- Air conditioned everywhere at all times, which is rare - Very nice staff - Everything is super modern and high quality, as should be expected at this price - Especially the locker setup in the beds is great, with plugs inside the lockers - You get a key to the door - Very nice layout of the whole hostel, with dedicated areas for chilling together, cooking/eating, and working quietly

- The bathrooms are small and offer little privacy. The men's bathroom had very bad air, probably the ventilation was broken - The atmosphere was not super social, it was difficult to meet people organically here - prices were a bit too steep when I stayed there

- great location (Av De Mayo is closeby to CBD and other landmarks) - wifi connection is stable and quick - room and facilities were generally clean during stay - some staff members at reception offer great insight on things to do whilst there (can organise tickets at good proces for tango shows etc)

- cash only upon arrival, but you still have to present a credit card to the person at reception when checking-in (did read these prior and alot of guests are uncomfortable with this) - some staff members seem to have a limited knowledge on things to do in the city, whereas others know quite abit, so seems to be abit of gap in the knowledge share amongst the team

Loved my stay here and had such an amazing time. The hostel is extremely clean and well maintained. They have such a great kitchen which made cooking enjoyable. The rooms are spacious and has a lot of storage space. The beds are very comfy and each bed has its own light and socket as well as curtains. They have a living room space as well as a space dedicated if you're working. The staff here were amazing and definitely enhanced the experience, they're very helpful with everything and great to just have some banter with. The hostel was very social and met some amazing people while I was here

I highly recommend staying here; it was a great experience. The place is exceptionally well-organized and clean, and the staff is very friendly. The location is excellent, with several points of interest nearby and a subway station conveniently located right in front. Overall, a wonderful experience at a very fair price!

Unfortunately, there weren't many opportunities to socialize with the other guests during my stay, which was a bit disappointing. However, I understand this isn't necessarily the hostel's fault, sometimes it's just a matter of timing and luck with the people staying at the same time. It would have been nice to have more of a communal atmosphere, but overall, it was just an unlucky coincidence.

Loved this hostel! The building has a cool feel with old architecture. Beds were comfy with curtains and your own light. The kitchen and bathrooms were nice and clean. They have a great little co-working space upstairs as well as plenty of comfy couches.

It’s a period property that is well looked after. Everything worked as it should. There was hand soap in the bathroom and paper towels to dry hands There’s also an uncommon feature of bedside curtains, a very rare feature in South America. Showers are hot. The staff are exceptionally kind and helpful. The best that I’ve stayed in in South America so far.

Nothing. It’s a very good hostel. Just a small issue, the lavatory rooms are a bit small.

I really liked the facilities: great kitchen space, living room, and co-working space. Bunks are spacious, private, and the mattresses are really comfortable. The staff was kind. I felt like the currency exchange here was fair, if you need to exchange a little money in a pinch. Super clean overall.

Showers need hooks/shelves. Like everywhere I've stayed/eaten, I wish the wastebaskets in the toilets were emptied more frequently. The location is not ideal and can be a little interesting given the current political situation, but I would most likely choose to stay here again given all the positives :))

i had a wonderful and great stay, place was conducive for making friends or doing work. they had the whole second floor dedicated for that. big kitchen with a refillable water station (save plastic bottles!).Hostel workers were great, especially Sebastian and a brazilian girl who just started out there, they were helpful and tried their best with everything. Last but not least, kudos to the cleaning lady, hostel was spick and span for the week i was there, even when it had 100% capacity.

-The first few nights i was given a bed that kept creaking, i felt bad when i got in super late at night. only the bedframe was filmsy, bed was alright. -And this is why they did not get a 10, they needed my credit card number, security pin and expiry date. not sure if it was stored or not but i was very unhappy that they needed/had full access to my credit card details..

Good beds with curtains for privacy. Good location close to Congress. Well-driven and functional hostel. Would stay here again.

The toilet is really cramped without much privacy. Had to pay in cash. A bit expensive compared to other hostels. Also was a bit cold with only the thin cover in autumn. Fortunately I had my own blanket with me.
