    Very nice hostel, perfect location, staff friendly and helpful, incredibly good price...currently argentina is too much expensive. To get the score 10 they just need a little bit of renovation work

    Our mattress felt very old and extremely soft, almost felt a bit like you were being swallowed by it 😅 Kitchen wasn't nice, with barely any utensils and the common areas were very worn down.

    Our room was nice, clean and comfortable and Marcelo behind the desk was the sweetest. He gave some amazing tips for the city and was super helpful in general and was very interested in hearing about our opinion of the place.

    Bathroom and showers inside double room are tiny and very dirty. Also the common kitchen is very dirty and equipped with dirty and old cooking tools

    Good value for price in the heart of San Telmo. It's a very old building with nice decorations and atmosphere.

    The bed was way too soft for me.. Also the bathroom is really small and everything gets wet

    The reception was so nice to wait for us, because our flight was delayed. We also could bring our bags before our flight so that was really cool! The room is nice and big and clean. Location is good.

    The appreciation of the property really depends on what we expect, on our end, we are not really looking for somewhere perfect, we are looking for the facilities and the usefulness.

    It was really great, we stayed for 6 nights and the staff agreed really easily our request to extend our stay. They were super nice and chill. The room is really great, there is a kitchen and everything we need, really.

    Walls were quite thin and only window was into the hallway meaning the room was constantly lit at night. Kitchen wasn’t very well equipped for cooking

    Great location, nice rooftop. Friendly owner. Stayed one night in a private and it was a good size with comfortable beds.

    The location is in the centro but I wouldn’t recommend to pick this area, it’s very dirty, with homeless people and shit 💩 on the ground at the each step you take, be careful. Despite that, The hostel is nice, rooms are clean with AC and VERY comfy bed! Stuff is nice, helpful and friendly. Reception is calm and quiet. Many showers and toilets, so there is never queue.

    Centrally located hostel with creative vibes, right in the heart of San Telmo. The famous Sunday market is just a 10 minute walk away. There is everything you need nearby, a laundry, cafés, restaurants and bars. I booked a double room with shared bathroom. The room was clean, spacious and comfortable. I even received an own table for working to my room on request I enjoyed very much the beautiful terrace on the top floor. The staff is super helpful and gladly gives you tips for activities in Buenos Aires. Can fully recommend this stay and will gladly come again!

    Our queen bed appeared to be a combination of 2 twin mattresses and one was older than the other as it sunk much deeper than the other side. Some stains on the sheet.

    The room had high ceiling and balcony. Also air conditioning. Very secure with multiple locked doors.

    The staff is incredibly nice and always trying to do the best they can in order we feel comfortable. I asked to switch off the light in the living room because the window of my bedroom was facing it and they reduced it without any problems. Also we can leave our suitcase before or after check-in/out in a specific room and still using the facility of the hotel. Location is perfect, close to the metro, bus and lively area ( San telmo market on Sunday )
