Relaxed environment with everything you need

We arrived late and was greeted by a fiesta in the garden outside our room. We found it entertaining and appreciated that it ended about midnight. The desk staff was friendly and helpful. We had a few hours check out so we hung out in the common area. Everyone was great.

Party place with nice decor

Staff were a little offhand staff the beginning but they were very nice overall. This is a party place so if you are looking for a quiet place this is not it. I liked the decor and everything about it but we were kept awake by other guests who were drinking in the courtyard all night.

Common area nice but rooms are dirty

The hotel is well located. Their common area is nice as well, the kitchen is nice too. We were in a private room with a private bathroom. Saying the room was ugly would be an understatement. It really was filthy and moldy. The curtains need to be changed (see attached pic). In fact, the room we had should be renovated illico presto.

Great for solo travelers

Great value for money and convenient location.

No frills but comfortable and friendly place at a great price. Local to the Sunday market at plaza dorrego and La Boca. Easy walk to SUBTE trains to get around if you prefer not to walk. Beds were comfortable and there is a courtyard and reception area and free wi-fi. Really liked it and enjoyed our stay.

Nice hostel

Very nice, clean and quiet. It is not a party hostel. Room was very clean and spacious. Good location near restaurants and public transport. Breakfast is average. Male staff member could be friendlier and not make fun about customers in front of other customers. And it would be great if they give you some turistic information on your arrival.

Good location

The hostel is in a nice location close to most things and just 10 mins walk to city centre . The hostel doesn't have charging points in room which makes it a bit incovenient to always charge your phone at common areas and wait for it , u can charge at reception but they don't have enough points . The showers are okay and room spacious enough .

Aus Sicherheitsgründen nicht empfehlenswert. Eigentlich eine passable Unterkunft, aber eines Morgens wurde ich von einem Mitbewohner geweckt: Das Zimmer war verqualmt. Der Luftreiniger hat gekokelt und ich hatte es von alleine nicht mitbekommen, weil es keinen Rauchmelder gab. Auf meine Anfrage, ob man nicht einen Rauchmelder installieren könnte, wurde gesagt, der Chef sei nicht in der Gegend, aber man könne mir ein anderes Zimmer anbieten. In einer Zeit, wo alle ihre Handys mit Billignetzteilen im Zimmer aufladen sollten Rauchmelder für ein paar Pesos schon drin sein …
