They gave us a smaller room than the one we booked and payed

The room was in a separate section from the hostel's interior rooms, and it was very cold. The air conditioning wasn't adequate. There was a duvet but no linens, so its cleanliness was questionable. The air conditioner wasn't working at full efficiency. For a place where it's winter, I think they need to improve the heating.

The location is excellent, in a safe neighborhood. A great location for San Telmo. The cleaning is good. The staff is helpful and friendly. There wasn't a hair dryer, but we asked for one, and they provided one. Thank you.

My room had a very strong and unpleasant smell due to the lack of hygiene of some of the guests. Thankfully, the staff was incredibly kind and allowed me to stay in the lobby and rest on one of the sofas. They even provided me with a blanket and made sure I was comfortable. I’m really grateful for their help. It’s unfortunate that some people don’t consider how their personal hygiene affects others — a little self-awareness and cleanliness go a long way.

Very nice staff and ambience

The common area was much smaller than the pictures and the kitchen was always busy so it was hard to find a slot to cook (if you need to cook)

I had the big deluxe room so it was pretty comfortable. Tub, shower and AC/heat.

The shower water pressure is not great.

Location great, and great social areas

Although the place was cleaned by cleaners, spaces specifically the kitchen seemed to get overwhelmed. Despite signage, there was still dirty dishes left which made it difficult for new people to make meals there. However, this may be just because of the people we stayed with at the time. Otherwise the kitchen was fully equipped, some utensils such as chopping knives were scarce.

In a great location in San Telmo, easily accessible to the markets and local cuisine. The staff were all really friendly and help us with bits and bobs like airport transfers and tours to do. They offered a Tango night where they taught beginners the Tango. The communal area had space to lounge and chill with plenty of plug sockets. The bed was comfortable and the room cosy to just chill and relax when needed.

The other people staying there were terrible at cleaning their dishes up the poor staff had to keep cleaning up after them

Such a great location and awesome hostel! The neighbourhood is super safe and close to everything uou need. Just around the corner is awesome restaurants, an indoor market and cool vintage clothing stores. The staff were so friendly and lovely. It was cool how they put free events on for the hostel aswell. Room was awesome, really spacious and nice and clean

Payment with card needed to be done by providing all card details out loud, rather than being able to add them on your own. This didn't feel safe, so I preferred to pay the extra fee to pay in cash. Many people were smoking outside of the room, with the smoke getting inside the room through the door space and windows, which to non-smokers is definitely not a good thing.

Puerto Limon has a great location, with the market nearby, as well as many restaurants. The common space is very wide and the look and feel is very modern. The place included a wall with very good tips and information of what to do and they helped us reserve a very early taxi.

Kitchen is small. It’s difficult to cooking in peak times. Sometimes, the public bathrooms are dirty. Personal experience: When I checked in and paid on the first day, the staff pressed the wrong amount on the card. It should have been $30.42, but she typed it as $3042. Because the staff was inputting the amount on the computer, I didn’t see the card cost amount at the time. It was not until the evening that I discovered that a lot of money had been deducted from my credit card! Fortunately, the evening staff was very nice and helped me contact the boss for a refund. The fee was refunded two days later. This was an accident, but I was so shocked! My suggestion: the guests who use credit cards should confirm the amount they enter with the staff before paying.

Staffs are friendly. The atmosphere of public area is good.

Street noise was very loud and soundproofing non-existent, kitchen was not very clean, fridge was packed, vibe of the hostel guests was strange and insularly, people helped themselves to my labeled food (and smashed up the rest of it), and the keyholes from the 1800s made the doors a bit of a challenge.

Price for a private room was outstanding, bed size was great and room was sufficiently spacious. Bathroom was not exactly an "ensuite" as it was outside the room, but was very nice with good water pressure.

Stayed in April 2025

Indoor climate in the room was terrible. No air, stench of sweat and farts. Toilets not very clean upon arrival and no toilet roll. Not much privacy.

Friensly staff, good atmosphere, nice common areas. Social and good location. It was worth it even tho the room was not very good.

Only 3 bathrooms for everyone

Bagage storage, big bedroom, good common space

The dorm rooms are loud; the doors, the bunk stairs, lockers, the external stairs - I can sleep through most things, but it was challenging getting rest with travellers rolling in at very different times. The bottom bunks are also really low, so request a top bunk unless your want to hit your head.

Great location! Nice communal area with lots of seating and lounging options. Lots of guests, but not a particularly social hostel. Cheap accommodation for BA prices.

The bunk beds are quite low. If you are tall, try to request a top bunk or you will hit your head. It can be a little smelly. There may be incense at the entry or the smell of cigarettes wafting into the lobby.

Puerto Limon has a great location. It’s close to many small shops for food if you like to cook. There is a lovely patio area and generally friendly vibe. I made some new friends and got to practice a lot of Spanish.

They tried to charge me 41% more than whats showing in booking, as they wanted me to cover the fee that booking is charging them and also additional 21% tax but this tax is only for residents not foreigners, at the end they told me if I want to pay with pesos I will pay 41% more than booking and if I want to pay the booking rate I need ti pay in usd

Its amazing place! Loved it!!

Common area was, for some reason, uncomfortable. A few long termers seemed to be there just staring into space. Had some food taken. Kitchen deas too small for Suze of the hostel. It was pretty dirty too Staff were too helpful or interested

Room was nice. Comfortable bed. Good location and a good price

This is a niche problem, but it’s not a great place to get work done. The main place with tables and chairs is right next to reception where they play music most of the time so it’s hard to concentrate. There’s a few tables outside but they’re usually full and in the summer it’s quite warm. Would really appreciate a table and chair in the rooms, where it’s a bit quieter, or access to another air conditioned and quiet room. This isn’t a necessity but if they want to improve this is what I’d suggest.

Very clean and comfortable, great location a few blocks from Plaza Dorrego, aircon and hot showers, nice kitchen, great staff, light, shelf and plug-in next to each bed, amazing quality for being one of the cheapest places in town.
