My wife and I stayed in private en-suite rooms at the hostels in both BA and El Calafate and could not praise them more. The hostels themselves are both very nice, with good rooms and good locations but it is the staff that make this small chain fall into the "excellent" category. From the moment you arrive they make you... More

I liked this hostel a lot. The staff are extremely welcoming. We stayed in a private room, which was fine and had air-conditioning and tv. The common areas of the hostel are great- a living-room type area downstairs with 3 computers, and indoor and outdoor seating upstairs. I also liked that there was a range of ages of people staying... More

We stayed there for 2 nights, the room has a window to the terrace, there is always a party, so its impossible to sleep. But you can close the windows and turn on the A/C. Clean bathroom inside the room. You can order a steak or something local in the restaurant, or have a beer. But buying beer in the... More

Best hostel we stayed in during 3 weeks in argentina and chile - good rooms, great social areas, outdoor space, free towels, very helpful staff, good breakfast (as far as they go in argentina - could really do with muesli or brown bread for a change), reasonably priced drinks. If you want your stay in San Telmo then stay here! More

A cleverly designed building in a great location a few blocks from some excellent restaurants and bars. Spotless 4 bed dorms. Very filling breakfasts. But the staff are really very special. Friendly, helpful and supremely knowledgeable. This is a perfect place to stay in Buenos Aires. More

Excellent location, with good cafes and restaurants nearby. Extremely friendly and helpful staff. Free tours of the local area run by the staff were very handy. Rooms basic and clean, good showers. Free wifi reaches the rooms, and free Internet in the basement. Definitely recommend. More

I couldn´t have asked for a better experience; I have had an amazing time!! Rooms are clean, fresh sheets and towels every day, great breakfast and most importantly, really helpful and friendly staff. All of the travellers that I have met here have been so friendly and sociable. A must stay hostel for anyone travelling to BA. More

I stayed with a friend in a private twin room - we both enjoyed our stay without complaints. The staff were helpful and friendly. The room was clean. The neighbourhood which this hostel in located in is quite beautiful. There are also quite a few descent restaurants around (within walking distance) and the antique market was also a short walk.
