, but you can go to one of th many cafes in the neighbor hood if you want something more full filling.

가성비 좋은 호스텔
겉에서 보기와는 다르게 넓고, 매우 청결한 호스텔이다. 주방시설과 휴게실도 이용하기 편하고, 직원들 모두가 친절하다. 단, 건물이 도로에 인접하고 있어 차량소음은 있으나, 가성비를 감안하면 견딜만 하다. 위치도 중심가에 있고 지하철과 모든 버스,특히 공항행 일반버스 정거장이 근처에 있어 매우 편하고, 까르프가 바로 앞에 있다.가성비는 매우 좋다.

Tivemos problemas
O prédio é muito antigo e com muitas escadas para subir. O banheiro privado nos quartos é muito pequeno e tivemos um problema de inundação por conta de um ralo entupido. Foi preciso resolver por nossa conta, pois não tinha nenhum funcionário no local no momento. Os atendentes são simpáticos, mas raramente estão disponíveis. Apenas tivemos atenção no checkin e checkout.
