I stayed here for a whole month so I've got a pretty good idea of this place. In some aspects it's great, but then there are things which really let them down... The good points first: The location is ideal - near to the Plaza de Mayo and other tourists attractions, several buses and subway stations within a couple of... More

We loved this place! Security is great, rooms are a perfect size & you get clean sheets everyday! The lounge and kitchen are wonderful! Rooftop bar is where a yummy breakfast is served and then from 7pm onward you can buy drinks and some hot food! The staff speak English reasonably well which is a wonderful help! And they have...

I expected an A/C room, but was assigned a dorm without A/C (one of the main reasons I booked with them, so very disappointed...room 306). The terrace is nice, the kitchen is small but has lots of pots/pans and doesn't seem to be often busy. Bar on the terrace, which is nice since BA isn't the greatest place to be... More

The hostel is located in a great location and easily walkable from main spots on Ave 9 de Julio and Congresso. We stayed on the 4th floor in a 4-bed private ensuite room and were satisfied with the room and amenities. More

Stayed here for one week in the dorm rooms. They have a Decent argentinan breakfast (croissants, coffee/tea, fruit). Location is good, close to metro stations and ave de mayo and 9 de Julio, about 15-20min walk into the heart of San Telmo. Handy small grocery store down the street. Overall a great stay and a good clean hostel. More

We stayed there for 5 nights in December 2011 with my wife. Double with privete bathroom very good value - hotel quality for AR$300, quite good breakfast (in compare what we got in the rest of the Argentina :)), nice kitchen (even if on the last day I met some warms at there, still nice), very good common areas and...

Another staggering bus trip this time through the Andes brought us to BA. Portal del Sur was a sound choice considering the Lonely Planet that I was reading on the bus was 5 years out of date. None the less, we gambled on my choice. It was busy even for off season at Portal del Sur, we walked in and... More

Great location a block from Av de Mayo in BA's "Microcentro" (close to sights and subway). However, a few complaints: - No curtain to keep the room dark in the morning (daylight would wake me up early every day) - Noisy - Tiny bathroom: could hardly move around in the shower! - Terrible breakfast At USD 33/person for a private...

My husband and I stayed in portal del Sur for 4 days. We stayed in the private room ensuite. The building is classic old BA architecture which I loved and we took many pictures of. Clean simple rooms. The ONLY place in the three hostels we stayed in during our trip that had wifi in the room. The others I... More
